So we're done with the holidays and they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Very quiet and I will confess a bit lonely but Zoom and Facetime helped. I cooked! I know - not my thing but what else did I have to do, eh?
Life is continuing on. Staying safe, wearing our masks and exercising.
And . . . I bought a ukulele! Facing a winter in MI (not going to FL this year) and not really making beads at this time, what was I to do?
My brother-in-law, John, took up the uke and I started researching on YouTube. Yup, I think I can handle that. I really missed singing and I suck at acapella so I went to the music store in downtown Holland and came home with my uke. Her name is Tilly.
It's been 3 weeks now and I'm killing "You Are My Sunshine" and working hard on "King of the Road." My fingertips are a little sore but I'm having fun. Even Petey has started to sing along.
Petey and I have both had our first vaccinations. Next ones are scheduled for 2/6 and 2/18. I'm a little ahead of him since I'm classified as essential - working in the medical field.
Our lives haven't been changed a tremendous amount with this virus except we're missing dining in at our local restaurants. We've been understanding and trying to exercise patience - not my strong suit.
"This too shall pass." I've heard that phrase a million times this past year. I'll admit I'm a little tired of it but it's all we have so we'll hang in there.
May you all be healthy. May you all be safe.
