Now that I'm vaccinated I probably can stop logging all these little errands and such. So here's the activities list for what I hope is the last time:
5/3 Verizon store for new Smartphone
5/4 Mah Jongg
5/11 Mah Jongg; Mazzicato Bakery (Middletown): Library
5/18 Mah Jongg; brief walk downtown.
5/25 Picnic; Library
Weather has been cold and rainy so I haven't been out and about as much as I'd like but I've had plenty of time to read some really good books this month. (Nice to be able to browse in the library again!)
