The lovely lady has returned from a weekend jaunt to Clearwater, FL with our daughter. It was our gift to her for her big 40TH BIRTHDAY!!! They flew down Friday morning and flew back yesterday early morning. I think they had a nice relaxing time.
I don’t know the name of the hotel where they stayed but apparently it had a decent restaurant in it, a nice pool along the shore, and she said the room was fine. There was no sandy beach right in front of the hotel, but they could walk to a beach with chairs and umbrellas, and the one day they drove about 5 minutes to a quieter beach area. I guess it did rain a bit each afternoon, but they were happy enough overall.
I am currently writing this on the iPad from the waiting area at an eye surgery center in downtown Fort Wayne. A friend called yesterday afternoon and asked if I could accompany him. He’s having cataract surgery and needs someone to bring him, stay for the 3-5 hour procedure, and take him home.
I appreciated that he felt comfortable calling me, and that I was able to do it. I’d actually done this for a parishioner when I was pastoring, and it made me feel like I was doing that again for a few hours.
This place though… It’s an old building, and the waiting area is old and cramped… and you can hear EVERYTHING going on - from the nurses and doctors talking to each other, to patient/provider conversations. It’s a bit weird.
Now I’m going to see if I can find a bathroom somewhere.
