I have a friend whose birthday is on Friday, the 13th; it's always been an upbeat date for me as a result. Though last Friday was less so than usual.
For starters, we stayed home from UW Health/Sports Medicine/Fitness Center aka our gym. All classes were cancelled as of Friday and the gym suggested that anyone over 60 years of age (us!) should stay home. Given that it is a space filled with seniors, it is going to be very quiet for the foreseeable future.
We spent the morning keeping up with the news and all the local cancellation notices. Then we went outdoors. Mark walked and took photos while I stayed in the garden, raking and doing initial cutting back as spring seems to be upon us.
I took a stack of books off suspended holds at the library, so I will be set for reading material. Sent for an absentee ballot for the spring election and bought some flowers to raise our spirits. Yes, I did pick the flowers to go with Mark's 1982 painting of the corner of Park St. and West Wash. It's a big piece and has been languishing in the basement for enough years that it was time to let it shine again.
Stay safe, stay healthy.
