    Ah, quiet, peaceful Christmas dinner is done and the leftovers put away. The ham bone (with a LOT of ham still on it) is in the freezer to go into my New Year black eyed peas. Some of the leftover sliced ham may make it to the freezer too, as I don't really expect our guest to want to eat in all that much. On the other hand, when she smells ham and eggs cooking for my breakfasts, she may want in on that!

    I will finish off the green bean casserole over the next few days home meals and the others may help finish off the potatoes. I have another cheesey potato casserole (shredded potatoes) and some mac and cheese, along with a broccoli gratin, all ready to bake. And, I have some boiled eggs, ready to make into deviled eggs. Most of that is planned for New Year's day, as I expect to need more vegetarian protein and sides for that. I would be fine with just my black eyed peas, ham, collard greens, and cornbread, all of which I WILL be eating that day.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's going to be another warm day here, at least for this time of year.

    Breakfast this morning was my usual favorite for Boxing Day. Ham, eggs, and toast. I might get out to Kroger today.

    Today's sparkling wine from the New Year countdown calendar is from France. I generally like this varietal, but have never had it sparkling or dem-sec, so this one should be interesting. I generally prefer my wine dry. And gee...do you think they could have made this label any more pink? It looks like early Valentine's Day!

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It should be another warm day, with 10% chance of precipitation today. I completed the final(?) move of the mailbox yesterday. I could have asked the contractors doing the sidewalk work to do that, when they come back to work, but I wanted a very specific placement, right up against the sidewalk, and a very specific depth. I figured...if you want it done right...and besides, it was good exercise.

    After I finished that, and had some leftovers for lunch, I went out to four grocery stores. Two of them were Publix. One was Kroger, and the other was Aldi. And I picked up some canned cat food at PetSmart. Then I cleaned house a bit because we were expecting company. I had to pick her up at the MARTA station, and then we waited for J who was late driving back from Kentucky, due to traffic issues. We had a late supper at Waffle house, shared my little pink wrapped bottle of sparkling wine, and after chatting for a while and watcing all the cats running around like lunatics (J was back home AND we had company! Very exciting!) I went to bed.

    This morning's breakfast was a rare treat, but something I always try to work in with leftover Christmas ham. Ham and Swiss on Pumpernickel with salad dressing and spicy brown mustard. AND POTATO CHIPS. The potato chips were the real rare treat, as I just don't have those often at all.

    Today's wine from the New Year countdown calendar is in a blue bottle.

    OH OH OH...for months I've been meaning to ask...did you have a banana tree? and did said tree grace you with banana's? There is a banana tree that I pass every time I go thru my subdivision...short of getting out of the car and walking down a strangers driveway, I couldn't see a banana bunch this year...but there was a really nice one last year.

    Later...

    We have a banana tree, and this year it did produce a small, stunted bunch of bananas, but they rotted without ever reaching maturity. It was still exciting to see it bloom and then produce them though, as this is the first time we have seen that.

    The bottles have been (and will be) disposed of, as our recycle does not accept glass and we are trying to de-clutter, so no bottle tree or the like. Squirrels would likely do things to it anyway and we would eventually end up with broken glass in the yard.

    My REAL Champagne was delivered this morning. Much to my surprise, it was just left at the door. The driver could get in trouble for that, as it is supposed to require an adult signature. Maybe he saw me through a window as he was coming up, and decided to just sign for me. Pretty sure he is an adult, after all. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's simply Saturday! It should be another warm day. I need to get to an auto parts store for a bulb. One of my front headlights is out. I will actually replace them both so they will match in color and luminosity.

    Breakfast today was oatmeal with blueberries and cream. Ham (of course) as a side protein, and a few tiny cubes of good white cheddar. I thought of having another ham and Swiss on Pumpernickel, but decided on oatmeal as a better carb for this morning, as my fasting blood glucose was on the high side at 130. Too much fun yesterday, I guess, though my readings were fine throughout the day. I did take in a bit more food than I have been eating, so that must have been stored up for release this morning to prepare me for the hard morning's work that isn't actually going to happen. I am doing laundry though!

    I'm BACK! I have been back for several hours, but we had to get dinner, get our weekend guest to the train station so she could go to the airport and fly home, and then I had to get my hands back from the cats. J had to entertain our guest without me. I don't think she found it too entertaining spending most of Saturday night at the hospital, where I got the last available bed at the last minute.

    J drove me to the hospital, and came to get me.

    I have never felt anything like this before and was sure it was a heart attack. Needless to say, I was glad to find out it wasn't one!

    All the tests showed my heart is fine. I will be treating my case of pericarditis for at least a week and doing some follow up with my regular doctor.

    Days 5 and 6 in the sparkling wine new year calendar, one of which may be consumed tomorrow, are below.

