This morning when I took Shadow to the Vet for his annual check-up, it was rainy and dreary. But at least it was warm. I had on my rain jacket and had to take it off because I was too hot. I ran some errands in town before heading home, and when I did get home, I made some calls about a health issue my sister is having, helped finalize plans for a Newcomers field trip, and had a Zoom call with my primary care. He is going to order an MRI for my back, but in the meantime, wants to take a round of Prednisone. After lunch, I went to play Mah Jong and as I left to head home, I had thoughts about not playing again. I’m not very good at it and just don’t enjoy playing. I know it is good for my brain, but I have never been a game player. I’ll give this some more thought, but I think it is just not for me. In the middle of the Mah Jong afternoon, I had to sit out a game to talk to the companion who works with my sister. Dealing with Patsy’s health issues is becoming a full-time job.
The fun started when I got home. The rain had stopped, so Shadow and I took a walk and played fetch down by the dock. That I enjoy. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny. I need to clean house, but I know I am going to want to be outside. I’m going to try to get up early and get in a couple of hours of cleaning and then spend the rest of the day outside. The temperature drops on Friday, so tomorrow is the time to be outside.
