Mom’s seniors home is now in “green”, so they now allow limited visits with up to 5 people. Outside. In winter. So, she scheduled an appointment to reserve Visiting Area #2, and I stopped by to see her. She got really cold, so she had to head back inside after 15 minutes.

🗓️ Focus for next week
- LTAC meeting, with an activity to help prioritize the work of my team based on feedback from the committee.
