Weekly or every six days?

 To do an offline draft and edit or write and press Publish? Yes I agree, an edited draft is superior. And I could make various excuses. So for tonight I will just go with unedited fragments.

Kathy had a call from a nursing classmate husband.  The wife was in memory care and passed. We will travel a couple hours to be there next Tuesday - Wednesday. 

Our Monday blizzard was of note. Gusts to 56 mph with four inches of snow. Connecticut son and the state of Rhode Island featured 20 inches and 38 inches. That kind of snow takes days to push from chaos to control. Worse, the Massachusetts mother-in-law lost power for well over twenty-four hours.  A cold house is COLD. A text showing mother and our daughter-in-law smiling meant a house starting to become warm again.

Skin red; other shifts in routine visits.

 To complete 4 then eight and nine, nineteen and last number 28. The drive, the drinking water one half hour before. The three visits to drain off the water. All good to be behind me.

TWENTY EIGHT total.

 Two remaining. Each Monday with the doctor check in, a question. Are you fatigued? This Monday the answer will be yes.

Excited medical technicians. (RE: Super Bowl )

 One asked about the snacks we would eat. One is a die hard Brady fan so wears number 12 as her work top. One was thinking terms of the half time show. I said I was neutral as far as the outcome. A bit of excitement for the local team but mostly looking forward to the game itself.

I think the Patriots might stumble,  18 - 42.

I did not check to see if those scores come together. BUT there you have it in writing.

Always excited, new month meaning a new posting start point.

My January 2026 had me on a schedule. By June I may give specific details.  Other than that, we have had a stretch of consistently cold temperatures. Layering, long underwear, and mittens knock most of that cold down as I walk outside. Here in Maine trees protect from harsh constant wind chill. A scarf over the chin is still standard issue.

We learned a lot over four winters in Alaska. We also have some really old outer wear. BUNDLE UP.
