This weekend has come to an end and the workweek is ahead. For me, I had a rare weekend off with another one coming in a few weeks for my Spring Conference. That will be a long three day weekend which should be a fun and enriching time. We’ll also celebrate our new District Leaders and their new positions for the upcoming year.
I made my visit to Children’s on Saturday and visited Benny, who seems to be coming along very well. We walked around the block and I got to meet the nurses who have been taking good care of Benny during his most recent hospital stay. We had dinner in the cafeteria and then I took off for home around 6:30. Not much went on after I got home and I just took it easy the for the remainder of the evening.
My 2020 series wraps up this week and in a way, I am glad to finish it and leave it where it belongs. Writing about it mirrored my true feelings about 2020 itself. I wasn’t initially phased by the shutdowns and the restrictions in March and April. However, as the year went on, I began to crash emotionally and saw how bad things really were.
If it wasn’t worth remembering, why talk about it? Because I wanted to show how I was handling things differently than everyone else. I was still working even though our jobs were nonessential. My take on 2020 was a little more interesting because I followed local businesses, tried to figure out online meetings via Zoom, and made the best of things. We all had high hopes for the new year in January before it all went to hell. As the year came to an end, I could only hope for a better 2021.
Today was a lazy day and, aside from going to Children’s on Saturday, pretty much a lazy weekend. I watched Wonka on Max and was happy with it. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a very good prequel to the original film. The 1971 version of the movie is better than the 2005 version with Johnny Depp. I give it two thumbs up.
Later this week, I plan to watch Matilda: The Musical on Netflix.
I’m down to the last few chapters in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and have the next book ready to order on Amazon. I also have a timetable of when I will finish the series. I’m looking at being done by the first week of September. I will finish all the movies as well upon completion of the latest book. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is broken into two parts so that will be interesting. The series has shifted more towards the dark side compared to the peaceful beginning in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
This latest book has been a challenge, but I’m happy to finish what I started. Half-Blood Prince is big, but not like the last two. The last one will be just as heavy, but I’m ready for it.
