GTD practitioners, what project names have you created as we have fallen into this pandemic? I’ll start, one called “Grow through the pandemic”. You?

With apologies to my regular barber Gene, I still need to keep it high & tight! Mazie and Tyler did the clipper honors today! 💈


My friend Mike Rock has picked up posting on his micro.blog (and Twitter by syndication). If your curious to see and here a bit from a Dr. perspective with Covid-19, give him a follow. Plus expect some great non-medical stuff too.
Lucky at 3 months
Today is Lucky’s 3-month birthday, and the completion of her first week as part of our family. She is reminding us what having a puppy involves! Tammy has been working with her with extreme diligence about going outside for the bathroom. She so far doesn’t seem super excited about treats. The kids absolutely adore her. She is slowly getting used to sleeping in her crate at night. She’s super cute and loves to play a lot. She enjoys walks, although she is very distractible. Not sure how many photos there will be of her being held like this, she’s already 16 lbs!
Candle Making, Take Two
I had a redo of candle making today. I messed up the first attempt. I did the fragrance all wrong and added about 20x more of it than I should have. And to make matters worse, the fragrance I chose made me nauseous and gave me a terrible headache. I had to put the candles outside to feel better. Today I took a knife and cut out all the wax from the vessels, and threw the stinky stuff away. Take two with a different fragrance at a much lower dose! So far they are great. Will light them tomorrow. 🕯
Did a great 45-minute spin class on Peloton today! #FitByFifty
Sitting in our covered porch listening to it rain and thunder is one of my favorite things about spring.

Getting takeout from Tap Society! Delicious cheeseburgers and we need to support our local businesses! 🍔🍔🍔
I’ve “rebooted” my gratitude journal. 🙏 This may seem like the worst time possible to do that, but I suspect that makes it the best time possible.
