Mum did so well on our drive down the Baja back to Casa Azul and the farm...
we left on the 4th with a fully loaded trailer for the 3 day drive…
it's almost a year since her fall and her last long drive down to recovery here, Gail and Les making that journey with us...
She wasn't in a frame of mind to enjoy the scenery then, but she sure did this time.
She coughed some along the way
I developed a headache as La Paz came into view on Thursday, day three…
On Friday her and I both tested positive for that virus that's been stealing so many peoples plans and more!!
How fortunate we were to be quarantined at Casa Azul with peace and tranquility and gorgeous views and the incessant January winds as our companions...
How fortunate we were that mum sailed thro with minimal symptoms, a miracle for sure...
How fortunate we were that Nev never displayed any symptoms at all!!
I got a lot done in between headaches and bouts of tiredness:
New curtains were shortened and hung
New bedding was put on beds throughout
Furniture was painted
The pantry was emptied and reorganized
Yoga was practiced as my body allowed
And there was lots of sweet time with mum...
all of this as I continued thro “dry” January!!!!
Nev escaped to Cabo for a few days fishing with buddies and I was happy for him.
After 10 days we both tested negative!
It felt as though we were being given our "free to be free" pass and it was SO good to be out and about again...
Mum now happily ensconced back at the house with the blue door, as she fondly calls the farm...
me happy to be out in the community again:
at the local farmers market enjoying the sunshine and yummy offerings,
at a spontaneous lunch with friends John and Deb,
cuddling up close to my honey
enjoying a glass of wine!!!
"Life's too short to dance without wine" is my conclusion!!
Very thankful to be feeling well again,
trusting that plans that needs to be rescheduled have changed to timing that's better for us all…
