Hello everyone!
I hope you guys are all doing well. It has been a busy, but productive week. We have more significant milestones ahead of us next week. The first couple of photos (and comments for each) in the album link I posed earlier have details if you are interested. A few of you have checked in and have deposited comments and photos, and we really appreciate that.
I have enjoyed four Minnesota Nice shaves with my birth year Slim, my 30 DC LE brush, and Tabac soap (the manly stuff). Post-shaves 'round these parts have to be unscented, so I'm using either Stirling Unscented Body Lotion and/or USB. I also brought a puck of Mike's Hungarian Lavender that will eventually get used here.
The weather here in Rochester has been wonderful. We had a slight hint of humidity on Tuesday. We had goosebumps, but the locals were sweltering.
Mayo Clinic is staffed with some of the most knowledgeable and kind medical professionals that we've ever met. We are truly blessed and humbled to be here. Many of the businesses are still closed, but the downtown area still has plenty to see. We try to get out for a several walks a day. We decided to order Italian takeout tomorrow. This will be our first restaurant meal since March 11. We are celebrating a transplant "victory" with some new friends we made here, so that will be fun. And, yes, we have ice cream in the freezer.
Face masks, hand sanitizer, hand washing, and social distancing is a thing here. We don't wear face masks in our room, but they are required most everywhere else. We initially had some reservations about making the trip during the pandemic, but it's actually a relief to be out again.
I'll jump back in a little more often after the next couple of weeks. Until then, you might see me peeking around the corner and sneaking a cookie every so often.
Be good, y'all.
