I'm lookin' at a timeline sorta week, starting today.
It's a week of doing all the usual daily stuff in between all of the following:
Empty bird feeders and clean thoroughly---seems salmonella is killing a lot of birds in the area.
Get data transferred from old i-phone to new i-phone and try taking some photos.
Prepare some munchables for the Lovestead Super Sunday Super party featuring Bill and me.
Root for the Kansas City Chiefs and for Amanda Gorman.
Spend a busy Monday getting odds and ends prepared for the rest of the week.
Make sure everything around the place is prepared for cold, cold nights.
Stay awake past my bedtime on Monday to Root for ZAGS vs. BYU.
Hope ZAGS win so that sleep will happen after a late game.
Head south on Tuesday to get second vaccination.
Feel relieved that it's done, and feel good as long as possible.
Pencil in time and contingency plans for misery lasting up to 36 hours after shot.
Come back to life, if needed.
Drive to Spokane Airport and pick up Annie, complete with double masking and warm clothes for open car windows.
Plan for Bill's misery over the weekend after his second shot on Friday.
Hopefully, start feeling fine and find some way to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Love's need to do that, ya know!
To say we're looking at a busy and a "super" week ahead is an understatement.
Besides the big game, Bill and I are super excited to get poked in the arms. Plus, we're super excited that Annie will be home later in the week (in a motel) for a few days.
Plus, the sun will be shining on cold, crisp days after a very snowy, sloppy day yesterday.
This morning's walk to the barn and back was a super crunchy experience, as the super cold days have gotten off to a start.
Overall, the week should be all good, even with the anticipated misery!
And, so it begins!
Happy Sunday. Stay safe today.

Finally, I'm including a link, featuring Laura Penney, CEO of the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel.
The story outlines the careful and successful steps Laura and her staff took to reopen the Casino in the middle of the Pandemic.
Besides her career as a regional business leader, Laura happens to be the mother of Jade, one of our beloved quadruplets.
Great story, Laura.
Congratulations to you and your team for this great success during hard times.

I'm told by bird aficionados that these visitors (above and below) which showed up shortly after Bill put out the suet yesterday are starlings. I was hoping they were something else because we don't usually see starlings around here in the winter time. One birder told me they are "colorful" starlings, which, indeed, the one above is. I guess, from what I've been told, they'll be hanging around as long as the suet does. |
