I haven't posted for a while. I've got excuses...probably all of them wrong!
First I was blown away by the comments on my last post on education. Obviously all of you have been following what's been goin on in education for a long time. You're not just recent followers when much instruction is being done on line. You wonder what will happen next in education.
So thanks for the great comments.
I got my first covid shot yesterday. I could tell that my arm was a bit sore this morning but in an hour or so all soreness was gone.
I have dabbled in family genealogy for four or fine years . I have found it difficult to enter and change information so usually abandon my efforts. Last month I contacted a woman who has been working on our genealogy. I had information and photos to share with her and she sent me off on a search for information. So It was nice to make a little progress on the project.
I've been enjoying some spring like weather. we've had highs above freezing for about ten days which is warm spring weather for here.
So I have some excuses for not posting but I know you won't let me get away with them.
You don't need excuses for not posting. We all need a break once in awhile. I'm happy to hear you got your first Covid shot!
ReplyDeleteI dabble in family genealogy also and find it can be very time consuming, but I do enjoy it. I use Ancestry.com to help with my research but of course sometimes just searching on the internet can help.
I'm glad to hear you are getting some warmer days! I'm so happy Spring is coming!
Sometimes my head goes other places and I'm thinking about other things.
DeleteI am gld to hear you are making progress on the family geneology project. I kinda gave up on mine long ago. I am also glad to hear you got your Covid shot. In BC we are going based on age and since I'm a bit younger, I will not have mine for awhile though exactly sure when. I think spring or summer at latest. The registration process for mass vaccinations opened up last Monday and also goes by age. In other words, certain ages register at certain times. Last but not least the time between vaccines has been extended from 1 month to 4. Other provinces seem to be following suit. Have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWe found the mass registration to be a total failure. We got our shots at a nearby drugstore.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a break from blogging sometimes. I am glad you were able to get the Vaccine, we are still waiting here. Take care, have a happy day and a great new week!
The distribution of vaccine has been a total disaster. Some long term care homes have not been done.
DeleteOur highs have not been above freezing, which I am finding disappointing. We have a few warmer days coming up before we are back to below freezing temperature.
ReplyDeleteOur 10 day forecast looks good. But as one neighbor said today , "Remember those march blizzards?" Yes I do so we should be prepared for a let down.
DeleteMy arm was sore for a day, but it's been a week now and I wouldn't even know I had it. The second one might be a bit different, though. Congratulations on getting your first one, Red! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy arm was sore for a few hours the next day but that's all. we'll just have to suck it up for the second shot.
DeleteShucks Red! You can do what you want dude! - Just like The Micro Manager always says.
ReplyDeleteI think you have that backwards dude!
DeleteReally glad to know you got your first covid shot and that it went well. I got mine on Friday and my arm was sore for two days. I'm just relieved to have gotten it and am waiting for my second on April 2nd. Enjoy those spring temps there, Red.
ReplyDeleteWe will enjoy the spring temperatures but some of our worst storms happen in March.
DeleteCongrats on the shot! Never thought I would be saying that a year ago. What software are you using for your genealogy? I have found some of it to be quite tedious and years ago, gave up with trying to use it on my personal computer. Now I only use free online software which seems much easier to use and I don't have to worry about the future of it.
ReplyDeleteI use family search but I'm not very good at it. I've found another relative to work with so things are going better.
DeleteYou have so much good family history information that you have shared with us! Glad you are able to put it together for future generations.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you got your 1st dose - I got mine last week too and it felt like a huge relief to be started!
Glad to see your post. Looking forward to Spring!
I met another relative on line working on the genealogy so it's nice wot work with someone who knows what they're doing.
DeleteHi Red, You've got some good excuses, but it's always good to see another post on Hiawatha House. Happy to hear you got the first shot! Keep up the good work on genealogy. Hope you and the Micro Manager have a good week. John
ReplyDeleteIt gives one some hope when you get the shot. Our ten day forecast looks pretty good but if you remember in Montana you get some very bad storms in March.
DeleteGood to hear you got the first shot, Red! We hope to join the group in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteI hope the vaccination program improves as far as delivery is concerned.
DeleteHighs above freezing still sounds pretty darn brutal to me!
ReplyDeleteIt's all what you get used to. I would not like to get the rain you do. We get about 12 in of precipitation a year!!!
DeleteCongrats on your vaccination. We're still waiting.
ReplyDeleteI hope they get to you soon. It's a very chaotic system.
DeleteIt has been only a week, Red. Lots of people blog far less often. I was not aware of your ‘blogging break’ at all.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy whatever you choose to write. I may not always agree, but I always enjoy.
Yes, we can disagree as long as we have some information and use some logic. Good vigorous discussion is what keeps us going.
DeleteIt's great that you got your covid jab, we still have to wait for our turn to come up, maybe next month. It's good to take a break from posting just to be able to recharge. Have a wonderful new week!
ReplyDeleteBeing 81 is good for something even if it's only to get a vaccination.
DeleteNo excuses or reasons required. We are just glad when you return.
ReplyDeleteBoth shots in the arm here. We are waiting at least two weeks before we "go wild". Not sure what going wild would look like since that was not our style before Covid, but we may get out a bit more.
Tom is our genealogist. He has been doing research for years, but now with everything digitized, there is so much more information available and he is making a few new connections.
It's an interesting activity. I clicked on something the other day and my son's Las Vegas wedding info came up.
DeleteYeah for a vaccination! Hope the micro manager got hers too! Keep sending Spring this way!
ReplyDeleteWe were both vaccinated. We get a couple of cooler days this week and then it's nice again. But you know that we can get some very bad march blizzards.
DeleteIt’s okay to take a break! We got our first shots on Friday and I find myself feeling elated, even though we won’t really venture forth until two weeks after we have the second dose as the CDC is recommending. But the ... watch out world!
ReplyDeleteWhen you write a post that's fine Red. There are plenty of other things to fill in your day! As for geneology both sides of my family were put together by other people. It's a lot of work and it's not always easy to get accurate facts.
ReplyDeleteAlphie
Good you're back and half vaxed. I know you won't forget to go for the next jab.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect to have vaccinations done before summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so much freedom but a little more sense of security that the vaccination gives us.
ReplyDeletegood to hear you got your first vaccination dear Red!
