Neither Punxsutawney Phil nor Jimmy the Groundhog saw their shadows today, so they’re predicting an early spring. But we haven’t even really had winter yet. Remember it was 50° and misty and rainy on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and we did have a few bits of snow here and there. Then we had the big … [Read more…]
Tuesday began the transition from cookie season to holiday season. It was the first day in weeks when I didn’t eat a single cookie … well, except for 2 pieces of the layered white chocolate peppermint bark. But that can almost be considered a refresher rather than a cookie. Instead I ate too much of … [Read more…]
This is a real catch up one – it’s Wednesday actually editing and adding on Thursday, and I haven’t posted since Monday a week ago. I think the key elements of my life the past 10 days are babies, kittens and human. Also the Friends of UW-Libraries book sale, one of my volunteer gigs, and … [Read more…]
I started writing this last Wednesday (it’s Saturday now, actually continued on this Sunday, and it’s Monday now) and it was going to be titled “a week (or so) back from TIFF”. But as usual time has escaped me, so I’m going to work on the last 10 days or so that have gone by … [Read more…]
My knee is still broken. The follow up MRI I had last Tuesday showed my knee fracture is not healed. I got the results Tuesday night in UWHealth MyChart – since the MRI was a referral from Group Heath, GHC, to UWHealth, then I got the results again from GHC Wednesday morning. I waited until … [Read more…]
Feeling so behind and not sure where to start … Looks like I last posted on March 25 – that was the Saturday we got a foot of snow between something like 2:00am and 11:00am, and I went off to work at the early voting during it. We were in this really nice back room … [Read more…]
Happy 83rd birthday, Phil Lesh. We went to Chicago Sunday to see Phil & Friends at the Salt Shed, a new venue that recycled the old Morton Salt building. I guess it was starting to fall down so good thing – a wall collapsed in 2016 and an avalanche of salt covered up some of … [Read more…]
Friday we went to Chicago to see the symphony and have dinner with John & Megan. I’m still on crutches for walking outdoors, even though I don’t need them in the house right now, so we took a lot of Lyfts. I thought we might take the L more, but everyone’s saying it’s filthy and … [Read more…]
Well, let’s make that the last day of 2022; I started this the 30th and didn’t get very far. My plan was that me and my bum knee would accompany Mark on his walk – that went OK, 4.5 miles. I walked sans orthotics, since I have not been wearing them for about the last … [Read more…]
I started writing this last week, when it was still September, the 28th to be precise, Wednesday, and that was the Wednesday after the Tuesday when the exercises & stretches the PT gave me for my bum knee and calf cramps started to feel like they were working instead of just making me cry. And … [Read more…]
