I have completed sixty-two (62) weeks of semi- “lock down” due to Covid-19. This past week was a bit crazy. I had a busy Tuesday with an EKG, haircut, bank trip, and trip to History Center. Wednesday, a trip to the ER. On Thursday, phenology, and Friday a treadmill test and then to Sloat Garden Center. Other than that, stayed home, measuring blood pressure three times a day.

Genealogists are great at documenting our ancestors’ lives but not so great documenting our own. I’ll write about what I’ve been doing the past week. This idea came from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing, who started this meme.
