Warm January day outside with neighbors



1^st-Angela, Brock & Lyla visited & I walked outside with Wayne. 2^nd-Wayne’s car had dead battery (are “woes” of December 2016 continuing?) 4^th-Angela & Willow visited me 6^th-Nitza returned to Florida. 7^th-icy roads; 9^th-Clemson defeated U of A for national championship. 10^th-Obama’s farewell speech in Chicago. 15^th-visit to Angela’s. Beautiful day. Outside with neighbors. Ice cream truck stopped by.20^th-Trump inaugurated; recorded, couldn’t bear to watch it. To park with Lyla until dark. She spent the night with me & 21^st-took Lyla to Madi’s 6^th birthday party. Very sweet. 25^th-picked up Lyla at school. To park & then to dancing. Sat with Madi’s mother Sarah & heard details of story of Madi’s birth & Illness (Odin’s curse) & early years. Very interesting and inspiring! I'm so glad Lyla has had the opportunity to have her as a friend. It think it's great to have a friend with a tracheostomy & you just think it's something normal...or at least not something to set her apart. Friday, 27^th-picked up Lyla at school, to Sweet Frog for yogurt then spend the night at our house. Sweet all day Saturday. To classmates’ party at Let’s Play then took Lyla home. 29^th-Angela to our house to work on Nurse Practioner application.Tues 31^st-to Lyla’s school to read with children then visited with Willow at Angela’s house with Jen. Ended the month by signing up for Medicare. Inability to lift Willow led to month of recuperating at home and little time with girls.
