Today 30July2023

It is already late, and I wrote a blog this morning. I will just cover the good bits.

I managed to find my way to Susie in Air Volvo before 1PM. This time we stayed in for the early afternoon. We called Leta (Susie’s mother) and Barb (Susie’s sister) after Susie was comfortably in bed to watch a movie with me. We did a three-way call on FaceTime with my iPhone. We hooked up with Emma (Barb’s daughter) as Barb was driving Emma back to her place. Barb and family (plus Emma’s new man in her life) had taken Leta out to lunch after church for Leta’s 95th birthday. Leta also had a cake after church in Lansing, Michigan–Grace United Methodist.

Next, we selected The Transporter with Jason Statham for the afternoon entertainment. Susie managed to stay awake for most of it. Anassa, the weekend nursing aide, said Susie ate most she had seen her eat. Excellent. Susie had some coffee as a treat during the movie.

Next, Anassa popped Susie into her wheelchair so we could visit the park. The park was still excellent, under 80F (27C), and we parked at a bench and just watched the folks for a while. The yellow jackets were willing to be waved off today. We enjoyed just relaxing in the park. We did tour the roads and looked at the roses, fruit trees (now loaded with fruit), and the magnolia tree (one big white flower near the base). After that, it was time for me to go. Susie was happy to be placed in the recliner (Louis, the evening nursing aide, did pinch his hand in the recliner–I did not warn him in time; it is tricky).

I found a burger and headed to Cory’s house to play Dungeons and Dragons. My paladin died in the game, sacrificing himself to save a world by blowing up a sun. I brought my replacement character and started to play my Lawful Effective (evil) cleric of war called War. My character War helped rally the people when the shockwave from the blast hit our spaceship and tried to keep them safe. More details cannot be added here, but I started to find my way with the new character. For D&D 5E folks, I enjoyed playing a good paladin and recommend the class. I have not played a cleric in years, so it is something new to try out.

Lunch was sushi at Sushi Hanna in Beaverton. It is a track place, and I had a great lunch there.

Well, I am already getting tired. Please forgive me if I just stop here under 500 words.
