Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. If you look at it quickly, you probably see Mattie holding a hot glue gun and working on a crafts project. But look closer, particularly at his foot! Do you see the rubber roach? Mattie was a character and he would get into whimsical moods and try to scare me and his nurses with his rubber roaches and spiders. I remember one night, around midnight, Mattie attached a huge tarantula to a motorized car. He then had the car visit the nurses at the nursing station. Fortunately they had a sense of humor and truly played along with Mattie's antics.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 28,119,533
- Number of people who died from the virus: 498,514
The rest of the day I focused on Foundation tasks. As our February newsletter is now scheduled to go out tomorrow, along with social media updates all week. Then I tried to tackle our Combined Federal Campaign (CFC, it is like the government's version of the United Way) application for this year.
But it is hard to believe we are in February, as I feel behind in plans for the annual Walk in May. It is a strange concept to plan a Virtual walk. Certainly 2020 showed me it is possible to host such an event, but it is hard to figure everything out during a pandemic. Such as what do you raffle off? Our typical dining, traveling, and event packages are inappropriate, so what else is left? Honestly if you have ideas, let me know!

I have seen lots of facebook posts this year of people doing jigsaw puzzles. Maybe a jigsaw puzzle basket?
