Charmion, it sounds like moving to a larger city will help as far as health care access, though I hope the air quality there is as good as the smaller town.

A holiday weekend wouldn't normally make a difference to a retiree, but with a part-time job I have the weekend off (the gardener's radio show tomorrow will be a repeat so I don't need to do any setup for it.) I'm doing some self-care stuff this weekend. Today has been to clear the surfaces in the kitchen to stop scolding myself about the clutter. Changing bed linens, laundry, sweeping and vacuuming. Tomorrow I am going to a friend's house to help as she prepares to move out of state. I'll be painting the baseboards and trim in the room she's working on right now, and she has some more stuff to donate to the place that collects art supplies for teachers. I made an appointment to take donations to them next week on Friday with the plan to collect stuff from friends to take along. She apparently has some nice paper that didn't sell (I should ask my daughter if she's interested in buying it from Sara before donating it. My daughter is into binding books and her spouse does calligraphy - paper is a big deal for them.)

Part of the clearing was packing up stuff I've saved for people. I have a couple of boxes ready to ship; they'll go on the porch on Tuesday morning since the mail carrier has already been through the neighborhood today.

Monday is Memorial Day and is wide open, but is liable to be about gardening or spending some time sewing (one or the other, depending on if the predicted rain arrives or not).
