I Was Late

Today I hung out around my temporary home. After lunch I walked 4 miles in time to be home for a zoom meeting at 4 p.m. I wanted to be there on time because I completely forgot the meeting 15 days ago which meant I wasted the time of 5 students at UMD. I signed up to be a community teacher again this year. This time I have 2 women and 3 men. One going into pharmacy, 3 going into med school, and one a occupational therapy student at Saint Scholastica. My computer refused to update the Zoom app and after ten minutes of trying, I connected with one of the women on WhatsApp on my phone. She asked me if I was at the gym. I said I was outside my RV and I held the phone so they could see the RV and the yard and my yellow car. We spoke for an hour. I think we all had a good time. I was a little nervous about sharing my private health history outside but I doubt anyone heard me. The pair of mockingbirds flying in front of me was a bit distracting though. We will meet again in January. One student asked me where I will be. I said I just texted my girlfriend asking if she wanted to drive to northern California and see the giant sequoia trees. We will see how it goes.
