Project 52

The weather is not agreeing with me. Temperatures were in the 50s a few days ago; today we're back to well below freezing and snow is coming down as I type. I am eager for Spring and wanting to go back into the yard and deal with the things the city complained about last year.

My mom turned 82 on Saturday and we (Jebra, mbumby, and I) called her when we were in Dearborn to wish her a happy birthday. She was doing well and enjoying the additional attention she was getting. I'm going to try to remember to call her later on today. I hope I remember as my memory has been wonky all week. Last night I wore the wrong glasses home from work thanks to forgetting to exchange my computer glasses for the distance ones. This wasn't horrible as most of the evening was spent on the knitting guild's zoom call and the computer glasses are better for that. When it was time to exercise Dr. Phil and his guests were fuzzier than I would have liked but it wasn't horrible. What was horrible was knowing that the focus of the show really was duped out of nearly a million dollars by some evil romance scammer. She has a comparatively tiny amount of money left, but I'd be out of my mind with regret and worry if I were her.

For our own worries, the van is once again having trouble. This time it is making worrisome sounds whenever it turns a corner. It goes back into the shop tomorrow. Cross your fingers for us that this is an easy and inexpensive repair, whatever it is.

I didn't realize that your mother was on the early end of the 80s. I was just doing the math. My Mom would have been 89 this April It doesn't seem possible.

I don't think of her as "only 82" though. She's had quite a few serious health problems, starting with type 2 diabetes, having had several strokes, and something with her stomach/intestines that lead to having her internal plumbing re-routed, twice. I can't remember how old her mom was when she died but I do recall my mom telling me that she didn't expect to hang on as long... I just googled my grandma and it looks like my mom's going to be wrong as grandma was 82 when she passed.

I send massive good vibes on the van.

I'm sorry you were stressed out over the weekend. That sucks. Weekends are supposed to be fun and restful!
