Stormy weather today. I started at the gym this morning, knowing I'd spend the afternoon in music class. My guitar tutor was impressed by my diligence, though rather less so by the state of my fingernails – they were so sore and ragged from plucking, I thought they might come off! Clearly, I have overdone the plunking lately. Meanwhile, MeeMaw and Mom enjoyed themselves at a nearby cafe. We truly are blessed. Defying doctors’ predictions, MeeMaw has not only survived this long but improves daily thanks to her medication. My prayers were answered!
