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.

I AM FULLY VACCINATED April 12, 2021

 Before going into the City of Niagara Falls, New York for my second COVID vaccination, I went to the Fashion Outlet Mall on Military Road to go to OLD NAVY.  I had a coupon for twenty dollars off of a purchase totaling fifty dollars or more.   I was hoping to find some spring short sleeved tops.  What I did find was a pair of "khaki's" for fifteen dollars and then I picked out a t-shirt that can be worn with those pants.  I was able to redeem my coupon and get the outfit for $15.00.   I don't really like the khaki pants but they fit snugly, are lightweight and will be good to wear for hiking, so that I will be able to see any ticks that land on me.    Then I headed to the Conference Center in the falls.  I parked in the same place and since I was early and needed to use a rest room, I went over to the Culinary Institute where I knew there was a clean ladies room.   My plans were to go to the Barnes and Noble and to the ba...

New Year's Day 2022 at Home

Image
 I put a pork roast, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions in the crockpot and covered most of that with orange juice.  I thought about calling Marlene to ask her if she would like to come over for supper, but I decided not to, since I want to do several things around the house, including putting Christmas decorations away and if she were to come, I would want to make desert and muffins, etc., which would take me away from the tasks I want to work on.  I completely stripped my bed all the way down to the mattress cover and started laundry.  I tried on all the clothing items I bought yesterday to make sure they fit well, and in case I might want to return some of them.  They all fit well and I will keep all of them, so I started washing them.   I continued watching THE SPANISH PRINCESS.  I talked with Peggy on the phone, and Lisa Pichey called and I spoke with her for a while.  She had her foot surgery two weeks ago and is recuperating at home. P...

FRIDAY June 3rd, First Day 2022 of the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage

Image
 We went to Camp Allegany in the morning to register.  Leslie picked up two Allegany Nature Pilgrimage shirts that she had ordered when she registered us, and gave me one for a birthday present.  They had shirts from previous years for five dollars each, so I purchased two of them, one for me (green) and one for Leslie(yellow).  I changed into the shirt Leslie gave me and she changed into the one I bought her. I was looking for Lori Myers, who I had messaged with on the ALLEGANY NATURE PILGRIMAGE facebook page.  Turns out I was misreading.  We met LON Myers and his wife.  We picked up our schedules for the Pilgrimage:   We went geocaching for a bit since there were a couple of free hours before the event started.    We took our packed lunch to the Red House Administration Building and ate in the large room overlooking the lake and used the restroom there.   Leslie and I both went to NATURE TANGLES.  Judy Light led this gr...
