Icy Days , Stuck Inside...Shots Looking Out. . .. Cabin Fever Setting in

 

Walked the Length of Quill Pond Yesterday

 Joy, forgot how wonderful fresh air is. How sweet the smells from the woods, plants, and animals.

Fresh air is a free gift for all of us. Today is our first snow storm, so I am inside. Warm and cozy and looking forward to an afternoon tea break. No place to go, a day to relax at home. Joy. 

This pandemic is building up strength again.  Joppa Flats Audubon is closing Jan 7 for two weeks, Senior Center of Newburyport  is also closed. Here we go again. Try to stay calm this time. Take some joy each day into your heart. Get a new hobby, read a new book, work on embroidery project.  Start another French knot hat project. Stay calm, breath at night, at day, and at noon. Stretch your body. Love your body.

Don't become fearful. Stay safe at home. This too will pass. 

How I watched Frontline in late evening and scared myself out of sleeping all night.

Ok, this really scared me. Documented evidence that some rioters were from the military.

Shit, I have to take a nap. 

Happy 2022

These past few years all blend into each other. Covid, masks, shots, isolation, fear, no travel, very little social contact. Well Happy New Year. Today, I woke up to massive fog over the pond, the trees, and a lot of rain. I am glad that so far, we have been safe from covid. 

This past year in June, I had complete  total  knee replacement for my left knee in June, and my right knee in November. Besides stays in the hospital, doctor visits, pt visits and utter exhaustion, I spent a huge chunk of last year recuperating..

I can not wait for my first spring walk (sans pain). 

I was lucky enough to get scheduled around covid out brakes. So, I am hoping for this pandemic to  disappear and give me my life back.

Is that too much to ask for?
