What’s in a name? A lot! Help us find a new one for our game!!

We just got some great feedback from a friend regarding the name of our game: M. D. Fun Bingo. She pointed out that lots of care providers are not MDs β€” and that maybe we’d want to reflect that in the name of our game. Yes! We do!

MDFUN-name-heart-stethoscopeI spend at least as much time with nurses, PAs, lab techs, schedulers, and other people on my care team as I do with my docs. And we want our game to be inclusive and accessible for as many people (patients and care providers) as possible. Thank you for that comment,Β Maria!

We would love to hear your thoughts about this. What ideas do you have for name alternatives? Let us know in the comments here or email me at diana@seriously-happy.com.

Please and thank you!

Appreciations 2/28 – 3/4: fantastic friends, noble neighbors, phenomenal people and more! An alliterative list of amazing awesomeness.

Awesome Anne – who saved me from having my car towed during snow emergency #2 AND who even helped me scrape my windows!

Wonderful Work-buddy, Ellis – who made getting things done SO much easier and more fun! 😁

Really Good Race Group – whose insightful, vulnerable, thought-provoking discussions are upsetting, comforting, and relational. I’m so fortunate to be part of this group of wise and wonderful women.

Canasta & Coffee with my bestie-roomie Sarah! My favorite way to start a weekend!! ❀️

Snow-melting Sunshine (and 40º temps) so many days in a row. Swell! 🌞

Super Sweet Snail mail with Wonder Woman stamp! All y’all who’ve been sending me mail are making my days so much brighter and more fun! Thank you!!

We are so excited to get our first run of “basic” cards printed so we can start adding other versions of the cards for people in special circumstances!

Thank you for supporting us and for spreading the word. We appreciate you!

Snow in MN and MT – is there a difference?

According to one local care provider, there is! One of ourΒ M. D. Fun BingoΒ card testers was “learning an interesting fact about someone” β€” her doc β€” who told her about growing up in Montana and that the snow there is different from the snow here in MN. It’s amazing how doing the little activities on these bingo cards can make a routine appointment so much more personal and fun!

Dinner and Canasta with the Delaneys and Sarah.

A week with no doctor appointments!

More wonderful snail mail. Thank you Mark & Cheyenne. Your cards brightened my day so much!! 😊

Crowded bakeries…which result in an impromptu visit and games with Katie & Cina. 😁

All the different smile emojis…. although I now see that I want one like these but tilted to the right…. πŸ€£πŸ˜†

The pure joy of living with Sarah and Mckenzie and Ida. Every day holds some new wonderful. 🀩

Swing. Inside. The. House!

 

A couple days of Ida care. It’s such a treat to get to spend whole days together! 🧑🧑🧑 Plus it gives me a good reason to make food creatures. πŸ˜‹

The excitement I felt the morning we launched our M. D. Fun Bingo Kickstarter. I woke up before 5 am like a little kid on Christmas morning! πŸŽ„ Got this gorgeous pic of our front yard ice palace.

5 am igloo

 

More fun with snow.

Appreciations 2/14-2/16: All the other little things.

Snail mail. OMG you people are wonderful. Your incredibly thoughtful, adorable, and funny cards and letters have brightened my days so much. Thank you!!

Snail Mail 2:15:18

Games with my bestie-roomies. Our games of canasta, Hisss, Go Nuts for Donuts, Evolution, Carcassonne made the tough spots so much better. Looking forward to playing Pandemic and Sushi Go this weekend!!

Igloo sculpture by Mckenzie! So much fun to watch it grow day by day. So pretty with the sun coming through it. Awesome!

Also, Mckenzie’s fashion sense when all his jeans without holes in the knees are in the wash. This is the next new thing, I’m sure of it. Kneewarmers!

Thriving baby cactus bud. You guys! It’ so cute. And soft!!

The hilarious dance party our light does in the evening when it can’t decide if it’s dark or light. Party!

 

Appreciations 2/4-2/14. All the little things that matter.

Rather than start the day reading news (which I did yesterday and which made the day a struggle to get through), I am starting today with appreciations. Phew! This is a much better approach for me! 😊

Quiet family Friday at home complete with games and delicious Holy Land food. Perfect way to balance out the challenging week we had.

Sweet Saturday with Ruby and Ida. Some people call it babysitting. I call it time-to-fill-up-Nana’s-heart-with-love-and-joy. You know, in that way I have of giving things short and witty names. πŸ˜‰

Dinner and Olympics with my lovely framily. (I just made that up!!) Sarah, you rocked that dinner. SO delicious!! And it was so fun to have you with us, Katie and Terri!

3-way phone calls! So wonderful to talk with my ferociously funny and wonderfully wise cousins, Libby and Debb!

Coffee with Melanie. It was supremely satisfying to laugh, cry, and connect with my darling niece! πŸ’™

Ida Monday! Oh, we had so much fun together. My favorite quote of the day: “Nana, you’re just like mama.” OMG. Highest. Praise. Ever.

Adulting made easier, thanks to Sarah! Good meeting with the estate attorney. It’s a relief to be getting stuff set up (even though I still plan to live forever).😁

Spending time with Suzanne, who didn’t mind that instead of going to a coffee shop, we went to my dr. appointments and to the pharmacy. Now that’s what I call friendship! Love you, Suz!
