(not necessarily in that order)
I parked for my appointment this morning at Sierra Family Health Center and did a double-take as I got out of the car.
What I see is a miniature Ent*. What about you?
* Ents are a species of sentient beings in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle-earth who closely resemble trees.
An 8:30 a.m. medical appointment means leaving the house at 7:45. Which means getting up super early, at least for me.
That means keeping today’s blog short and sweet. Good night.
Today was full in a way we haven’t done in quite some time.
We started off first thing this morning with a Sangha meeting (our Ananda outreach ministries version of a monthly staff meeting, which we attended while in Sacramento via Zoom), followed by a few minutes to answer emails before packing up and checking out of the hotel.
Then it was off to my bone marrow transplant follow-up appointment, after which I stopped to get blood drawn for labs.
Then we drove home, where I spent a fair amount of time researching and then scheduling my COVID vaccine “re-do” (it’s not so easy to find primary doses any more, as opposed to boosters).
And, finally, our quartet ran through the entire program for our upcoming Christmas concert.
Everything about the day was lovely, productive, and fun. But I definitely don’t have the energy to write anything particularly meaningful tonight!
