May still do that as well.:yum:

My sister brought me over a few today, YUMMY! :biggrin:

Not much going on here, still not 100% fixed with logging on, WIFI here sucks lately. I should break down and get my own WIFI, bit I hate the two companies you have to deal with, Comcast, or WOW, and both suck bigtime.

Going to a birthday party in a bit for one of the nicest people in the building, she does a lot for everyone in here. She turns 70 today, but looks 50....:w00t2:
 
Got the meatloaf (dinner) done.
Guys came home and ate hearty- one is zonked on the sofa, the other in his room watching his television, Jane will arrive home after 10 this evening.

The weather reports are for possible severe storms overnight.
Radar right now looks a little active around these parts.

I'm finally starting to feel better recovering from was called type "B" flu. Who knew there was more than one type of flu? It seems that there are three, A,B and C. I was told to stay away from people for a few days and that's a diagnosis that I will follow. :biggrin:

Basically sitting around doing nothing but reading. I should do that more often. It's fun!!!

Sooner or later I'm going to have to get off my fat, lazy butt and do some work around here but I need the weather to co-operate.
 
Guess it's a new day. 12:20am. Got a sick child in the house. It's the start of yet another sleepless night for me. Abdomen is burning. All I did today(yesterday) was sit on my butt watching tv. Oh. And I gingerly made my way to the vehicle to drive to the church for pancake dinner. Just doing that and I have to pay for it for the next two days. Life sucks.
 
Taking the F-I-L who is 84 down to the VA for a checkup and blood draw. He is still doing OK, slowing down a bit, but OK. Then off to Denny's for his favorite breakfast. Gonna be a busy morning. :clap:
 
Managed 5 hours sleep. Got a meeting this morning with our foster home worker. Then meeting with the surgeon at 1pm. Then nurse scheduled for this afternoon to change my dressings.
 
Went to get a haircut this morning. Pulled into the strip mall where my barber is located. Roughly 20 cars/trucks from the local coroners office, sheriffs office, fire department were parked on the side by the drainage pond.

Walked into the barber and he said there was a murder last night. The body was found by (or possibly in) the pond a couple hours before I showed up. No clue if it is gang, or domestic, or what. But its being investigated as a murder.

On my way to Arby's for a fish sandwich. Then home. Planning to go to Ash Wednesday mass tonight at 7 at the local parish.
 
Ooops, it is Ash Wednesday.
Here I packed a lunch with meat.:hammer: :rolleyes:
Little smoked sausages w/green beans and mushrooms.

To abstain or not to abstain, that is the question.
 
Packed a batch of caraway seed sauerkraut, and got a new batch started with caraway seeds and grated carrots. I forgot how good homemade sauerkraut is, and how good it is for your digestive tract. Cold packed and refrigerated this batch...no hot water bath which kills a lot of the good bacteria. I've had this last a year in the fridge when I forgot it was way in the back of the outside fridge, and still as good as when it was made.

The cap plate (plastic cutting board cut into a circle in the band saw) is held down with 3# of spent pellets from my pellet gun trap in the basement. This was a lot cheaper than the ceramic weights they want $21 for in the catalogs.
 
Too damn cold to do anything, outside that is so I think I will make a big pot of soup and some bread for bread bowls to go with it.

My new sway bar bushing kit should come in today from JC Whitney for my truck but no way I am doing that project in this weather. It can wait for a warmer day.
 
Busy day for me. First day back at physio since the surgery. Nurse coming this afternoon to change my dressings. Sometime this afternoon I have to make a trip to the border. Then band practice this evening if I feel up to it.
 
Whew!
Busy day yesterday.
Working again today, then have the weekend into Monday off.

Going to go to the Knights of Columbus to pick up some fish fry dinners for some of us this evening.
 
Men's church breakfast this morning. Damn cold with lots of wind. As much as I wanted to go it was a chore for me to stick my nose out the door and go but I did it. Now back close to the wood fires and very happy and warm indeed. Maybe time for a nap. :yum:
 
Getting ready to play some cards this afternoon, and have dinner with some friends. Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest, but I have a ton of laundry to do, and some house cleaning.

