It hit 69 degrees today in Sacramento, in February! Clear sky, gentle breeze. More like April. Trees are budding. Things are greening up nicely. Then comes the March freeze. Our poor trees don't know what season it is. But it was a beautiful day today.
Took Joan to her first physical therapy session today. She has a new leg brace that gives her much more freedom. Her therapist said she could drive, so she's going to be driving herself from now on. Now that I'm able to get out and about, she doesn't need me to drive her around. How am I ever going to repay the huge debt I owe her?
I'll find a way.
We went to Trader Joe's for some shopping. I got a lot more than I planned, but hey, it's the first of the month, and that's stock-up time. Same with Joan. Now I have my bananas!!! Plus yogurt. Plus my favorite cold cereal, and, and, and.
Oh, yes, and in the mail today came my "Forever Bags." I've been told that bananas will keep as long as a month. Fruits and veggies keep as long as 15-20 days and are still fresh and full of color. I'll give 'em a try and let you know.
It paid to go shopping today. I came hope with a carton of a dozen minus one Grade A Free Range Eggs, Jumbo, Brown. Free. One egg in the carton was broken, and it was being taken "somewhere" for disposal. I had help taking my grocs out to the car, and I noticed the carton in her hand. I said "Hm, I don't need eggs." She said, "They're free," and opened the carton to show me the one broken egg. She was taking them to the front to be disposed of (without being real specific) . When she said Free, I decided I could use another dozen, minus one, eggs. I wonder how eggs keep in a Forever Bag. Well, I guess I'll boil a bunch of them, and have egg salad on call. Also bought some potatoes with the idea of making potato salad, so I guess some of the extra eggs could be put in the potato salad. Ooops! I need to get some sweet pickle relish and an onion if I'm going to make potato salad. Megan puts ripe olives in her salad, but I never went that way.
I was supposed to get blood drawn today for the surgeon, but it was getting late, and I was going to miss altogether my chat with my sister. So I'll do that tomorrow. And I need to call the surgeon's office to see if the CT scan report has come back.
I guess that covers my day today. I really want to go to sleep, but NCIS will be on in less than a half hour, so I have postpone a nap. And then after that, it's too late for a nap, and too early for bed. So I guess I'll just have to stay awake awhile longer. Oh, yes, and get my rent check to the manager.
OK, that's it.
Bless
