Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It should be a warm, partly cloudy day. I need to take J's car out for a spin and may grab a grocery item or two while out.

Hi Ed!
LOL! at me! I woke up at 4:30 and thought I was waking from a nap. Wrong-O, it was already Sunday...a.m. I'm glad I figured it out before I burst out of my room and woke the household. (meaning Ted, Maya and Tom E.
Today is playoffs day in Soccer. Ted is all in to watching what he can on my TV...and whatever he can find streaming online!
It looks to be a nice enough day, just not exactly sunny! I'm gonna try to get outside a bit too. I have more pea seed. So, I may plant another row. What ever ate my batch of chards, does not apparently eat peas!!
I am so glad I watched our POTUS-elect. What a motivationally address. I think we can breathe a bit. (wearing our masks of course). It will be awhile before we in GA get to vote on 2 senate run off seats...fingers crossed.
Because of the afore mentioned soccer, DINNER will be about 3p.m....and it will be from VeGreen! So I get to have my Tofu and Vegetables and a spring roll. We picked out cake slice yesterday at Whole Foods.
Enjoy your day!
Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It looks like it may be another warm, overcast day, with a slight chance of rain. I am pretty much ready for Thanksgiving here. I have too much food, but it will all eventually be eaten. Dinner last night was salad and a vegetable gratin and breakfast today was a meat lover's breakfast bowl from the freezer.
Not a lot of definite stuff on the agenda for today. I have already given Lilo her Monday morning subdermal fluid treatment. It went well. I wish, sometimes, that J was more comfortable with medical procedures involving needles, but fully understand why that's not the case. To be fair, the needles I use for her fluid treatments are the big, scary looking, about 3/4 inch long 18 gauge needles reminiscent of those used for donating blood.
I should probably at least check into whether I might need to start some laundry.

Good Morning Ed,
Still a bit sleepy headed but this coffee should do the trick!
I watched what I could, about 1 ¼ soccer games, game up and went to bed! I'm good for one game...after that sorta lose interest.
Our dinners from VeGreen were good as usual...and they've opened their dining room for indoor dining. Ummm, I think I'll continue to bring mine home.
One load laundry going, and another small load to follow. That may be the sum total of my chores for the day. Or, I may take that return package to UPS., maybe...
I watched the video from Saturday....the Brazil Nut one. I really like them, but they are a lot of trouble to crack. I need one of those nut crackers like the ladies were using in the video. And final thoughts...wonder if those folks cracking the nuts make a fair wage, and finally, never ever walk under a Brazil Nut Tree! I used to give wide berth to coconut trees while in FLA. same reason! Just not into getting my head smashed in.
Hope you have a good day. I'll think of you while I fold laundry later today. We'll see tomorrow who actually 'does' laundry! AND gets it put away! LOL!
Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It is going to be another warm, overcast day here, with a good chance of afternoon, evening, and overnight showers as the warmth sticks around.
Nothing critical on the agenda today. I think my joints are feeling the upcoming rain chance. I have given Lilo her Tuesday morning shot to help with her arthritis.

OMG! I'm a Unicorn said Emmy, holding that half peeled loufa on top of her head! Only Emmy would do that and get away with it!!! That girl's a trip!
Good Morning Ed!
Well, I'm still chuckling! I think this is a morning that I will watch ALL of the video's. Mostly out of curiosity.
I'm so sorry your joints are being achy. I hate that. Makes you (or at least me) not wanting to move even a little muscle. Maya must be feeling it too...she went for a very short morning walk. Poor old girl. At least you and I can figure out WHY our bones ache!
laundry is clean, dry, folded, and put away!! LOLOLOLOL! Its a great way to start any Tuesday.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful wet Wednesday! It should be hot and rainy today.
I have to call an oral surgeon and set up an appointment for an extraction. My dentist cannot see anything wrong with the tooth in question, but it hurts, especially when pressed and she thinks either the root is infected or there is a partial break inside where she can't see it. If I go to an endodontist first, and they determine that it's broken inside, then I would still have to go to an oral surgeon for extraction, and I decided to just eliminate the middle man. It's the second bicuspid on the upper right so removal shouldn't affect how photogenic I am.
For the moment I am on an antibiotic, which does seem to already be helping, and a strong pain pill. But I can't take the strong pill and drive so am saving it for evenings, unless I know I will be home all day. It is tramadol, one of the synthetic codeine derivatives. I can't take codeine because of an allergic reaction but CAN take hydrocodone, which is also a synthetic codeine derivative.
As I had never taken tramadol before, I gave it a trial run last night. It definitely makes me fuzzy and a bit wobbly, but, so far, not the horridly sick allergic reaction I get with codeine. Hopefully I can get in with the oral surgeon before I run out of antibiotic. The dentist gave me 10 days worth, and today is day number 2.

