Done Since 2021-05-09

Was it a week? It seemed to go by very quickly. Colleen's care team at UW was very good about keeping us updated. She had some unexpected setbacks Thursday, so she's still at UW. But they also started allowing visitors on Thursday -- N took the first visit because I wasn't up for the drive down. I did visit Friday and Saturday, spending the night in between in Seattle. None of that was particularly good for my back.

Unless something else goes wrong, we're expecting to have Colleen back on the island tomorrow afternoon, in the SNF formerly known as "Careage" (and now called Regency Coupeville). Their policy for indoor visits is very restrictive, but they allow more frequent outdoor visits; hopefully they're sheltered because the weather through Wednesday looks a bit dicey.

$writing-project was stalled, except for an hour or so yesterday. Focus? Isn't that something for cameras? I did get a few smaller tasks done, including resurrecting Mom's iMac and iPad. Did very little on those besides scanning the iMac for files of possible interest.

There are medical details in the notes, so you might want to skip them again this week if you find such things triggery. However, you might like: Scientists Have Studied the Mysterious Behavior of Cats Sitting on Squares (it seems that cats not only like to sit in boxes, they sit on squares drawn on the floor, and even on optical illusions that look like squares) and J. Haydn: Symphony No. 60 "Il Distratto" | Giovanni Antonini | Il Giardino Armonico (Haydn2032 live) - YouTube (by way of madfilkentist). The thing I really like about that performance is the way the musicians look like they're up to no good.
