Easyas and thank you for your kind encouragement and sharing about your family member. I don't mind being at home. I would love to feel safe in helping my dad even briefly on an errand. I really do need my

before I turn into Rapunzel. I pray to have the faith and always that I am being witness to God through my devout faith. I just would never want to catch Covid period but especially after staying safe and healthy for 3 years. Like you wisely said, small steps. I will say that when I went to get the second opinion at my dad's dentist and we had to take an elevator with others to go up to his office, that was too close quartered for my comfort. It was helpful because it put more in perspective that overall I do think brief shopping would be safer because of being able to move around.
The next Tuesday, it's warm, I will give Supercuts a try. Tuesdays are the one day a week when haircuts are $3 cheaper. At the current $30

price, $3 has more value!
Speaking of temperature, we definitely need rain out here in LA. It was an awful lot and so heavy at one time.


especially are sure blooming brighter. Definitely some parts of the state such as where I attended college and later taught get more extreme weather as do people like AuntieMe3 that live in mountain areas, get more extreme weather than I do. We don't necessarily have a true 4 season the way you do back east. Grateful always to be where God planted me and dad. CA is just

Great question and please come visit closer to me some day! I would love to meet you
And thank you for your very kind and wise words to Snowysmom, well said. I completely agree.

for dear you to feel more settled and at peace. You have so much going on most all the time and need to take care! Please do be good to yourself and prayers, of course, for all to work out with your taxes.
Snowysmom, like with me feeling ready to go out, there's a difference between what your mind logically knows and what your heart feels. You, my friend, have sure gone through a lot of loss. I believe Chris wants you to be happier and truly at peace. I sure do from afar as does all of your Quacker family. More than any of us, so does God. He is with you forever and truly by His loving Grace so is Chris. Once you are out of your current condo and extra I pray, completely done with any obligation to it,

will feel more real. I sincerely believe that. I'm excited for you by everything you have shared about your new condo especially the resident activities and opportunities through them to make new friends. As Easyas said, one step at a time
Judique, continuing safe travel

for your family. May you soon get a phone call from London sharing early fun so far with you!
All is quiet and dry here. Still waiting for
Amazon to bring our Kleenex package. That was a huge blessing to grab two eight packs of the 120 flat boxes packages of 16 boxes period and for under $30 (which for us is still a ton of money and a ridiculous pandemic price gouging cost). We had been ordering 18 boxes at once but not when that now currently starts at $45! That's "cheap." Talk about price

So wrong. I pray this awful seemingly intentional gouging would stop!
Wishing all of you a cozy and peaceful rest of the day with love.
