Weekly Update 01/16/2022

Because I didn’t do anything on Monday, I had a lot of errands to get done on Tuesday. I began at City Hall, where I spent a few hours reading through old magazines and making notes of anything involving Savannah. I stopped at the library to pick up a few books to read to Adrian when we zoomed. The children’s librarian helped me, and I also found a couple on my own that I thought might be ok. I had to go to Publix to do a bit of grocery shopping, but not too much. And I went to pick up a prescription at the Walmart (which was not ready), but I got a flu shot as long as I was there.

While I was out, I continued my quest to find something to hang on the front door now that the poinsettia wreath is packed away in storage. I had hoped to find something on sale, but all the holiday decorations were to Christmas-y. I was looking for something that would be a snowman, or sled, or something like that. No luck. My last stop was At Home. I didn’t find exactly what I wanted, but I did find a small fake green wreath and a few white ornaments. I got creative, and made something. It only cost me $4, so how bad can it be?

I’d been feeling very very tired lately. I didn’t have a sore throat, cough, headache or sniffle, but something wasn’t just right. There is a COVID testing site about three miles from me, so on the way back home from Green Square on Thursday, I thought I’d give it a chance. It would have been easy if I’d filled the forms out correctly the first time, or if I could read the signs that say One Way, and didn’t have to drive all the way around again. Even with all that, I was done in less than twenty minutes. I was notified very early Sunday morning (they must be working 24/7) that my test showed negative evidence of COVID. I was glad to know that, as now I can feel that I’m not inadvertently making anyone else sick.

Saturday morning I had my first Zoom meeting with Adrian. What a delight! I read the books I’d borrowed from the library, while he sat on Sarah’s lap and (kinda) listened. When I suggested this to Sarah and Jack, I said I would like Adrian to be able to recognize my voice and face, but I knew that I was not going to have a conversation with a baby. Reading books seemed like a good compromise. It only lasted for about 15 minutes, but I loved it! I hope to do that again.

And then there’s the Buffalo Bills! What can I say! What a game! I actually was hoping for something a little more exciting than it was, but I will not complain. How can a team play so well on both sides of the ball in a game against a traditional rival in the playoffs, yet lose to the hapless Jags in the regular season? I wonder which team will show up next week. I knew it was cold because you could see the breath as the players were on the field. No snow, but I still liked seeing what I’m missing. Brrr

Is tomorrow a holiday? I can’t remember.
