So, what's for dinner? We has chicken soup yesterday.


Back to the grind today. Today it's just chores and yardwork. Tomorrow the handyman will come by and finish the irrigation manifold, yay! But that won't keep me from doing more yardwork.

Wednesday I have plans to go out for a late T-day/ B-day get together. Was supposed to be yesterday, but ... still recovering. So we thought Tuesday, but Tuesday Mr Handyman will be here. And, still recovering. By Wednesday I hope we'll be ready for a nice restaurant meal. Since I can't taste anything, the food doesn't matter. But I like to be out with people enjoying themselves.

Chicken wings and brussel sprouts is on the menu for tonight and there will be chicken wings left over for tomorrow.

I finished up my left overs of pork sausages yesterday with tomato sauce and some pasta.

Sun is out but it is getting cold out. Brrr.

I love chicken wings! Sounds tasty! Can I come over for dinner??

Brrr! Cold and snowy at my sis's. I asked her to send me a picture in case I'm tempted to complain about the weather.
Of course, if you want to get rid of cold, wet weather send it our way!

SIX, how's the weather there?

*****

I went out with the idea I was gonna complete digging Bermuda grass out from the far corner of the lot. But I derailed myself by getting irked by the Bermuda grass growing out from under the front walkway. I started digging grass from under the edge of the pavers, and when I realized I was lifting them up, I just said "the hell with it" and just starting lifting them up all the way. I only managed to do five, and of course I have to go back and level them perfectly. In the meantime I put an orange caution cone on the loosened pavers, just in case.

Time to make dinner.

Slept very badly last night, and had to get up early to meet Mr Handyman. Still coughing, wheezing, and with a very stuffed nose. So by the time I made b'fast, did dishes, walked the dog, and gave hubby a haircut and beard trim, I was exhausted. Who would have thought holding my arms up to cut hair would be so tiring??

Fell asleep unintentionally, but wasn't covered up so that wasn't exactly a restful nap either!

Anyway, it's too late for yardwork. Gonna make dinner and find some quiet spot to be by myself. Not fit company for anyone.

You mean, like ... clean out your inbox? Or that you need to reply to, or write, legitimate emails to friends, famiky, and publishers?

I've been kind of out of whack, waiting for Dr Rheumatologist to get back to me about this treatment idea. On top of getting over the flu, thanks to chronic asthma I develop a long lasting cough and wheeze after upper respiratory infections. And then with allergies, I had such a raft of symptoms I worried that GPA may have gotten out of control. But since so many symptoms are the same, it's hard to tell.

So I haven't gotten as much done as I would have hoped.

But Dr Rheumatologist got back in touch with me (she had a flu too) and Rx'd azathioprine. So I finally started treatment. Not the infusion but a tablet that is used to keep GPA patients in remission. Since Im not 'in' remission this is an unusual application, but I can't take the usual treatment (methotrexate) bc my kidneys are slow.

Anyhow, it may take four weeks before I can tell if it's working, but it almost seems like it started working right away. Here's hoping it does what it's supposed to do... and more.

If you can't find the exact right word, you're not trying.

The grammar,compared to German, French, and Spanish, is easy.

But the SPELLING!!

That and "handwriting" are why I got B's in English in grade school when I was straight A's otherwise. That really depended on the teacher though an how much weight they gave that stuff on our grades. I had a 4th grade teacher I was convinced hated me because she gave me the only C grade I ever had in grade school because of my handwriting.

Thanks lady. I can type 65wpm with a 1% error rate, but I sucked at writing calligraphy that they don't even bother teaching kids anymore in the 2020s.

By the time I was in middle school I got A's in all of my English classes through my multiple attempts at college. I'm glad we moved into an era where my two biggest writing weaknesses aren't even a factor anymore.

Oh geez...

I never thought of that before. They've got to have a local dictionary option somewhere on the browser, right?

That would drive me nuts if words that I knew I was spelling correctly had the red squiggles. It's already bad enough that these browser dictionaries are limited and sometimes I use words that aren't even in them and I get the squiggles that way.

That is why I ignore the squiggles when they come up.

Also SIG mentioned about English collecting words from other languages which is true. But that one fact makes English one of the hardest languages for non-English speakers to learn.
