Kudos to the Goodenough Psychiatrist for Blog Post “The Perfect Balance”
I almost never write more than one post a day, but I’m pretty impressed with the blog post “The Perfect Balance” by The Goodenough Psychiatrist.

At the hospital where I work, face shields are preferred over medical grade masks, mainly because they keep you from touching your face. We now wear face masks and shields, according to CDC guidelines. We got a couple of face shields through Amazon. It’s a kit you have to put together. I wish I had…

Gerber Daisies
Just a short post on the Gerbera Daisy (common name Gerber). Sena planted it in our garden recently and it is firetruck red. They symbolize innocence, purity, and, most of all, cheerfulness. When I need a little cheering up, I just look at the Gerber Daisies.

Don’t Panic
Well, this is not the usual post. It’s just a message that I’ve been watching the Iowa severe weather reports. I’ve just come up from the basement because the Tornado Warning for our area has expired. Don’t panic. Now it’s just a severe thunderstorm warning with the possibility for 60 mph wind–nothing really.
