New Year's Eve

 

Last day of this most unusual year. Next year may be only a modest improvement in terms of freedom to move around. Yesterday was busy with Cillay calling from Kentucky and a long supportive call with Rosalie. She suggested using our curriculum from our conscious aging class in the new class. I will do so as parts of it are appropriate. I’m very anxious about the zooming. I  hope to get enough information and practice to do well. I will start a new blog tomorrow.

 

 

Day 365

 

I was mentally fatigued yesterday and felt negative about my ability to present a lesson and be a zoom host at the same time. After talking with the director I felt better. I want to do well. I like my lesson plans. Michele and I walked around the block. I enjoy her company and her ideas. Today I will talk with Rosalie and pick her brain too. That’s the whole agenda. I may ask Laurie to zoom with me from Sparks. Her ideas are always special.

Day 364

 

Zooming to church was worthwhile.  I followed along with prayer book and hymnal. Felt connected. Then the zoom lesson that left me with brain fatigue. Not ready for independent use. May take a dozen lessons. I did zoom Kelle and that was fun. Today I will talk with the director and find out what to expect from her as far as tech support. I rested with a couple of  hours of Season 10 of Heartland. I walked around the block and will repeat again today.

Day 363

 

I’ll zoom to church this morning. Janine will guide me. I’m so looking forward to it. That is the reason for the new computer. Distance participation and socialization is better than none. Then I need to sit down and plan for an eight week writing course with all new processes. Later, the zoom lesson with Hollie’s teacher friend. I hope she doesn’t roll her eyes and sigh heavily when I ask the same question again. I walked to the PO yesterday and enjoyed being outside.

Day 362

 

Safeway before 7 AM. Took on the necessary items plus foods like chips. Yesterday I was asked to teach a writing class viva zoom. I said yes even though I don’t know how or what to offer. Hollie to the rescue! Her friend is coming tomorrow to clue me in to the finer points of zooming. I can do it. I spent time with Heartland again.  Season  9 and I’m feeling it coming to an end. I have enjoyed the simplicity and the family dynamics.

Day 361

Wet and gloomy and I’ll probably have a repeat of yesterday. I played a bit with the new computer for facebook and gmail. No interest yet in exploring word 365. It’s huge and I don’t know where to start. I will do it. Hollie and I may make a trip to Safeway. I need protein as the chicken parts supply is done. My left wrist is still sore. Doesn’t like to turn knobs or lift. I’m sorry I fell and broke the rose bush

Day 360

 

Yes, there is a season 8 on Heartland and that’s how I spent the recovery day. My left arm is more useful today although sore. It’s wet out and another quiet day is on the agenda. I snacked a lot yesterday and I need to quell the impulse to grab peanuts or cookies. My pants are getting tight and uncomfortable. I know how to feed myself well. Marj came to visit and I enjoyed  her. We are a pair of 80s who like to work.
