Another “Slow” Day

Just saying…

We were up around 7:00 am and turned on the coffee pot.  It is new, and I had a problem figuring it out.  The first cup of coffee I made was hot water.  What is going on?

Then I noticed three black pieces of plastic on the sink!  Our girl, Domi, cleaned the coffee maker and forgot to put it back together.  After a few minutes, I returned the pieces to where they belonged, and we got coffee instead of hot water.  I love it when the coffee kicks in, and I realize what an adorable badass I would be today.

We gave Scout his medications this morning; he had more than us!

Wow!  We roll his pills in a cheese log, and he gladly woofs them down!

We departed for Mary’s PT at 8:30 am, and the weather was good but cold; it was 52 degrees when we arrived.  I dropped her off and when to the local burger place and had a coffee, and read some legal stuff as I am changing my will and other legal goodies, bringing them up to date.  I picked up Dr. Mary about an hour later, and we went by CVS to get some photos we had made for Jan.

We were going to drop by Home Depot, but it was too cold.  We dropped off the pictures at Jan’s front entrance and sped home to get warm and keep Mary out of the weather.

When our friend retired from a lifetime as a photographer, he moved to an Old Focus Home.

Visiting Jan in January.

The weather looked great, but looming grey clouds were in the distance.  At about noon, the wind started howling, and we turned up the heat and stayed inside.  The whirlygigs in the garden were going crazy; any faster, they would have taken off!

Mary made some chicken soup from scratch; that’s her medication for a pending cold!  We sat at the kitchen table and watched movies all afternoon and early evening.

I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my wife’s lovely voice from the kitchen.

“What would you like for dinner, my Love. . . Beef, salmon, or lamb?”

I said, “Thank you for asking!”

She replied, “You’re having chicken soup, dummy!  I was talking to Scout.”

We called Colleen, and a few minutes later, Joe, our son, called.  We did a three-way.  Joe’s home heater died, so naturally, Collen and I ganged up on him, sending him pictures of fires, etc.  The teasing goes on!

New ways to keep warm!

An hour later, Joe sent us a message indicating how he had several ways to turn off the power to our house.

We finished the evening with a movie and dining on fantastic checked soup.  We crashed by 8:00 pm.

About Paul
