Monday
Dear Elsie
Today is the day your clever Dad updated my blog site and all the missing notifications got unplugged and sent off to recipients. Valerie-Gail was the first to tell me they were missing. She sent me a screenshot of a bunch of them coming all at once.
The thing with this daily account of my life is, while there are a (small) number of people who read it every day, it’s meant for future Elsie. She’ll scroll through the endless accounts of what happened each day and I think she will shake her head in amazement that I wrote every single day for hopefully a few decades. Maybe in 40 years time, if it’s still out in cyberspace, others will stumble on it and ooh and aah over the archaism of the times in which we live. I sometimes think of it in terms of David’s Long Covid. “Why was that such a big thing?” they may ask. Because there is no known cure. But one day there will be.
David has had a couple of good days. The Low Dose Naltrexone seems to be helping, so I’m ordering more of that.
I worked a full day today. Wind is a strong south-easter so there was no swimming.
This evening, all is quiet on the home front. David has gone and Mike and Julian are playing chess. The only other noise is the whistling wind.
While they are playing, as soon as this is done, I have another assignment. Julian has given me this book to read. I am setting myself a goal to read at least a few pages every day.
The big event of the day is that today is Lizzy’s first birthday! Happy birthday Lizzy!
Busy Monday done. I’m going to hit publish now and listen to see if Julian gets his notification.
Psalm 42:8
By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx
