Not much going on this past week. I am over my stomach bug, though yesterday, I did something very nasty to my back, shoulders and neck! There were two forty pound bags of solar salt
for the water softener system that needed to go from the garage into the
basement. <sigh> Considering MHN’s
condition, he cannot do these heavy-duty chores anymore, so I did it. Yes, it was a mistake. Took a pill for pain, got in bed on the
heating pad until Shayna woke me up at 3:30. I'm still hurting today but nothing like yesterday.
I was supposed to meet my brother, SIL, sister and aunt for
lunch but there wasn’t any way I was going to be able to do this, so I rain-checked.
Granddaughter coming in a little while with her Dad for
a visit. Haven’t seen them since
Christmas Eve.
I miss this little girl so much!
Have a couple of ideas I am kicking around - Depending on
the date that is chosen, I may be taking a bus trip to Arthur Avenue in the
Bronx. Little Italy. This is through a
FB group, Wooster Square Cooks and it was my late, former husband’s
first wife who invited me!!! Isn’t that
one of the coolest things you have ever heard?
😊
There is also a pasta making class sometime late March-early
April; just one night, to learn to make gnocci and cavatelli.
Lastly, there is a collage class at the Guilford Art
Center. I can’t do them all. (Time, energy
and expense), so I’ll be prioritizing over the next couple of weeks.
Daylight savings coming up in a couple of weeks. Excited about that, but also disappointed
that we didn’t have one nice big, close the schools kind of snowstorm. I know it’s only mid-February and it could still
happen, but I kind of doubt it.
It’s seems like a quiet week ahead…no appointments for
either of us. Planning on catching up on
housework and reading my books and a bunch of magazines. Wishing you all a wonderful week! God Bless!

The resolutions:
Lose pounds. Did
not weigh in this week. (Yeah, well I did...we won't talk about it)
Start doing some form of
the e-word. Not
this week.
Sell this home and find a new one. And then,
decorate new place with some new furnishings and be in love with it. Prayers.
Continue packing up the house. To continue this
project....
Have big tag sale in the Spring. Yes! I think I will also participate in the St. Mary Church, Clinton tag sale in June.
Read 100 books, about two per week. (Not going to count cookbooks.)
9. Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch by Haywood Smith
10. The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams - Finished
11. The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by
Gabrielle Zevin
12. The Stationery
Shop by Marjan Kamali
- Emily,
The Cookbook by Emily Hyland
Cook from scratch at least once per
week: Made a split pea soup in the crock pot on Saturday; Just finished my sauce today.
Weed out my recipe stash. A little bit.
Blog once a week, even if I have nothing to say. Present! I am rethinking this; when there is not much
to say (I mean, how boring can I be? The
answer is “very”!!) I may skip a week.
Participate in one holiday craft fair, probably
November 2020. Depends on where
things stand….
Go through each craft and art magazine (There are lots!!) and save
the projects that I want to try. Nothing new
In line with the previous goal, go
through my craft stash and list each project I have started that has fallen by
the wayside and finish them: Nothing new
Have 50 mini dates with MHN – Still waiting in #3