    Day 5

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 44 and sunny with an expected high of 51 and no chance of precipitation. I still have just a bit of trouble trying to sleep on a flat mattress, but managed it last night. Lying flat really intensifies the discomfort (that's a gentle, friendly word for PAIN FROM HELL) of pericarditis and the coincident breathing difficulty, since breathing in puts pressure on the pericardium.

    I am taking a terrifying dosage of prescription ibuprofen, four times a day, along with a tiny pill of colchicine, twice a day, every day for a week to, hopefully, eliminate the remaining inflammation. The colchicine may help to keep it from recurring, though it's not totally understood how that works without continued prophylactic administration. I'll take that theory with a grain of salt.

    And I have strict orders to take it easy for a couple of weeks. That part chafes a bit, but I understand. I may have been overdoing it a bit...and that may have contributed to the onset of pericarditis. I certainly didn't do anything else to bring it on or have any medical or dental procedures done recently.

    At any rate, it's good to be home. I may need to lie down shortly.

    The final bottle in the new year countdown calendar is from Spain.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Happy New Year!

    I stayed up to toast the new year in. I need to get my New Year food started in a couple of hours. I will let most of it simmer all day in slow cookers, saving the cornbread for last minute. I have several cheesy casseroles ready to bake for J and will make some deviled eggs as well. I will start all that about an hour before the rest is done. J doesn't care for black eyed peas or collard greens, so I will not bother to make vegetarian versions of either, and they will both be loaded up with pork.

    And I still have laundry to fold, from the last load dried before I went into the hospital! I will get on that shortly. Maybe...

    Dinah say's Happy New Year too! (The cats were interested in the loud POP from the kitchen, and my glass, but no Champagne for them!)

    Dinner for New Year's Day was ham and black eyed pea soup, heavy on the ham, over buttermilk cornbread, with collard greens on the side.

    J had cheesy shredded potato casserole, baked macaroni and cheese, and broccoli gratin, with deviled eggs on the side (not pictured) for a tasty vegetarian dinner.

    I did taste all the casseroles by licking the spoons while putting away. They were all tasty.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I got the AC filters changed yesterday, as it's a new month, year, and decade!

    I, too, need to get out today, to PetSmart and, a grocery store or two.

    Other than that, not a lot on the agenda, because I am supposed to be taking it easy and IT...CAN...WAIT! I will probably try to work in a nap this afternoon.

    Breakfast was some of the leftover soup, collards, and cornbread. Lunch will probably be the same.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Another miserable, rainy day here in Peachtree Corners. I don't think I have to go anywhere today and won't, if that remains the case.

    So definitely a "take it easy" kind of day. A little light laundry might creep into the picture sometime during the weekend.

    Hey Ed,
    Just discovered I had not posted. I was on the web site, and my fix-it guy called. We were investigating a new toilet for my bathroom...a tall one, so I don't totally blow up my knees...well, it was a lost cause...checked Home D, and Lowes...I was advised to check out handicap sales places. Now, right there, you can add $2-300 to the price! So, maybe I will continue with the old arrangement..we'll see. Will do some more poking around.

    After that, and drying out...(rained this morning, right?) I hit the gym, came home and fixed a quick apple & Cheese sandwich and it was nap time! Just finished dinner, and have laundry in both appliances, but it should all come together by bed time...est. time..9:30! So much for a lazy Saturday! Will try for a lazy Sunday!

    Hope you were able to stay indoors, and let the running around in the rain to us ducks!

    Later...


    I think you can buy a thing that will sit on the toilet seat that raises the seat, and I am sure it would be cheaper than a new toilet. I don't know what they are called though.

    Ah, here it is. I am sure there are other models and variations on it.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Cold out there but supposed to warm up to about 50 with sunny skies. Not a lot on the agenda for today. Might do some laundry, and might get out to a grocery, but there isn't anything critical.

    And if it's not critical and it's very much physical activity...IT CAN WAIT.

    What littly I need from the grocery isn't that heavy and I am sure I could manage easily. Likewise, the laundry. But neither is critical, so they may wait anyway.

    Hope your day goes well...it may be sunny and 50 degrees, but the wind is killer. and its cold... hope you can stay indoors.



    Well I did get out to change the headlamp bulbs on my van, but that was right out in front of the garage, in bright sunlight. It didn't seem cold to me, but there wasn't much wind.

    We had noticed one was out, and I bought the bulbs to replace both, just before I ended up in the hospital. I finally felt like doing the replacement this afternoon. It's not too difficult on my van, so that didn't take long.

    Other than that, I don't think I will do much today, other than figure out something to cook for dinner for both of us.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It should be sunny and warm today, though it's pretty frigid right now. Schools should be ramping back up, so traffic on our road will be back to normal, since there is an elementary school just up the street.

    I have given Lilo her fluid treatment for today, and have to take her to the vet for a urinalysis. In a week or so, it's back for a re-check on her blood work.

    Meanwhile I have my "wellness check-up" at 9:30, and I'll be discussing my recent hospital visit with the doctor, and I am sure he will bring up the need for a colonoscopy, since I am 60 years old. Joy.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Nothing surprising at the doctor. I am to finish my prescriptions and then monitor to make sure the pericarditis is not trying to make a comeback.

