1. The Wednesday
Hodgepodge landing on Groundhog's Day sounds about right. Besides the
Hodgepodge what else lands on your calendar just once a week? Is it as much fun as the
Hodgepodge-ha!?
Well, I have RCIA
(the class people take to learn more about Catholicism-I’m a team member) on
Wednesdays and choir practice at church on Thursdays. Choir practice is usually
a lot of fun, so I’d say it outweighs the Hodgepodge!
2. The Winter
Olympics begin on Friday, surrounded by much controversy. Will you be watching?
Why or why not? Have you ever been to China?
I usually like to
watch the opening ceremony and a few events. I haven’t thought about watching
it, but maybe I will just to support the US athletes. Not that they know or
care! I’ve never been to China and really have no desire to go.
3. Something in
your life lately that has felt a bit like an 'olympic event'?
Life.
4. Do you like
fondue? Sweet or savory? Restaurant only or do you own your own fondue set?
I’ve never had
fondue but I’ll go out on a limb and say that I’d prefer sweet.

6. Insert your own
random thought here.
Explanation
of “one full week” in #5: The school
system where I work was only in session for 1 full week in January because of the weather and a
shortage of teachers due to illness. 1
week we were only there 1 day: we started out the week with bad weather, went
in on Wed. and then we were out the last 2 days because of illness. That’s the
week I was sick. I never was fatigued; I thought I had a bad cold that turned
into strep. I broke down the next Tues. and went to the clinic for a strep test
but it was negative (tonsillitis). The nurse practitioner said she was fine
testing me for COVID or not testing since I was outside of the 5 day isolation
period. (that was day 7) I opted to not be tested. When I went to my regular
doctor yesterday she told me that she thought I had it. So did I or didn’t I?
Does it really even matter?
