February 20

 The temperature yesterday warmed up nicely. Today might follow that pattern. It is sunny and just a bit after sunrise. We had a couple of errands yesterday. Mom had to get her blood work done to prepare for her appointment with her doctor next week. Then all of a sudden my computer wasn't charging. It took a while going through all of the components from the wall plug through to the computer to find what part was to blame. I had to replace the chord--again. I did that a week ago last weekend when that cord failed. At least everything is working again. We got started late and hadn't had breakfast so we decided to go to our favorite restaurant for breakfast which turned into a lunch instead. That restaurant has always been busy but yesterday it was crazy. The poor waitresses needed roller skates.

We don't go out to eat much any more. Since everything reopened after the pandemic most of our old favorites had drastically changed their menus eliminating our favorites and drastically raised prices. Too little enjoyment for the money. The one we went to yesterday has kept the same menu and hasn't raised prices outrageously.

England is experiencing a surge in measles cases that goes along with increasing vaccine skepticism. The Guardian reports that measles isn't the only once controlled disease making a comeback. Cases of Ricketts, scurvy, and scabies have also increased lately.
