I Never Noticed Februrary

January is a blur A suffering month. A lengthy ugly hospital-visit-filled month. It dragged for the first few weeks. Then my mother passed, I lost awareness on January 28th. I never woke up at all in February. Who was at my job? I do not know. I must have shown up though because they paid me. Maybe on autopilot, going through the motions I have no recollection of February 2020 at all. in any way, shape, or memory And now it is March. I would love to say things are getting better.

From the frying pan in January to the fire in March. All you skipped was the puddle in February. Oy! Hang in there, Caren! :) gw

I have to say today in the sun, a 74 degree day, where I spent almost all of it outside, my attitude is pretty upbeat and happy!

I am staying as positive as I can. Today I spent three hours outside in the sun. Best day ever so far this year.