Good Morning Ed
I am so sorry about the ornery tooth! Hopefully you will be able to see the Oral Surgeon very soon. Meanwhile, glad the antibiotic and pain meds are helping.
I'm about to embark on a journey to ATL to see Dr. Pat the Chiro. It rained like the devil last month on my appointed day. So what's up with this... Looking forward to seeing Pat. Right side hip is not happy, for over a week now.
I plan to make a stop at Whole Foods no matter how the rain comes down. I WANT my Chicken Fried Tofu. (did I tell you WF changed the name to VEGAN Fried Tofu?) Made me laugh. You and I may be the last two people who know/knew what 'Chicken Fried' meant and that it had nothing to do with actual chickens! LOL!! It would be interesting to think what those peeps thought Chicken Fried Steak meant!!!LOL!!
Ok, gotta go...have a good day, sleep lots, and it will be soup for you til you get that appointment??

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's another unseasonably warm day here. My main thing today is visiting the oral surgeon.
At yesterday's consultation, he agreed with the dentist that there is a very strong likelihood the tooth is broken, inside, allowing easy infection and causing the issue. I think we can do this with just a local, but he wants to be prepared for full anesthesia if needed, so J intends to come with me. The antibiotic is working well, and the pain is minimal this morning, so I feel good about trying with a local.
All the same, nothing to eat until after the procedure. And I can only rinse my mouth to moisten, not actually drink anything.

Good Morning Ed.
At least I hope this morning and day will be good to you. Rascally old tooth!
My day is pretty clear right up to my Thursday chat with Jack.
I really hit WF's hot bar yesterday. Besides the loved Vegan Fried Tofu, I got some vegan mac & Cheese. And then...grilled vegetables, a 'splat' of their mashed sweet potatoes, spicy cooked mushrooms, green beans, and, And AND...a veg dish of OKRA that is not fried. I have a history with okra. I've even grown it in my gardens in TN. But, I just never got the hang of it until one night while working in a hospital it was on the steam table and so I tried it Big yum!! But this okra is not fried....so I tried it. Holy Cow! Tasty and not at all slimy. Wish I'd gotten more of it.
The point of the paragraph was I don't have to cook for about 3 days! (OK, I'll make morning oatmeal).
I was so happy to see the CDC? or FDA? admit out loud and to the public that masks not only protect others, but Protects YOU too!!! Ya know, if they'd said that in the beginning..........
Will be thinking about you and your tooth, and wishing you well. Hopefully no need for full anesthesia!

I was in and out in less than half an hour this morning with the oral surgeon. The antibiotic had knocked the infection back enough that the local anesthetic was quite sufficient. He had no difficulty with the extraction. I am still waiting on the anesthetic to completely wear off. J was pleased that the wait in the car was short.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It's a little cooler today, but should still be a very nice day, clear and sunny. Supper last night was cheesy mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs. For J it was salad and scrambled eggs.
Today is going to be mostly rest and recovery. I am about to start making something soft for breakfast.

Oatmeal??? Soft, comfort food!
Hi Ed,
I'll bet your cheesy mashed potatoes were good last night!
Today I get my hair cut, and intend to make an appointment BEFORE I leave today. By not doing that, I really have that 'shaggy' look. It will be 7 weeks, and that is just too long between hair cuts. My hair, and my fingernails grow like weeds!
Will watch the video's with my late lunch. I think since you mentioned them recently it will be mac & cheese...vegan from WF hot bar. MMMMM!
Hope you are not in pain, or have a really good pain med. Mouth pain is terrible.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It will be cool again today, sunny and pleasant. Perhaps light jacket weather in this early morning time, and late tonight.
Not a lot on the agenda today. I dozed a lot yesterday and may do some more of that today. In lieu of my Friday night pizza, I had a very carefully chewed pasta bake, and some very carefully chewed stuffed cheesy bread. J actually had pizza and most of the cheesy bread. I was jealous. LOL. We did each have a slice of pumpkin roll for dessert. I felt I had earned that treat this week!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We are in a cooling trend today, with partly cloudy skies, expecting a high in the mid to upper 60s. There is a 40% chance of rain. I need to finally get started on the laundry.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! And it's, again, a bit cooler this morning as this cooling trend continues. The laundry is clean and waiting in the dryer, to be folded and put away. It should be a beautiful, clear day. I don't need to go anywhere, as I had groceries delivered yesterday, and there is nothing on my "need to pick for myself" list. I went to Ingles last week for that, and peeked at the "used meat" section while I was there, picking up a few bargains.
I have a pound of 85/15 ground beef thawing in the refrigerator, and hope Eduardo doesn't get too frisky with ideas for that, since I am still being very careful about my food. I am thinking perhaps chili or meatloaf would be good, and not too difficult to eat while I favor the right side of my mouth still.
I need to get that laundry folded and put away.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It should be another cool, clear day here. I got the laundry all folded and put away yesterday, and made the chili. Chili for dinner last night, and chili for breakfast this morning. Yum!

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Cold and clear this morning, and it should remain cool and clear through the day. I need to drop by the vet and pick up some stuff for Lilo.

Well, GardenKat, I just found that you passed on last Friday, due to a car accident. I am sure that you are in heaven now.0
