Hi, it seems that Spring might be coming. A few shreds of gray ice and dirty crusty snow are in the corners of parking areas and on the north side of buildings. Birds are singing. I am not worried about driving to Newburyport because of weather. Dad trimmed some of the bushes out front, he has been very happy. This is due in large part to his getting his second shot last night. Unfortunately, the person he asked told him he can do anything now, he doesn't have to wait two weeks. I don't know if he misunderstood or what, but he has big plans to go to the bank and the grocery store, even without a drivers license. 

I am finding this part-time schedule a little discombobulating. The days I am not working I don't know what to do with myself. The things that I managed to do all day every day before are no longer interesting to me. I do a little cooking (made some lovely bread last night) and work on the puzzle or the genealogy, read some emails, do some bookkeeping, but I'm restless and want to do more. I have read some job descriptions that appeal, but am hesitant to go to the trouble of applying. I don't want to end up working more than 30 hours a week, with no time left for other things.
