hi blessed, lovely to have you stop by!
helia, yes, it is a new phase, but mind you, it's gonna be a short one, as the grandma phase is right around the corner! :-) no project in mind, but once I will have decluttered the way to the boxes of sewing supplies, I shall see. I am kinda thinking about picking up quilting again... and if nothing else strikes my fancy, I know I began a knitting project last fall, a hat, I believe, so I may do that.

Have fun picking a project, Trissie. It is nice that you don’t have estate stuff to do, helian. I have one more piece of executor stuff to do but I am expecting it to take awhile. Walking along the ocean is a lovely way to restore your spirit, FFB. Hope you have a calmer day, GMA, and that your DM is feeling better. Thanks for getting us started, kittykatt.

Church was lovely. So many frineds there who are so supportive and caring, both for me and for mother. We celebrated anniversaries of ordination today, as we have several retired pastors in our congregation. One of them shared his story of call to ministry. He was a student of my father's, and mentioned Daddy in his talk, as part of the influence on his life.
Now it's time for blueberry pancakes, water my baby grasses, and head to mother.
Her pain is from significant arthritis, in her shoulders and knees specifically. She will go from "I'm OK, I don't want to take too much pain medicine" to totally out of control and "I think I am dying" within 10 minutes. She has no ability to sense the onset of mild pain and be proactive about it. Exhaustion after COVID probably exacerbates it.
I couldn't get to sleep las t night, so I am going on about 3 1/2 hours of sleep. But fortunately I had a 10+ hour night this past week, so I have a little reserve.
