Introduction
I have another article on “poly-ticks” in my mind. I have been doing research. Please wait for it. Until then, this is a “life, such as it is,” update.
Today was at least “interesting.” Enjoy the ride!
The “Fun”
Mrs. Appalachian Irishman is continuing her daily routine to and from work. My work schedule is from home on Monday through Wednesday and at the office on Thursday and Friday. We are surviving.
Today, while working from home, a neighbor rang the doorbell. I was in a monthly meeting, which was wasting my time. These meetings are boring. I'm used to them. I was in the meeting by phone, as was everyone else, in this “new normal.” Our neighbor offered to mow our yard, which needs mowing. I told him with the phone meeting muted that I would call him later. I did.
Afterward, our “mower guy” (i.e., LTD Lawn Service) and his crew arrived, as I knew they would, to mow for the first mowing of the season. They also mowed two neighbors' yards while in the area. If you need yard mowing services, especially in east Knox County, Tennessee, you will do no better than to call my “mower guy.” His previously referenced website has his contact information.
My father-in-law turned 83 today. After working from home, I called him. I have not seen him since 7/18/2020, my wife's birthday, due to “the new normal” and whatever the “mask mafia” dictates. He is getting along well enough. For my father-in-law, Mrs. Appalachian Irishman (his eldest daughter), her two sisters, and our niece (the daughter of my “favorite sister-in-law”) had no plans. At 5:44 PM, I heard the garage door open. My wife was home from her father's “new normal” birthday celebration, such as it was.
Well, at the Fearghail house here, the usual routine will continue, such as it is. I'll keep writing as you keep reading!
Conclusion
I have a dear friend. Her husband is currently in a similar situation at the second hospital, in which I was, back in 2016. May God bless her husband's recovery! It takes time. God will not now heal miraculously, unless he does rarely. Recovery takes time and stubborn determination. I have been experiencing it.
By the way, since this Appalachian Irishman enjoys finishing with a humorous note, today, we received a State of Tennessee, Department of Revenue, Notice of Motor Vehicle Registration Renewal. It was a little postcard in the mailbox. On 3/6/2021, these folks emailed to remind me that the annual renewal tag for our 2008 Honda Civic was due. I paid them the same day and received the tag quickly by mail. I already had the 2022 tag on the car! When will the State of Tennessee ever get its head out of its backside?
Supper is ready. Let's eat! Y'all keep turnin' right and goin' straight out there! The straight course will lead us everlastingly home, but not yet today.
