WEEKEND 

After having written my post, I tidied up my room a bit, then Pauline came to visit, and before I knew it, it was time for lunch. Since the sun was shining so beautifully, I thought I'd try a short walk again. This time it went better, and I was able to complete the route I had planned. Then it was already 3 o'clock, and time for our game.

Unfortunately, there was a staff shortage, and our activity coordinator had to help out on the 4th floor, where the patients who were most severely ill residents. Normally, I take over then, and we play Uno or Bingo. But I didn't feel strong enough to do that, so we sat around a round table, drank coffee, and chatted. That was quite nice, too.

On Sunday it was grey and foggy and I felt very tired. I still have my Christmas decoration laying in a corner but didn't feel strong enough to put them away. Fortunately in the afternoon we had a very nice game and on top Isabel came with Inaja, and as both like to play with us, they stayed the whole afternoon and had quite a lot of fun. That's so nice, visitors are always welcomed and invited to participate with us at the end we all had our coffee and wafels.

And here is some good advice for the coming week:

 You come from dust and you'll return to dust, so that's why ...

  3. It must be quite funny to see cats and dogs in the snow for the first time. Leia is a nice looking dog.

  4. Leia is a beautiful girl. I love her wavy coat. I'm glad you were able to complete your walk. I am not even stepping outside today it is 45C which is 113F and far too hot to be out walking.

  6. Pups are so precious. Kitties are so precious. They bring such joy to our lives.

    Looks like you've had a good weekend. Sometimes we have energy and sometimes we don't. It's the way of things.

    I love the dusting one. So true.

  9. We are so pleased that you completed your walk! But the weather and ill health still plague us all. Spring and summer will put paid to the blues and coughs I am sure. Till then, coffee and chats sounds a wonderful remedy.
