It was my first day volunteering on a Friday. I was scheduled as a greeter but they needed to move to me my usual station at checkout. That allowed me to do knit as usual between patients. It was a great day for seeing familiar faces. Besides the usual volunteers and pharmacist I see regularly, […]
Happy Friday! Two lines in my meditation readings today stood out to me: “I learned to be happy with forward motion, no matter how small.” “I have learned that tiny steps are perfectly acceptable and that they add up.” These were perfect reminders for me. I often see the larger tasks on my perpetual to […]
Let’s start with a little update on the knitting. I’m up to day 14 and getting ready to start working the back panel. I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen today. It’s not that I was cooking all day but I did do a bit of that. I like to wrap the […]
There has been a lot of work around these parts on Walker’s International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and his college application essays. To end the weekend on a high note, Bill and Walker decided to have some fun in the kitchen using a cookbook he got for his birthday. They chose the Savory Tuna Burger with […]
Before I talk about the sewing I did today, I want to say how nice it was to see people we knew at church today. We zoomed in from home but this was one of the first weekends when the congregation was invited back into the physical building. I have missed my church community. (Many […]
It’s all about the small details (like that little cozy I’m knitting) that make up a great day lately. Some of today’s highlights included good decaf coffee, a Zoom meeting with friends, texts with loved ones and friends, routines, and an evening walk with Bill. Bill took charge in the kitchen tonight. His next recipe […]
It’s Monday and we are settling into a new groove. The day started off with rain and thus I did an indoor workout on the Bow Flex. I find that my mental health is much improved when I get the endorphins going via exercise. I had a long list of things to do but that […]
Yesterday we noticed that there was water leaking from the freezer. We emptied out the freezer to look at the coils and see if they were somehow frozen over as they had been when our heater went out in the freezer. (Yes, freezers have heaters.) A technician came out and replaced it. I used our […]
Our Sunday started with Mass in the living room. While I would not knit at Mass in church, I have been since we started playing the home game. My body assumes a knitting posture when I sit in a chair in front of the TV. I am justifying my actions by working only on charity […]
The pandemic had made deliveries more exciting than ever. Since we don’t curate our Misfits box, its arrival brings extra delight. Underneath these greens we found butternut squash, spaghetti squash, kabocha, green beans, curly kale, poblano peppers, zucchini, celery, onions, rutabaga, oranges, red delicious apples and D’Anjou pears. The mystery ingredient was the kabocha squash. […]
