Well we are beginning to thaw out in Oklahoma. We were above freezing yesterday by only 3 degrees but we got up to 40 today and the snow is melting. We were so lucky compared to our Texas neighbors. Not nearly as many people lost power here but then Oklahoma didn't deregulate their energy grid. We were able to buy from other states which kept us going. I've been amazed at how Texas Republicans are blaming everybody from the Easter bunny to Santa Claus but mostly Biden and AOC for their problems. The federal government isn't moving fast enough says the state that is always wanting to secede from the union. Anyway I wouldn't wish what they've gone through on my worse enemy.
Mike didn't pretty good through the arctic blast but he's been a little wack-a-doodle the last few days. I think his meds were cut just a smidge too much. We missed the sweet spot. Guess we will talk to his psychiatrist again. Also his hand tremble is back since he stopped the buspirone. The shaking is a side effect of Risperdal. Everything has side effects and you just have to decide which is worse.
We got to visit with my daughters Thursday for a little while. We didn't wear masks but maintained distance. It felt almost normal. I'm looking forward to them getting their second dose of vaccine and hopefully soon we will be able to get together more often.
Our schools are still closed due to the weather. Going into the third week. A lot of the schools suffered damage from the storm. A lot of broken water lines. They will do remote learning Monday and that will allow teachers to get vaccinated. A vaccination clinic is being held and they plan to vaccinate about 7,000 Monday. All of this will make it safer for in person learning. It's what I've been praying for this past year.
Here is to warmer, safer days ahead!!

My wish would be that there was a whole lot more compassion for the suffering of others, especially from those in leadership positions.
