How's your week going? - January 30, 2023

Hi All,

We're at the end of January! How time flies. And as I count my blessings, I'm grateful that it's 50 degrees here.

larryholmes, congratulations on your sons' promotions! Lt. Col. is quite an accomplishment, and it must be an honor to be able to pass on your insignias to them. If I may ask, at what rank did you retire?

Today is my Mom's surgery, and I'm taking my daughter to a pediatric cardiologist to have a heart arrhythmia checked out that her regular pediatrician caught on her last exam. So I've got all my fingers and toes crossed today that all goes well all around.

So check in and let us know how things are going with you. Thanks.

I was a Lieutenant Colonel when I retired.

This year is supposed to be a good one for you.I look forward positive good news.

Very nice that your sons have followed your lead in the military.

The superbowl will be here in a couple of weeks. I hope to stay away from all the crazy stuff that will be happening. I do hope the weather will be good. We have had lots of rain this year.

Mom's surgery went well. She should be headed home today, but we won't have any of the test results until next week.

And we learned my daughter has something called premature ventricular contractions. It basically means her heart is throwing in extra beats. Hopefully, it is not a big issue, and it might go away as she grows, but they have her on a mini-heart monitor for 14 days to make sure there are no contributing factors.

So, I'm hoping this is the end of our doctor's visits for the week! Fingers crossed.

Our older daughter and her husband went to London on Tuesday for a week. The first picture she sent me was of her walking in the crosswalk made famous on the Beatles Abbey Road album, lol. She said it was awesome! They'll be site-seeing on a bus tour of the city, and taking a train to Manchester to see a soccer match. They also have train tickets to Paris that includes a tour of that city, too. This is a once in a lifetime trip, and I'm glad they've worked hard and saved to be able to afford it.

Not only is the Super Bowl coming here, the Phoenix Open is always the week before leading up to it. Traffic will be extra crazy, and stores and restaurants will be extra busy. The airlines have added more flights for the Monday after the game. It will be the busiest travel day of the year.

Our weather has finally turned sunny and dry, but still below average temps. The overnight lows are still in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Hopefully the weather will be nice for all the planned outdoor activities. Have a good weekend everyone.

Yesterday was cold! It was about 15 degrees here, with wind gusts between 15 to 20 mph, making it feel well below zero. I was really regretting choosing to hold off on getting new windows...

My daughter's best friend is sleeping over tonight. She asked if we can watch an episode of Castle. She's binge-watched the entire series on Hulu and she loves it (except the final season.)

My daughter has good friends.
