A lazy start to a Monday

March 8, 2023 by ds83473@gmail.com

I didn’t get out of bed until 7:30 on Monday and didn’t get logged on to my work computer until almost 11:00. This week in my crutch weaning program, I’m at no crutches in the house and starting short walks of about 5-10 minutes w/o crutches OK on Tuesday. I was going to go back … [Read more…]

The year that somebody else baked Mark’s birthday pie

October 4, 2022 by ds83473@gmail.com

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…]

Twos-day

February 22, 2022 by ds83473@gmail.com

02-22-2022, Mom & Eustace’s actual 97th birthday.   We are having a snow day, due to the threatened ice storm. The schools are closed, the food pantry is closed, and I’m going to work from home. So right now am “working” in my PJs – messing around with this blog post for now, and soon, … [Read more…]

Another week in quarantine

August 22, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

And it’s an undocumented week. I last wrote on Thursday when I was still grading, which I did finish on Sunday and then only had to upload the grades Monday morning. I went for a Covid test on Friday morning, and got the negative results on Saturday, although the University Health Services warns that I … [Read more…]

A break in the heat

July 12, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

At the beginning of this week, most mornings when I first waked up, I didn’t feel quite right. Headachey, stuffed up. I’ve been asking Mark, “The virus, summer cold, the heat?” and he always answers, “The heat”. We’ve been in the midst of real “hotter than July” – highs in the 90s everyday, and humidity, … [Read more…]

There’s nice light in quarantine

April 28, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

I think being home in the daytime results in better lit pictures.

On and on

April 14, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

So lets see, where did we leave off? looks like last Wednesday. I, like everyone else, have been cooking a lot, but un-like myself, have not been taking many pictures of the food. I’ve been invited to two pandemic cooking facebook groups, coronavirus lockdown food show! that I joined, and another one I have not … [Read more…]

Trifle for breakfast

April 8, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

Monday, 3rd, no I guess 4th, week of safer at home. It didn’t feel much like a Monday. I was late getting out for my walk – I didn’t leave the house till after 8:00 a.m. – but I was still able to walk right down the middle of N. Allen St. at 8:30 am., … [Read more…]

Waiting for the worst to come

April 2, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

So, food and pictures – what else can we do? Thursday I roasted a chicken and we ate chicken and mashed potatoes and peas with mushrooms & caramelized onions for dinner. Still using those onions from the pandemic risotto. I guess I left off in my last post right when I was putting the chicken … [Read more…]

My chest hurts, maybe I’ve got it oooh lala, Took the trash out, brought the newspapers in, bleach wiped everything again, washed my hands … [Read more…]
