Tuesday

I went to my last work meeting today, at least I think it was. It was a department meeting, about 30 people. The new president made an appearance. Because it was my last meeting, I got lots of attention and people said some really kind things about me, more than I deserved. Even the president recognized my contributions. They also sang happy birthday to me. I was relieved and happy that it was over. I didn't realize how anxious these last days were making me. 

It was made clear in the meeting that our group was not expected to be on campus this fall. In fact, you have to sign up for an on-campus appointment and be approved to visit, each time you wish to visit. No one in my department will have on-campus classes. There are other departments and student services personnel that will be required to report to campus, but not everyone from those areas. The leaders are trying to keep the number of persons on campus low.

After the meeting and lunch, we took a walk to the Pinellas Trail and Hammock Park.

Cool mottled bird.

We took Dee Dee to the causeway for her early morning walk. Thankfully, she finally went to the bathroom, a relief for everyone. I've started hand feeding her again because she's not interested in her food bowl. With that new (again) approach, she ate pretty well today. She's a little sluggish.

 

You can see Clearwater in the distance.

 

 

There was another rainbow above the condominiums, even though it didn't rain all day.

 

It warmed up to 80 degrees by the end of our walk, but the humidity was in the low 60s. The breeze was light.

After our morning walk with Dee Dee, we headed out to Honeymoon Island on our bikes so that I could get back to my 11:00 a.m. meeting.
