Trees Down Today I had an obstacle course for my morning run. It's been a week since the ice storm in Portland, but there's still a lot of clean up needed. Afternoon Errand In the afternoon Don and I ran an errand for the new parents. Our drive that should have been 30 minutes, took an hour and a half. This was the scene everywhere. So many people in Portland are without power after a week. Trees and power lines! It's a mess. Texas But Texas is much worse. We've been communicating with friends back home, where hundreds of thousands have been without power. It's odd to be in Oregon, watching our home area on National News. It was also odd to see Ted Cruz, all over the news. Yesterday, he decided to escape the crisis and flew his family from Houston to Cancun. This didn't go over to well. Escaping the Airbnb Luckily Don and I dealt with less than 24 hours without power last week. Our Airbnb is warm and cozy now, but we were happy to escape our little rental, to visit our new granddaughter! There's nothing more rewarding than watching your own daughter, holding her own daughter. And there's nothing sweeter than watching her dad, feed his first grandbaby. Sleep And then there was sleep. Charlotte slept. And Josie slept above. Champagne and Sushi Then the adults had a little treat. After 9 months, Heidi is finally able to indulge in a couple things that she has avoided during pregnancy. Nigiri Sushi and champagne... PINK of course!
Cheers to the new little family. Cheers to cozy homes with power and water!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
