works real well, no pain even on the shots, but…didn’t give me antibiotics, and he’s off today. Friday. Sigh. OTOH, thank goodness for my dentist, who does have Fridays—because half my face is red and the sinus hurts. We knew that one was...

Going to have a few bruises, but all ok. Figure skating was one of our really good smart moves. You learn how not to fall on slick surfaces and how to fall if you’re going to…which boils down to, walk like a penguin on frozen surfaces, ie, flat-footed in...

It’s really pretty out there. The snow-viewing lantern top knob is quite buried: the whole top is a conical mound of snow. And more is forecast over the next couple of days, with temperatures in the single digits. We’re going to have some shoveling and...

Love to watch it snow. This week was a bit of a bummer—bone graft didn’t take well enough, so the dental implant is on hold, perhaps for good—and the scan to determine same found 3 abscesses. So…back to the endodontist. I was really in a down...

Just went to the store… Pot roast, potatoes, carrots, celery, etc. It’s supposed to be just a light dusting, but more later in the week. We are home and snug and preparing to decorate for Christmas, a thing Jane dearly loves to do. I agreed to clean up in...

About 4x the number that will fit on shelves in our library area of same. This is a job we’ve postponed since moving here. We’ve tried about everything to figure how to sort this mess, but I think Jane is onto it. Three quarters of them have to go (to a...

This one is also helping both Jane and me…a home traction for lower back that ought to be safe if used as directed. It’s from Teeter, the people that make the inverse table hanging thingie, so I figured it had to be other than a crackpot gadget. It’s...

Here’s the recipe: coconut flour naan. The dough worked. I was able to create naan flats, pick them up and have them hang together, plus turn and lift with a spatula. And it tastes good. Oily, yes. We are now on the see-if-it-sticks-to-your-ribs test, meaning...
