2026 52 Card Project: Week 20: Busy
May. 22nd, 2026 06:03 pmI noted with some bemusement that I had twelve different appointments on my calendar this week.
Some were just for fun: I went to my sister-in-law's retirement party (she has been serving as my financial planner). It was a really lovely event, with an astounding charcuterie spread that stretched along an enormous table--the image I chose didn't come close to capturing the scale. I got together with a friend to watch a movie based on a book we'd both enjoyed as chidren.
I had a doctor's appointment as preparation for a procedure I will be having in a week and a half. I went out to see my mom (I took her to a doctor's appointment today, and I will be going back tomorrow to help her with some personal care.) I had a writing group meeting (fortunately, not so much critiquing was involved with this meeting, as I was the only one who submitted this month, so everyone else was critiquing ME). I had my usual Zoom writing sessions four mornings a week with some of my writing friends, although I was moving so much this week that I didn't make all of them. I kept the balls in the air with the volunteer group I'm running. I purchased a new computer as I'm running out of space on this one (I should be getting delivery tomorrow). I bought stuff for the garden and got at least some of them into the ground. I moved my house plants onto the front porch for the summer.
All in all, I was quite a busy little bee, which is why a bee has shown up in the image.
