It has been a rough week, but we regret to inform you it’s going to get a whole lot worse. Week one of DonOld has been bad, worse than I had expected. I feel that I need to exfoliate myself into nonexistence. It is going to be a long four years.

Ending up in the hospital Thursday night did not help. Today, it thawed enough that we could walk outside for a change. We visited the garden, where the paths have been plowed.
