I seldom drive my KIA but I couldn’t let the registration lapse. First: To an inspection station; Second: To Customer Service at H.E.B. market because they accept payments for various businesses. Third: Obviously, grocery shopping. Food items for now and the future: Oatmeal, rice, canned soup, etc. More cough drops, additional allergy relief items, Sleepy Time tea, etc. ~~ FYI: I was wearing a mask and I maintained a distance between myself and other customers.

This old lady is still wary of groups of individuals. In a matter of minutes, I should be joining other residents who are going to the funeral for a former resident. “Contradiction”  because every week I document the obituaries of members of my extended family but I’m reluctant to attend a funeral in person.

My tendency for obsessive-compulsive behavior has me watching FOX News coverage of the war on Ukraine—hour after hour. So much information; so heartbreaking!!

Home again after a very pleasant outing. We were in a Park, along the river, near the Zoo. Everywhere, there are statues of zoo animals. I couldn’t resist the temptation for these “tiger” pictures. Occasionally, I have used the clipart image to punctuate a message about the documentation of family history in Ancestry.

A dear lady-friend—in Livingston, Texas—surprised me with a birthday present. The fleece lounge set is so soft and silky. So pleasant to touch, and wear. Several years ago, she treated me to birthday brunch at a unique restaurant in the Houston area. In 2018, “dear friend” gave me the warm robe (and slippers) that I wear day in and day out in cold weather!

Hold a good thought for and with me. I’m in  “a better place” lately physically and mentally.

When my hair is long, it makes me even crazier!! Background information: Yesterday, mid-afternoon while we enjoyed warmth outdoors and indoors, I forced myself to wash my hair and took a shower. I was giving myself a “pep talk” to venture away from home today. Waco traffic terrifies me but I **DID** leave home for a couple of hours. On the road to recovery?

Several days without time on Ancestry “climbing the family tree.” Less time watching TV coverage of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Road to recovery?

It is my hope and prayer that I can “march” into the month of March with health and energy. There are so many projects that need my time and attention. Gratefully, I am feeling much better since I began using the homeopathic allergy relief remedy. Praise the Lord!! Yesterday, I did two loads of long-neglected laundry—and a couple of procrastinated tasks. Believe it or not: No time on the computer doing genealogy.

The war on Ukraine has me broken-hearted for the population. I can’t tear myself away from TV viewing. FOX News has extremely detailed coverage.
