Today was Sunday, and Mary was down for the count. The cold has her in his grips; she stayed in bed all day, and I got to be the nurse! I slept in Robin’s Nest as we attempted to keep me from catching whatever she had. It is NOT COVID; that was the first thing we tried.
I waited on her all day which I was honored to do after all she had been through with me.
I worked in the office straightening up things and plan tomorrow to get the tax goodies ready and finish off some long-awaited filing.
Scout and I walked the garden to inspect the progress, and he was quite happy with everything. We watered the berries with acid-based fertilizer; berries love acidic soil. I checked Mary’s babies, and we are actually getting some growth on several of the transplants.
I looked online to see if I could get a nurses hat or a candy-stripper outfit to ware, but alas, they had nothing in my size, which probably was a good thing1
Off to the pharmacy, I went. Me and The Silver Fox. I passed by the local “lake” and it was full to the brim. It began to rain again as I was out and about.
Mary has lived in this area for thirty years and has never seen it so full! The blue dot is us.
For dinner, I outdid myself by whipping up another gourmet meal of macaroni and cheese from scratch. I scratched myself, attempting to open the box; does that count? To make it more delicious, I carefully sliced up a weenie making the julienne cut at exactly 37.35 degrees! Not to be outdone, I popped two potatoes into the cooking pad, brought them to a nice hot temperature, slit them open, and lovingly added sour cream, butter, and a garnish of grated rat cheese! A meal fit for a queen!
Tea was the order of the day; no wine since last week and we are not missing it.
I must admit I had help from Trade Joe’s chef and the microwave!
She stayed up until at least 9:30 pm as I went to bed. Robin’s Nest has a door just a few feet from the Master bedroom, so I could hear her quite easily. I fell asleep quickly, resting my bonbon arm on the pillow.
