Week 18

Welcome back!  The last couple week's have been overly booked for me so I am running behind on this blog and trying to play catch up.

Here are the pictures from the last week in April and the start of May:

Day 118- Monday, 4/28/25

 

There is a lot of planning  and hard work going on in this little cubicle right here. This side is nice and tidy while the other side is a complete mess so when I need to clear my head and take a breath I turn this way to help me refocus and remember why I do what I do.  In other news John had his final physical therapy session at SCI-FIT today.  From now on he'll work on his own at our local rec center to continue to stay strong and healthy.

Day 119- Tuesday, 4/29/25

With so much going on this week I have a few really LONG work days coming up so I decided to skip making this day long as well by passing on puppy class tonight.  We still went out for a really nice walk and practiced her sitting and being patient with distractions but didn't have to rush to head out or deal with getting back super late after a long drive.  It was the right decision for sure because something just had give this week.

Day 120- Wednesday, 4/30/25

Day 1 of our Annual OHI system-wide meeting.  It was really great to see and hear about all the amazing work we and also our collaborators currently have going on and coming up for future efforts--very inspiring.  Later we had a fun showcase fair followed by a cocktail hour to end the day.  We started at 8:30 am and finished the day around 7pm.

Day 121- Thursday, 5/1/25

OHI Annual meeting day 2 was thankfully only a 1/2 day and was basically just working groups on how we can sustain our efforts in the given economic climate.  Not nearly as inspiring or fun as yesterday so no picture of that--LOL!  But today is also May 1st so welcome to a new month and also Justin headed out on the train so he can attend "ideaFest" at Cal Poly Humboldt and visit his friends for a nice extended weekend.

Day 122- Friday, 5/2/25

Justin is having a grand time in Humboldt.  He really does love it there and is working on a plan to maybe move back and live there for good providing he can find work.  Meanwhile back at home John and I streamed this new release movie.  The 1st one was better--this one was a bit far fetched but gorgeous location and scenery

Day 123- Saturday, 5/3/25

John may be finished with sessions at SCI-FIT but we still attended one last event which was super fun.  Since the Kentucky Derby happened today it seemed only fitting that the for this fundraiser was Derby Day. Everyone dressed accordingly, listened to some great speakers, ate a wonderful dinner, and participated in some fun auctions.  We won 2 gift baskets--one for our dog Bailey filled with toys and pet essentials plus one for us--a picnic style backpack filled with food and tickets to ride the Skunk Train.

Day 124- Sunday, 5/4/25

What a week! And today I try to catch up on chores and relax with my cat who is great at forcing me to just chill.

 Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I'll have the next week up soon.
