So, I have the house to myself for a bit.
My one eye is watery and ick. Was outside pulling weeds and trimming yesterday. Must start using a mask, I think.
Went out for a bit to pick up Tom and stopped at the grocery store.
Today, I had one of those moments of happiness and sadness. The happiness was meeting the one month old son, Kenneth, of one of my former Girl Scout troop members, Alysia. The sadness was learning from her mother, Barbara, that the heart condition Alysia (she was 26 or 27) had all of her life had had deprived her new son and 18 month old daughter, Pandora, of their mother. It was one of those... "Am I really hearing this" moments. Barb and I chatted for a bit before we left. When I left the store, I was counting my blessings grateful that my children are alive and have always been healthy.
