Walk, Mouse, Rainbow, and an Eclipse
This morning I made French toast using last Friday’s Challah bread. It was very yummy. After we ate, we all went for a walk–EJ, JJ, Danny, and me. We went out into the countryside a bit, which was very enjoyable. I had hoped to… Continue Reading “Walk, Mouse, Rainbow, and an Eclipse”
Birthday: Day 2
Over the weekend, we ran out of milk and eggs, so I didn’t have ingredients to make breakfast today–egg omelets, French toast, pancakes, or cereal all require either eggs, milk, or both. When JJ asked “What’s for breakfast?” I said, “Donuts….Duh!” I am such… Continue Reading “Birthday: Day 2”
Visitation From Above
The day JJ had his CT scan, he felt progressively more sick–nauseous and so cold that I fixed a hot water bottle to warm him. We felt our memories yanked back to the weeks in which we all dozed downstairs to be available to… Continue Reading “Visitation From Above”
Fall Busyness
I spent most of last week cleaning and organizing the downstairs. I cleaned out the media closet, which is a small living room closet in the space under the stairs. I filled bags with videos which EJ later donated to Goodwill, along with other… Continue Reading “Fall Busyness”
Errands, Stories, and Shabbat
All this talk about herbs and spices makes me think of a landscape supply company that we drive by whenever we go to the City. It has dozens of huge mountains of different types and colors of mulch and dirt. The different colors always… Continue Reading “Errands, Stories, and Shabbat”
On Our Walk….
We have had some warm days, but the weather has a hint of autumn in it now. Some of the leaves on the trees are getting edged with color. I love every season of the year, but I think autumn is my favorite. I… Continue Reading “On Our Walk….”
Times Two
This has been a busy week, relatively speaking. Sunday afternoon EJ and I went grocery shopping. We have always gone shopping together. Going together makes grocery shopping more fun and less of a chore. We enjoy being together and with both of us adding… Continue Reading “Times Two”
Nice & Boring
The days of this summer are passing by with one day blending into another without much change. I don’t mind that. Sometimes co-workers ask EJ “How’s life?” When he replies, “Nice and boring,” they respond, “What? Really? No, you want it EXCITING!” EJ says,… Continue Reading “Nice & Boring”
My Baseball Shirt
I sat down to write this post, but Luke decided he wanted to cuddle. Luke kept rubbing against me and touching my face. He lay on my arm and wiggled on the keyboard. I tried to push him away, but when a cat decides… Continue Reading “My Baseball Shirt”
Boogerized
Today was mostly almost good. I always make Challah bread on Fridays for Shabbat. I always begin making it as soon as I get up in the morning, even before I make coffee or check Facebook, because I have to prepare the dough, let… Continue Reading “Boogerized”
Mostly Good!
I woke up this morning when I smelled the coffee. EJ had gotten up before me and made a pot and the aroma wafted all the way upstairs. By the time I got downstairs–before 7 a.m.–EJ was falling asleep in his chair. He works… Continue Reading “Mostly Good!”
A Wintry Day
We woke up to a beautiful wintry world. I don’t know what the official totals are, but I think we got at least 7 inches of new snow. I believe I must be the only person in the whole Midwest who welcomed the snow… Continue Reading “A Wintry Day”
Exercise
It’s nice to have a week without any Chemo. Yesterday morning I went to the grocery story in a nearby town to pick up a few things. I was really surprised to see employees busy in every aisle. At first I thought they were… Continue Reading “Exercise”
Spaced Out
Every day this week, I told myself that I needed to write a post, but that’s as far as it got. I’d sit down with my computer to write and my mind was a blank. It didn’t help that my space bar was/is being… Continue Reading “Spaced Out”
Day 1 of Cycle 3
Yesterday we spent much of the day cleaning the house and doing chores. After we were finished getting everything done, we sat down and watched a favorite Netflix series with delightfully quirky characters. This morning we woke up to another six or so inches… Continue Reading “Day 1 of Cycle 3”
