February 24th, 2022 Thursday and Friday the 25th.

THURSDAY:  Last night I slept better than I have since the pain in my leg started (about two weeks ago).  First thing this morning after I got up, I started a chuck roast, onions and carrots in my largest crockpot.  I got the ingredients ready for bread putting, which I will prepare for dessert.   

I went to Medwell and saw Erica regarding the strange, intermittent pain in my left hip, groin and leg.  She diagnosed the problem as INFLAMMATION.  She prescribed a six-day course of steroids.  She said that continuing my chiropractic treatment is OK.  When I got home, there was a recorded message from Rite Aid telling me it was ready.  I threw the bread pudding together and put it in the oven and went to pick up my two scripts:  the steroid and eye drops for after the laser surgery next Wednesday.  Rite Aid had a table set up just inside the front door, with lots of government issue N95 masks.  They are different (and better) than the other ones I picked up last week.  I came home and added the potatoes to the crockpot and made muffins for supper.  Took a nap, got up and cut the roast into smaller pieces and returned it the crockpot and added mushrooms.  Started making "pea salad".  

Peg arrived at 5:45, just as I was taking everything out of the crockpot.  Our meal was delicious!  I gave her enough for her lunch tomorrow as well as a couple of muffins and a helping of bread pudding for David.  We had a nice visit.  

I saw on the TODAY SHOW this morning that the tv show LAW AND ORDER is returning tonight after a 12 year hiatus, so I decided to try it.  I have never watched a full episode but I probably have seen a few bits of the show over the years.  

FRIDAY:    It snowed in the night and I decided to stay home today, instead of going to the Y for the one p.m. walking club.  I figured it was a good day to scan Peggy's pictures from her 1988 mission trip to Mexico and I completed that and put them all into a set on her flickr page.   All of the time I was scanning, labelling and moving to flickr, I was on hold with Social Security.  They have not issued Mary Anne's final benefit check.  I finally hung up and wrote them a letter, which I will put in the mail tomorrow.  

I tried a different recipe for YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS, to go with my leftover roast for lunch.  I am not happy with the way they turned out.  

Peg shared a short video of a Russian tank rolling right over an occupied vehicle in Ukraine.  I burst into tears while watching it.  I feel hatred for Putin.

The pain in my left groin, hip and leg is almost nonexistent today.  Of course, I have no way of knowing if it is the chiropractic treatment or the steroids the doc prescribed.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Image
 I got to the church around ten forty a.m.   I asked Lou to let me in to the office area and he did.  I picked up the boxes of cards, list of names and the printed Christmas carols and then I went down to the basement and looked for the "sugars" for the tea.  I found a few.  Then I located the case of bottles of water, but it was heavy, so I located Lou again and he carried it to the kitchen.   Once I got back to the kitchen, I looked for more "sugars" but couldn't find any, so I went to the COFFEE BAR, and they filled a bowl with different types for me.  I got the silverware ready.  I opened up the packaging that held the tablecloths captive (I have had difficulty opening them in the past) so that they would be ready to go.  David and Jan both came at the end of the service.  Jan located the floral displays for the tables, and we started to put the red tablecloths on the tables.  By this time, we had a lot of other helper...

Week of Sunday, March 17th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 SUNDAY:  I started feeling kind of shaky and week during worship at church this morning.  So, I had to tell Marlene that I needed to go home after church instead of going to North Tonawanda with her.  Our plans had been to go to Joey's Place for lunch and then to the Riviera Theatre for the free organ concert by Camden Church.  I stopped at Mark's and got a slice of pizza to take home for my lunch.  It was not very good; I am sure it was left over from yesterday.  I found an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES on Hoopla and watched most of one episode until I started dozing off on the couch.  I spent the rest of the day resting at home, but I started working on planning for Thursday mornings FREEDOM GROUP, which I will be facilitating.   MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment and then went to the Y where I walked 15 minutes and then used the recumbent bike for five minutes. Then I returned a bottle of cranberry juice to Aldi and go...
