Awake: 5:08am Temp 41 Mostly sunny Overnight @ Nicktown
We do the short drive to the community center for 35 min of exercise….then
attend 8:00am Mass. Afterward @ the post office parking lot, we talk with
Viola’s husband, Malachi about the condition of his wife: he told us that
she is in a medically induced coma, has a breathing tube down her throat,
not breathing on her own & has not been responsive since shortly after
arriving @ the Altoona hospital on Monday. There isn’t much we could say;
we offer our condolences & pray for what’s best. Then, we spend 50 min
with the dedicated coffee club members.
I had talked with Rosemary earlier & she hinted that today might be a good
day for us to re-position our coach. Until this time I sort of vacillated
between moving and simply staying as we are. Our circular drive is finally
clear of snow so why not make ourselves comfortable. With the slides
extended, I have no vision to the rear, but Kathy's hand signals are
precise & we are re-parked within min in a more suitable spot on our
driveway.
Kathy finishes a load of laundry while I top off the pure water holding tank.
In the sunshine & out in the grassy area of our circular drive, we give
each other haircuts which we both desperately needed. Amazingly though,
this is Kathy’s 6th haircut that I’ve given her & during my cutting, she
is still on edge & a little nervous. Then…as it happens, days later she
will admit to me that she likes her new style.
Taking advantage of this nice weather, I invite Kathy for a walk around
our property: through the woods, past the spring down in the field, etc.
It’s been a few yrs since she’s explored our property also.
7:07 dinner: Tuna & noodle casserole with spinach salad.
Evening time: talk with Melissa & Kevin & get the daily report.
High temp: 62 Lights out: 10:57pm