Monday is a busy day too. :sad:

Bummer.

There is something going around.

We went to visit Melen in North Carolina. I got it while I was down there, felt better the day I came home ... but that was the same day Melen started feeling ill :mellow:

And I know its going through the schools up here.

If you have what I had you'll be feeling better after about 36 hours. Good luck.
 
They say that, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" and that's been the story of my life lately.

Since I got over my flu/intestinal problem, and got to feeling better, the weather has been sucky. I had intentions of doing all kinds of stuff but the wind has either been blowing gale force, it's been too cold to be outside or it's been raining. Take today for example. It was definitely grey and cool but no matter, put on a jacket and get after it. I stepped out the back door and got hit by a 5-minute downpour and then it settled down to an all day drizzle. Went back inside and called it quits. I suppose that it'll all still be there next week when the weather is supposed to get nicer again.

Get better PG.
 
A few days ago our youngest son had the flu. He's a trooper though. Got down from his top bunk and went to the bathroom on his own to get sick.
Guess what we were doing at 2am? Our 9yr old daughter projectile vomited in bed. Then left a trail all the way to the bathroom.
 
Yes, feeling much better today.
No standing over or sitting on the loo repeatedly :biggrin:
Sure was wicked tho!

Haven't had much to eat today.
I'll be careful for another day or so.

Other than that, nothing real exciting going on around here.
My brother offered to move some heavy stuff for me in to storage,
but I told him that can wait.

Lazy Sunday.
 
Had some ripe black bananas so I made up Banana Pudding for dessert tonight. Other then that a lazy day. Found a nice used repair manual for my truck for 12 bucks on eBay so ordered that and that's about it. Some tube time and a nap are scheduled for this afternoon.

Life is swell. :yum:

My wife saves up the bananas and makes banana bread every couple weeks.

Your day sounds like mine. I skipped service this morning to stay home with our sick daughter. Had a nap. Now gonna watch the Atlanta race. Might have another nap.
 
Not doing anything!

Walter got me up a couple hours before 8am mass this morning so the lovely Mrs Bob and I went to 8am church service. Stopped by the local Aldi for a very quick, minimal grocery run. Back home and pretty much watched STAR WARS on TV since then.

Oh sure, kicked the dog a few times (actually made some home made dog food).

Texted Melen as she is on her spring break from college on a booze cruise to the Bahamas. She and her roommate got the Endless Drinks package for their room, but there are 5 girls on the trip together and they will share the drinks package. Sounds like trouble to me.

Texted with one of my fencers, and her father this morning. They are in Ohio at The Arnold Classic, which is a national fencing tournament. She didn't do quite as well as she had hoped but I did my best to offer consolation and encouragement. One of my buddies is there, he is a top level coach, he is going to take over coaching this girl from me in a few weeks. I'm glad to turn her over to him as I can't get her any better given my skill set but he can take her up a level or two.

If you guys are big banana bread fans you will most likely enjoy my Banana Cake recipe. It is always my go to dessert to bring to the church pot lucks. Let me know if it sounds like it would tickle your sweet tooth.

Heck yeah. Sounds good to me. Please share.
 
Well, I did make dinner for the others.
Shake n Bake pork chops and baked beans.
Sure looked and smelled good, but I don't want to push it just yet.

I had cottage cheese seasoned with Lawry's and some mandarin oranges :glare:

.. tomorrow I shall eat like a pig..
Maybe.. :whistling:

Then Butch goes and mentions banana cake.
:yum:
 
Today was about the same as yesterday. In other words, I didn't do a darned thing. It was damp and drizzly all day. I stayed inside and read, played on the computer and generally did nothing productive.
 
Feeling fine, fit and back to normal? <---:biggrin: today.
Got a call requesting a trade day, so I'll be on today, then off Wednesday.
That'll work out fine as I was asked to accompany my house family to Dayton. He has an appointment at the VA.

It's windy and warm today.
Rain coming.
