9-5 (5/1/22) -- Mood Boosted

A couple of appointments landed on the schedule -- two for Friday. Now that shouldn't be a problem, but severe weather statements today indicated that some ugly winter storm will arrive Friday. Expected snowfall amounts went from 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) yesterday, to 10 cm (4 inches) late night yesterday, to 25 cm (10 inches) today. That would make getting around town and the hills involved in getting to appointments unpleasant at best. 

Just after noon today, I got my COVID booster. There is hope for the future with that.  As with past doses, some localized soreness at the injection site began about six hours later. Minor pain in the elbow, wrist and shoulder arrived this evening, too. It will be less intense tomorrow -- based on past experience. I also expect some fatigue will be present for a couple of days. 

I took the car to complete some errands today while temperatures were above freezing and before the looming storm. I got some groceries, picked up some paperwork, and dropped a food gift at the home of a friend. Then I headed out ro pick up dinner from a local restaurant. That business was open for takeout or delivery only. It was weird to see the dining area in darkness and only three staff members handling all the orders. They did a great job and things were on time. 

While the day was grey and cloudy with bits of rain into the evening, I worked to focus on the positives of the day. It did feel OK in many ways. The lyrics of the selection for today has an upbeat sound and positive lyrics. Keep safe. Enjoy! 

Lovely Day -- Bill Withers