    I got Lilo to the vet and her urinalysis looked good as far as her UTI being cleared up. In about another week we need to check her bloodwork again to see if the we need to increase the fluid treatments or take any other action.

    Today I get to take Kiara and Orion for their annual stuff. Whee!

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I have finished with the colchicine treatment, and will reserve the remaining prescription strength ibuprofen for use as needed, per my doctor's advice.

    Orion has a slight bacterial skin condition in his ears and he is not at all enjoying the cold ear drops I have to rub into his ears twice a day. Last night he forgave me and laid in my lap for a while, but this morning he is still wary of me from this morning's dose. I am sure he will get over that. He's not the first cat I have had to apply those drops to, and may very well not be the last.

    Lilo will get a fluid treatment later today, which is still more fun for me. Well, when one has four cats, one has whatever problems those four cats have. All part of the "agreement" made with the cat at adoption.

    I might get out to the grocery today, but probably not. Right now it is cold out there, but is supposed to be quite nice this afternoon.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! The orange and white barrels in front of our house are finally gone! There are still a few left in a couple of nearby areas where the sidewalk crew is still working, but none in front of our house. There are a couple of spots where they still need to pour sidewalk, and one entry way that has to be re-poured as they had to tear it up to re-do the culvert under it.

    When they packed the beauty strip for our house with dirt, they uprooted my mailbox yet again and when they re-planted it, they didn't get it quite deep enough to be stable and it's a little bit too high up. I spoke to the site manager yesterday and he said he would take care of that. They need to dig it a couple of inches lower. They still have to do some work on the mailbox next door too, so I will wait and see if they actually take care of mine when they do that. If not, I can do it myself. Again.

    Nothing on the agenda for today, I think, except Orion's ear drops. I got laundry finished yesterday. Breakfast was left over pot roast and sides from last night's dinner.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Fairly warm today, with 20% chance of precipitation. I am awaiting a wine delivery, which requires an adult signature. I think they will let me sign without proof of age. LOL.

    At any rate, I have nowhere I have to go today. If I did, it would have to wait until the wine arrives or gets a delivery exception.

    Wow! I hope that the surgery all worked out all right!

    We actually got out in all that mess last night. J just happened to wait until it was about at its worst to decide we needed to get some parts at MicroCenter. I insisted on dinner out, since we were about as soaked as we were going to get. Fortunately, by the time we got out of MicroCenter, the rain had lessened in severity. We drove to El Porton in Duluth for a nice dinner and then came home, where everything appeared to be in order, with no power loss.

    I may get out today for a couple of grocery items, and some cat food.

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! I need to get out around lunchtime to get cat food, at the least. Not a lot else on the agenda this rainy day.

    Howdy all y'all. It's teriffic Tuesday! Another damp, dreary day, but I managed to get out and back yesterday and stay dry. I don't have to go anywhere today so will stay in and dry.

    Take this first one with a grain of salt. I can't attest to its veracity. Make that salt and pepper. With some avocado toast on the side?

    I opened the first of the latest shipment tonight. I have MANY older bottles of wine, but this one intrigued me. Knowing, from prior experience, what Macabeo tastes like, I knew it would go nicely with my planned (and executed) cheesy tuna casserole. See my post on Facebook for details. :smile:

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Less damp and dreary today, but might still be stuffy from all the humidity in the air.

    Not a lot on the agenda for today. I will give Lilo a fluid treatment around lunchtime.

    Take this one with an ENORMOUS grain of salt. Most of these types are overblown nonsense, or outright falsehoods. I am presenting it for entertainment purposes only. Remember all the hoopla about a "yoga mat chemical" in baked goods? As if there were any such thing as a "yoga mat chemical" anyway? Sodium bicarbonate is, I guess, a "cleaning and deodorizing" chemical, by that standard, but I still want it in my biscuits. But when you announce the name of a CHEMICAL that is in something it is SCARY! OH MY GOD! There are CHEMICALS in our food...food that is in fact made of chemicals and is going into our bodies that are made of chemicals and that NEED chemicals to survive. LOL. Didn't change my mind about any of these foods.

    But will we really lose these restaurant chains or is it all just hype from Mashed? Of course they aren't all beloved to me anyway...

    And...grocery stores that Mashed thinks might not survive. With a cleverly positioned picture of a Kroger store at the beginning, though I am sure that is just to get our attention.

    We didn't notice any issues with the drainage while getting out in the downpour the other night, or on getting home. There is some water that flows along the sidewalk at our driveway and then into the road, but it channels along the curb to a drain vent.

    But to be honest, I am not sure if we could have seen how the drainage really looked through that driving rain!

    I am sure Jack will be glad to get home. I know I was.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Getting colder again tonight. I need to take Lilo in for follow up bloodwork. Also, laundry is calling.
