Recently, I had a little scare for the first time in all this madness — possible COVID contact.

Last week I wrote about my back pain, and I’m happy to report I feel much better now thanks to Dr. Katie at Vitality Holistic Wellness in Roanoke Rapids.

I know I have shared these photos before, but I am sharing these old photos of mine again.

I’ve written recently about trying to get healthier and I am continuing on that mission — still drinking my gallon of water a day and walking every afternoon when possible.

Now that pretty days are more often than less, people are enjoying the outside more frequently, including me.

Wednesday morning I had my three-month appointment with my doctor, Sarah Massey.

As I drove to work Thursday morning, I took in the ice-covered trees while driving down Roanoke Avenue. The white trees were very pretty.

Sometimes I enjoy sharing, what I think, are great food finds.

Every weekend edition of The Daily Herald, we feature a Pet of the Week from Rainbow Animal Rescue.

It began at the beginning of the week — weather folks talking about the possibility of snow. Sometimes I think the weather report is definitely a hit or miss.

Yesterday morning, my fiance Henry Beale arrived early at Halifax Community College to line up a COVID-19 vaccination for his mother.

I’m once again trying to put myself and my health first — not an easy task, especially since I still have leftover Christmas stocking candy calling my name on a daily basis.

My fiance, Henry, will probably hate me for this because he hates when I mention him in my column.

I have been waiting for months, and it finally happened on Wednesday.
