This has been a "discombobulated" week for me. I was happily surprised to find that it is a real word, meaning confused and disconcerted. (Now, what does disconcerted mean? Unsettled or confused....oh)
I think that is the experience of many people these days. Unsettled is probably the best word. I found myself not able to make decisions on how to invest my time, should I change out of my pajamas, when and what to eat, how to turn off programs, do I really need to clean up my messy house, what day is this? Stuff like that.
So now I am working on combobulating my life.Sunday night, April 26, I stayed up later (or earlier) than I have in many moons...1:30AM PDT. Oh, Ya!
I had a good Sunday; virtual church service, 1 &1/2 hours pulling weeds in my yard. In the evening I watched part of A Knight's Tale (a very entertaining movie) while sorting through a ton of old pictures for my blog and story. Then came the work of finishing the blog and my story. I also had to remedy a technical glitch that erased some photos on the blog. Anyway, I fell into bed at 1:30 AM....almost felt like a night on the town...

Late March and April, I worked on a secret project for granddaughter, Angie. Now I can reveal it since she opened her B-day present recently..a digital album of fun times last autumn, mostly of the Washington coast. Here's a brief virtual tour...
Peace and tranquility as far west as one can stand on land.....

I pride myself on being a good cook and I generally like eating my cooking. BUT...every now and then I come up with a food flop...I had some cooked quinoa (left over from cabbage rolls awhile back) to use. I found a recipe using cabbage, quinoa, sweet red peppers with a peanut butter/soy sauce dressing. To me it wasn't as yummy tasting as it sounded. I did make a few ingredient substitutes. Could be what made it a food flop. Could be part of discombobulation....I made myself eat about half.____________________
The combobulated part of this week was learning how to, and then organizing a family zoom meeting!! Throughout the week I zoom-visited each family individually as I practiced connecting with them.
On Sunday we all had a great almost hour zoom party from west coast to east coast with 3 stops in Wisconsin! I think we all crave connecting with each other and being assured everyone is alright!
Some connected a little later than others....
Kitcat made sure I was learning correctly....
one grandson stayed in bed
some didn't know which way was up...Vancouver and Ocean Beach folks were happy to see others...
Gram G filled in for the White Rabbit....
Gerry was simply beside himself....

Tuesday, Cinco De Mayo....
adventure....
the path not yet taken
pond full of water plants and a few ducks, just after the bend. It was a fun trek, though I was a bit leery of coyotes in that area. 
a Cinco de Mayo party for 3, with taco dip and corn chips...I had to study this cartoon that my daughter-in-law sent out...it is very punny....
I hope your week has been combobulated!
This has been a good GeoGram week in the life of Gram G.
