In case you were wondering, my knee still hurts. I did decide to mostly
take it easy this week & increased my use of ice on it. I know you are
excited to have this update.

This is an unattractive photo of a DELICIOUS lunch. I had half of a Hardee’s Frisco burger from the day before & I put some guacamole on it & turned it into the best thing ever (ß hyperbole, but still…).

I regret to inform you that I’ve corrupted Dr. M. And he even took it a step further: fried egg on oatmeal with raisins!
Later, he wondered around
the yard looking for beauty.

I had an unexpected trip home during lunch & spent my own time rambling in the yard. Not pictured: a completely zonked bumblebee. I swear I could almost hear it snoring.

Sometimes, on a random Wednesday, you have to spend your lunch hour in your car taking a bajillion selfies because what is even going on in the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. M in his
happy place.
Went by Dad & Sue’s on
the way home and finished the latest puzzle! It had a lot of really interestingly shaped pieces. Fun!
Things Dr. M saw at his dad’s house.

Dr. M got our spring hanging basket – verbena!
Saturday, April 1st
I started the week with food and I’m ending it with food. This time it’s half of a Jason’s Deli Texacado Toast: fresh avocados, roasted corn and black bean mix, cheddar, jalapeño ranch, on toasted Mexican-style bread with salsa. I added the fried egg. Yum! Also half of a Smores Crumbl Cookie. It was a good food day.
This week was full of tragedy and also some good things, which I guess
isn’t that unusual. But it’s still hard to go from one to the other back to
back to back. I’m going to spend some time today reading uncontroversial and
life-giving things (one of which is a Christian romance bodice ripper that was
included in a set with a J.D. Robb novella and I’ve just got to see how they
pull that off – or rather DON’T pull it off because I hope to heaven that the
plot doesn’t include actual bodice ripping). How are you spending your Sunday?

Was going to do Creamy Pesto Chicken Tortellini but herself's tummy was misbehaving so she'll have chicken rice soup and I'll have leftovers of last night's rotini with homemade pasta sauce.
ReplyDeleteWell, all of that sounds amazing!
DeleteI don't eat eggs anymore. They always bother my stomach for some reason. I try not to eat raisins because I simply dislike them and always have. But I'll make and eat guacamole anytime (if Rick loved it as much as I do).
ReplyDeleteOur magnolia trees are going to burst this week, and I cannot wait. The forsythia are about to go, too. Spring is happening in fits and starts here, so I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm so glad to hear that spring is happening for you!
DeleteA Christian romance bodice-ripper? THAT sounds intriguing. Do tell!
ReplyDeleteThat puzzle looks like a challenge. Which I guess is the point.
Well, it wasn't as exciting as it sounds. And the bodice didn't rip because she just took it off her own self and now I have no idea what to think about anything anymore. Ha!
Deletefried egg on oatmeal...why? eat the egg, eat the oatmeal. lots of bloomy things up your way. I love the creeping phlox.
ReplyDeleteI think it's that I wanted a healthier alternative to grits, and I've always grown up eating fried eggs in grits. Otherwise, I don't really have anything to say for myself.
Deletethecontemplativecat@blogspot.com here. Google is messing with me. Your spring flowers are beautiful. I will check back at my hometown area in Illinois,to see if lilacs are blooming.
ReplyDeleteOur Ohio neighbor had a gorgeous lilac bush. We've moved, and he & his wife have since passed away. I hope whoever has their house tends that bush well!
DeleteI'm still thinking about egg and oatmeal. Personally, I'm a nuts and fruit gal when it comes to oatmeal -- and a little cinnamon if I remember it. What happened to your knee? I guess I missed that, too. I did have quite an exciting experience recently; a neighbor's dog bit me and left four big puncture wounds in my upper thigh. The good news is that my tetanus shot's up to date now, and the doggie had its shots, so a week's worth of antibiotics should do the trick. My poor neighbor was beside himself. The dog was on its leash, and the fellow and I were just talking. Who can explain the mind of a dog?
ReplyDeleteI think I might have sprained it sometime in March. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's still bothering me so not it's very annoying!
DeleteYIKES about the dog bite! They're such complex creatures (even though they seem simple).
