Monday we went to the doctor and were told to come back in the afternoon and they still would not remove the catheter and we went home, depressed and I worked and then set up Bookings on one of the days and on Tuesday I don't remember and on Wednesday we went back to the doctor because J was in pain and they inflated the balloon a little and then there was faculty meeting and then the website was going to go live and then the faculty got really annoyed with the website and then I found mistake after mistake and fixed and fixed and then tried to get bookings live and then Thursday the staff meeting and I learned that Nils will be in Germany all next week and then the something and then the admin meeting that John did not go to. Friday morning was a meeting about the website and they had good solutions and I learned that Nils will not attend the admin meetings anymore - agh. Somewhere on Friday the 5th I wrote to Linda and Tina and they wrote back on Wednesday or Thursday and I think we are okay ... Saturday we met Lauri for lunch at the Grease Monkey - good food but soo many people not wearing masks - oh yeah, the statewide mask mandate ended Wednesday - sigh.

My fitbit drew its last breath and I ordered a new one and it got here Sunday. I walked in the park on a couple of different days and it is glorious and the green is every where. 

 

Talked to mom and Rachel and not so much to Annika but they got to meet the dogs for the first time....

Biden gave a speech about mourning our losses sometime during the week and I just lost it. Realized I had not really mourned and I am so tired. He was really good and it was wonderful to have a leader who actually, honestly, cares.
