Mother's Day 2020

It is Mother’s Day 2020. It is a sunny and chilly morning (39 degrees) and it is supposed to get to 59 at some point. I don’t remember it being this cold in a long while on mother’s Day. It rained last year.
I have sent out e-cards to most of the women in my immediate family. (The Rivera-Morgan) and I will be calling my three aunts later today (2 live in Texas and the other lives in Ga).
I had a fleeting memory of all the gifts I had given Mom over the years and I see I mentioned it last year. It isn’t as emotional this year which is probably a good thing. I also remember there were years she didn’t want anything but as I said last year I gave her me that still made me feel guilty.
My three aunts I spoke off are all Moms’ Sister-in-laws. Rosemary was Dad’s oldest sister. She is the last remaining of Dad’s siblings. Their brother Joe died many years ago and before Dad died. Their Sister Pat died in 2009. Betty was Joe’s wife but is now married to her current husband and he is not well either. Rosalie was married to Mom’s brother Ray. I am having a hard time remembering how long ago he passed. Legacy.com isn’t listing him.
I will be going on a walk as soon as it gets a little warmer. I will go on different route then yesterdays and hopefully a bit farther (hopefully get to two miles).
The only cooking I will do is the chicken and the pork loin. I was just looking up to see how pork loin can be cooked in a slow cooker. I can do it but will have to turn it over a few times during the cooking process. The chicken I will cook will be done the same way I have done the shrimp. That would be the shake and bake home style (seasons, and oil).
This week should be fairly quiet. I have to go and get my INR checked tomorrow and will have to go back on Friday to see Dr. Lu. I can’t help wonder if we will discuss the communication issues from earlier this month.
The only work related activity is the zoom union meeting. I was supposed to help with a survey but never got it. DK and I are supposed to do our staff and I have no idea when that’s going to be. Now that the Town Halls are every other week I don’t have to rush to the computer on Wednesday.
DG/Shadow hasn’t responded to my email from last week. That means she has been very busy. Well what can I say? Debra and MA said not to worry about it. So I won’t.
I have the coffee talk Meetup on Wednesday and the Trivia Night on Thursday. GC says there are a few groups that have trivia nights but I haven’t seen any myself and some of the groups I am not anxious to join right now. Maybe if I looked harder it would be nice.
Have a great day…..
