It's February, It's cold.

It's cold from the the middle of the country to the east coast.  Crazy snow & ice related pileups make nationwide news.

But I'm in a t-shirt in California.  It's in the 60's.  Too cold for outdoor dining, indoor dining is not allowed yet.  Too cold to work on my yards.  The damn bougainvillea is climbing over the block wall again.  It's just my house, nobody else has HOA plants coming into their space to maintain.  I've been wasting my weekends for all the stuff I still want to do in my yards.  I can't get the gate guy to call me back to start the job.  Mom's apartment furniture is in the back yard deteriorating as fast as she is.  I can only visit for 15 minutes once a week, but at least I can see her regularly.

A month ago, my uncle (mom's brother, 3 years younger) and his wife got COVID.  My cousin (his daughter) brought them to her house to recover but the wife was having breathing problems so she ended up in ER a couple times.  Then cousin got COVID from caring for them.  She's the only one in the house who is working, but she's back to work again.  Uncle & wifey have accepted cousin's offer to move to her house.  His plan was to permanently move to Philippines by now but COVID put a huge kink in his plans.
