Yesterday was a beautiful day. Betsy and Gary invited me to go apple picking with them, so I did. I brought home loads of apples for making applesauce ( Read more... )

I'm trying to remember what I did last Wednesday. Oh, yes. Elsa came to clean and meanwhile Nadav and I went shopping at Costco, which we haven't done in a long time. When we got there, I was very hungry and bought a hot dog and diet coke which I scarfed down. I'm glad I did because it not only gave me the energy I needed, but prevented me from ( Read more... )

I used to think that the expression was "to DO six impossible things before breakfast." I have just googled it and found that it's from Through the Looking Glass. The Red Queen counsels Alice to BELIEVE six impossible things before breakfast. Now I know.

I fasted on Yom Kippur this year--the first time in a very long time. It wasn't that difficult. I went to shul for Kol Nidre, but slept too late for morning services on Saturday. I did go to shul in the afternoon for Ne'ila. I helped with preparing for the Break Fast. Also not difficult ( Read more... )

Thursday I had a busy day. I wanted to wake up early and I did, but I had to go back to bed and didn't get up until about 8:45. I got ready quickly and went to pottery. The three things I had worked on two weeks ago were wrapped so well that they didn't dry sufficiently for me to finish so I had to leave them. I started new things and made two ( Read more... )

I finished moving the rocks to the fence and setting them in. My next project is planting the daffodil bulbs ( Read more... )

I made a little list just to keep track of the new things I have to do, and I've done most of the items. That included rearranging some things on shelves in the basement. I'm trying to put things in places where they will be visible and accessible, not just out of the way. I made some progress by moving the large cooking pots to the laundry area ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had an appointment in Milford to pick up a CPAP as a loaner for two weeks. It's more sophisticated than the one I currently use and so Dr. T will be able to get more information off its data card about my actual sleep patterns. I arrived early and had to wait my turn. The technician, Gary, gave me a complete explanation and ( Read more... )

It is rainy and dreary today. I had hoped to work on the stones at the fence, but it is too wet and muddy. I also thought about going to an open pottery session, but wasn't really up for it ( Read more... )

I dithered about going to shul until it was after 1:30. Although they were probably still going through the service, I decided not to go. Then I wasted some more time and finally went outside to play in the dirt ( Read more... )
