Bloodless

Well, it appears that my blood donation days are completed.  They had no success getting my veins for a second time at the latest drive I attended yesterday.  I am saddened by this turn of events.  After 26 donations and over 3 gallons, I am through.  Don't know the answers here, but it is what it is.

The Abbott Sturgis plant is soon to open to provide more baby formula.  This is good but the startup will take up to 12 weeks to get the products to store shelves. What happens in the interim?

Spoke with my cousin Maria  in Melbourne Australia via Messenger this morning and we are finally working on combining our family trees from both sides of the Atlantic. This will be a daunting task for me locating all the generations that preceded mine and the offspring of current relatives. She is over her Covid bout and back in action.  Her husband Zoltan is still struggling with his.  I wish them both well.  Its still amazing to me that we can have a line of communication between us at this distance.

They have been having management meetings and parties at the Penitentiary for the last two weeks.  All the participants treat the residents like they are invisible with little acknowledgment or conversation.  They have excluded us from the common areas we pay rent for with their private events.  They had a cookout on our veranda yesterday  and we were allowed to get the leftover hot dogs from the refrigerator in the community kitchen.  Dirty cooking utensils were left in the sink.  Oh, well the old people will clean up after them. 

Saw wonderful friend Janine yesterday with her dog Pippa walking around the neighborhood, with ice cream afterward.  One of the good things about retirement is that you can have ice cream whenever you want.

Lot of kid activities in the upcoming days.  Eli and Marie, Shannon on the weekend and the little guys on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Am praying  for good weather so we can get the out and running.  This really helps at bedtime.

Oral surgery coming up for me tomorrow, its really no fun but necessary.  

supposed to be a rainy day today

all for now

stay safe
