This has been a challenging week with very high caregiving needs for my mom. I had to take the week off from work to take care of her. Even with my wife and I working together, it is a challenge to provide the type of care my mom needs.
The weekend went by very quickly. I was glad to have some time today to see my daughters. I’m looking forward to a good week.
It is 70 F and sunny — A beautiful fall day in North Carolina. I’m glad I have the day off and can enjoy the day.
I decided to create Vlog entry on my birthday. This is my first Vlog on the micro.blog platform. Hopefully, I’ll get better with practice.
I’m grateful to have completed a challenging workweek.
Family and friends have reached out to wish me a happy birthday. I am grateful for this good day and especially grateful for friends and family.
Currently reading: Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham 📚I just started. I liked the back story of Biloxi — including the development of the area over the past 100 years and the ambition of the immigrants for a better life. It reminds me of my ancestors who settled in Appalachia in the 19th Century and moved to Michigan in the later half of the 20th Century.
Finished reading: Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly 📚. It was an enjoyable read. I’ll look forward to what’s next for the Lincoln Lawyer.
Currently reading: Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly 📚. Harry Bosh is one of the characters. He is a Vietnam Veteran and the youngest he could be is about 78 years old, which doesn’t work well for detective work and fighting bad guys. I still enjoy the book.
I’m glad my wife, Julie, and I can spend about 90 minutes together this evening just enjoying each other while we watch TV. We don’t need to have much conversation (we are both introverts). Just being together and enjoying a peaceful moment is something for which I am very grateful.
