And I haven’t even told you about Denver, or much beyond our first day there. When I backed up my pictures there were 51 – it’s been that long since I last did a backup. To start, the following pics are our 1st day in Denver and our first post-birthday day back in Madison. Our … [Read more…]
In this week since Mothers Day, there’s been some good stuff. Let’s talks about that instead of whining (whinging in British) on about all my sinus pain and and knee pain and worry and fatigue. I cooked a few good things, like Hetty McKinnon’s peanut noodles, now also featured in the banner. These I actually … [Read more…]
And we also had a busy John’s birthday weekend before. Last year we were in Chicago for John’s birthday, but he was so busy with work we never even saw him. This year we had brunch with John & Megan the weekend before, and found out that not only were John & Megan coming to … [Read more…]
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…]
Since I can’t go anywhere, I’ve been indulging in sleeping later – until 7:30 – and staying in pajamas later, too. Even so, without the commute, I’ve been starting work earlier and ending later. When I work from home, I can either work upstairs where it’s warmer and I have my up/down desk & big … [Read more…]
So I’m in one of those phases when all kinds of little things are going wrong. That I used to think would protect me from the major catastrophes, but now I’m not so sure. Like how we used to joke about Northwest Airlines “Northworst” that they’d lose your luggage and make you late but [probably] … [Read more…]
We went to Chicago yesterday for an overnight to see the Symphony perform Beethoven, the 8th and 5th symphonies. So popular and a Saturday night, it was a much more mixed-age group than the Friday or Sunday matinees we go to, where in our 60s (oh, and 70s I keep forgetting …) we’re the youngsters … [Read more…]
I started writing this post last Sunday as Halloween 2021, continued yesterday, a week later, when nothing had gotten written except the title. So I changed it to Stuck. And now I am continuing on post-fall-back Monday morning, when it seems like I have a little extra time to write, before I go out to … [Read more…]
And family togetherness. On Saturday morning we tried out the big Farmers Market again, followed by a stop at Madison Farmers Unite to pick up a pre-order. It’s a nice bike ride, until you get the vicinity of the county facility where the market is held. The bike paths peter out, and even though this … [Read more…]
Sunday morning (oh, that’s a song) I decided the best way to de-stress was to NOT try to walk or go out & exercise before brunch. Carl & Susan are coming over – oldsters like us, and fully vaxed – and I’m making a pretty simple menu** that gets done à la minute, except for … [Read more…]
