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.

Week of Sunday September 8th through Saturday September 14, 2024 (new password info)

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...

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. ...

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased  baking sheets . Bake 8-10 m...
