Sharing the wealth -
What are they teaching in schools?Good news on his progress and that his mental acuity is pretty darn good. It’s a marathon. How are you holding up? I’m always concerned with the caregivers.
Thanks for thinking of me! I'm doing well. Everything is manageable at this point. Mr wtg is getting stronger so helping him transfer between his wheelchair and recliner is less taxing physically than it was. Plus I'm in better shape! It also helps that I'm a planner and have previous experience with caregiving. I just figure out how to play the cards we've been dealt. It would be much harder if we still had a dog or had other responsibilities. We met a man who was in acute rehab at the same time Mr wtg was there. The guy and his wife in their early 60s and both still working. Just bought a new house in January. I'm not sure she's prepared for what to do when he comes home. I also find it easier to deal with Mr wtg's physical limitations; taking care of my Mom who had dementia was much more challenging, emotionally at least.
We've always been homebodies, so having to stay close to home a lot isn't that difficult. I plan a lot around his day rehab so I can do shopping and errands. And we have a couple of people who can come over and stay with him if I have to go out. The garden is my refuge.
When things seem a bit overwhelming, I remember this:

Crowdfunding Spirit back to life?Once Hunter Peterson heard Spirit would close on May 2 — after attempts to merge with other airlines or get a lifeline from the federal government — the 22-year-old voice actor and content creator posted on social media that day with an idea to revive the airline.
If a fifth of Americans each pitched in $45, (the equivalent of a cheap Spirit flight) “we could buy Spirit Airlines,” he said.
His initial pitch was to run the airline like the Green Bay Packers, the only publicly owned team in the NFL. It has more than 5 million shares split among more than 530,000 owners. His joke, however, became a call to action. Peterson is not taking actual cash, but he has rallied $337 million in pledges from more than 370,000 verified people, his website says.

Bugscrolling - what's buzzing/chewing/biting in your neighborhood?Did you actually rid your body of it? My poor sister got it and never could get rid of it.
It's been seven years and haven't had any problems. I recognized what it was pretty early on and got antibiotics pronto. I also have a pretty hardy immune system. The blood tests they did to confirm Lyme showed a very robust immune reponse. I know it hits some people really hard but thankfully I don't seem to be one of them.

Prediction of a super El NinoSeasonal models are predicting an El Nino climate pattern that could be the strongest on record, bringing with it more extreme weather.
“I think we’re going to see weather events that we’ve never seen in modern history before,” WFLA-TV Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist Jeff Berardelli, in Tampa, Florida, said Friday.
An El Nino event is expected to develop from the middle of this year, impacting global temperature and rainfall patterns, according to the World Meteorological Organization. While the models indicate that this may be a strong event, the WMO cautioned that the models also have a harder time making accurate forecasts in the spring.

Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?@AdagioM The stems on mine got longer, so they are dancing well above the foliage.
I do love the way they look and they seem to be both disease- and rabbit-resistant. However, as you've noted in the past, they do tend to invade the garden. I cleaned out an area of "volunteers" a couple of years ago. And I started deadheading the remaining plants to prevent the seeds from forming and re-populating the garden.
Seems to be working.
