Gosh, the rain was torrential and went on and on – all day and all night long. I think we got at least 2 inches.
Now the sun is out, giving us a one-day respite until it rains again tomorrow morning.
We got our boosters and are having the usual reactions – Don usually feels a bit achey and tired. I am always super tired for a couple of hours. My arm is sore, but not as sore as usual. We also stopped at the grocery store nearby and picked up a few things.
Wren and a couple of birds.
My back is getting better every day. Yesterday was a particularly good day. Nevertheless, I’m being very careful and mindful throughout the day. I want it fully healed so I can work outside. Don’s shoulder is much, much better.
The highlight of yesterday was the confirmation vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson. Cheers were heard in the Hill-Sparks house. Something good happened and our country is miles better for it.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
Wendy T says
Claudia, echoing cheers on my side of the country for Jackson!
Was this yours and Don’s second booster? I was notified that I was eligible for a second booster. Trying to determine the best time for it since I have had 4-day stay in bed reactions with the two first shots and the first booster. Hope your reactions and back continue to get better. .
Claudia says
It was our second booster, Wendy.
Thanks so much!
Stay safe.
Emily says
We celebrated here also with Justice Jackson’s confirmation! So rude for most of the R senators to walk out after the vote, but it reflected poorly on them and not on the excellent candidate.
Claudia says
Unbelievably rude, but typical of the current GOP. Thankfully, Mitt Romney did the right thing.
Stay safe, Emily.
Karen says
Oh, that hat on Wren. So adorable.
Claudia says
I know! Cuteness overload!
Stay safe, Karen.
Donnamae says
Cheers for Judge Jackson! That lifted my spirits considerably yesterday.
We got our 2nd booster this morning. I expect to feel tired later, so I have a quiet afternoon planned. But who knows…maybe my body will surprise me. It did seem strange to wear a t shirt with a winter coat this morning. It’s snowing here…not really sticking, but…it’s snow.
Wren looks cute, but sad…great outfit tho! Enjoy your day! ;)
Claudia says
And boy, do we need a lift of our spirits, Donnamae.
Wren looking sad is exactly what I love about her!
Stay safe.

Claudia says
We had rain again overnight. There are flooded areas all over the place here, so it’s not so good for us.
Stay safe, Kathy.
jeanie says
I’m so glad to hear that everyone’s body parts are healing! That’s always a plus, especially this time of year. We had hail and ice today. It’s getting VERY old!
Have a wonderful weekend. We’re doing Easter early with the grands. Should be lively!
Claudia says
Enough of this lingering winter weather, Jeanie. I think we are all sick and tired of it.
Have fun with the grands! I bet they will love what you have planned.
Stay safe.
Roxie says
We are blessed with our new Justice! She is a welcome ray of sunshine this week; one sorely needed.
Our lovely unseasonable warmth is disappearing. The morning was tropical, now the winds are blustering at my poor old fence. I’m hoping it holds up for just another week when we will have time to mend it. Spring here is notoriously fickle and this one is living up to the tradition. A snowstorm is heading our way soon. Sigh. I guess I can be glad that anything adding to a deficient snowpack is a good thing.
Meanwhile, the Spring Cleaning Bug has bit me. Which reminds me, I need to schedule our second booster too. Glad we all are being smart about Covid!
Keep healing, both of you!
Claudia says
Yes. I keep hearing about people I know being diagnosed with COVID – people who vaccinated and boosted. We still wear masks when we are out and about.
Stay safe, Roxie.
Chris K in WI says
I had a Dr appt yesterday and they asked if I wanted my booster done there!! Fun “surprise” and nice to not have to look for and find a place giving them. I had a sore arm, and was tired, but not the nausea from the first booster. I wonder how many more we will need.
Yay for the successful vote yesterday. Certainly was a bright spot.
We woke up to snow covering the ground again this morning. Lasted til around noon. More predicted tonite. Over it.
Glad you are feeling better and wise decision to take it easy so when we are finally able to get outside you will be ache free ready to go! Hope you have a good weekend. Take care.
Claudia says
Oh, how nice and convenient!
This snow hanging on is ridiculous! It seems especially snowy in the Midwest.
Stay safe, Chris.
