_Started Typing: 11:54 AM ET Clicked Reply: 12:38 PM ET_ Happy Sunday morning (for six more minutes)! Right now it’s mostly sunny and currently 63°F; just one degree shy of the forecasted high. The next time I let Bailey outside, I’ll see if it’s warm enough to open the front door and raise one of the storm door panels. She’d love that, but it would result in a glare on the TV screen that could impact my afternoon sloth…so I won’t be sad if it _isn’t_ warm enough. 🙂 I’m a couple days behind, but I’ve read everything and I hope all of the sick Mumpers feel better very soon! 🤞 I’m rarely sick, but on Friday I woke up with some kind of weird sinus thing: a _lot_ of pressure, and every now and then the sensation was borderline nauseating. I wound up cancelling that evening’s personal training session. I got a good night’s sleep, and thankfully it was gone when I woke up yesterday. I don’t have allergies, I wasn’t congested, and there wasn’t really any pain (though at times it felt like I could _almost_ be getting either a sore throat or an earache). I have absolutely no idea what happened, but I’m glad it stopped after 24 hours! I made it to yesterday morning’s personal training session with no problem, which was good – especially since I won’t be able to go on Tuesday, because it’s Super Tuesday\* and I’ll be an election officer all day. (\*presidential primary election day, for non-US Mumpers) So far today I’ve done a bunch of volunteer-related stuff, I started my laundry, and I (finally) did my taxes. I owe $136 to the feds and $30 to Virginia; I’ve scheduled those payments for 04/12. I always owe a hundred or two, but I’d rather have the government’s money all year than the other way 'round. I’ll finish my laundry this afternoon, but that will be the only remaining sloth-interrupting activity of the day. In other news, yesterday I ordered two new Lego sets: the ['61 Corvette](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/corvette-10321), and the [grand piano](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/grand-piano-21323). I’ll almost definitely tackle the Corvette first; the piano will be my largest set (in terms of # of pieces) to date. When they’re done I’ll need to clear off another shelf of the glass bookcase in the living room, but I can’t wait for them to arrive! Time for lunch, and relocating to the living room…if I don’t post anything else later today, I’ll catch y’all in the new thread. 🙂 ---

Eldest son stopped by yesterday for dinner and chat. He was on his way to see his daughter in her _a capella_ group a ways from here. He sent me a link to their performance and I was stunned at the quality of her voice (she’s a HS sophmore). A very mature alto for such a young person. Laundry day today, but we lucked out. All the machines were free, so no waiting. Done by 10:30! Wordled and puzzled. In the upper 60s today, so maybe a walk later? ---

> [@InternetLegend](#): > > All that money, and no one had any fun! EXACTLY!!! When you’re pushing your credit limit, you should at least have a few good stories to show for it! I’ve de-leafed the deck and most of the area around it. It’s nice having a mostly wooded yard - I haul the wagon in a ways and dump the leaves. No bagging, no fuss. When daughter gets here with the kids, I’ll start to rake out the flower beds. I’m pacing myself because I know it’ll lead to aches, having been dormant most of the winter. 🤣 It’s gorgeous out there, tho - mid-60s and lots of sun. MIL has been sleeping most of today. The couple of forays into the bathroom have been scary - I have to be ready to hold her up. She gets to trembling and if we’re not ready, she goes down. The hospice nurse is coming tomorrow - honestly, it feels close to the end. It’s surreal that the first conversation of the morning starts: “Is she breathing?” 😢 ---

Man, I really need to start using a laptop instead of my phone to do replies! I was trying to edit a mistake in my (overly long) post, and I apparently just…erased it. I said some very nice and moderately witty things about all of you, I swear! **VanGo** , if you make those to sell, I’d be interested in one or two! **JtC** , the quilt is lovely! My MIL and her mom quilted, and they made lovely quilts for their kids and grandkids for graduations and weddings. I’m just sad that my younger daughter was too young for her grandma to have started her quilt, and I’ve never been skilled or patient enough to learn to sew well, so I haven’t done it. I hope all the sickies - human and animal - feel better soon! We’re looking at yet another week of preternaturally nice weather, and I’m undecided about when to cut back and clear up the leaves and dead twigs from last fall. They’re there to help protect the plants from frost and I don’t want to encourage early growth, but if it’s spring already, it has to get done! Happy Sunday! ---

Sometimes you can’t appreciate feeling good until you’re not. Then when it lets up, its such a relief! I wasn’t sick sick but that gunky feeling sucks. Its approaching 60 today, 70 tomorrow, woot! Trying to eat healthy today. Coffee and o.j. in the morning. Soon to have a peanut butter sandwich. Going to take a stroll around the block. ---

**FCM** {{{}}} Just tough times. **red** Glad Nelson is doing better! **Legend** I’ll definitely sell you a couple. Or to anyone else who wants one. I’d even put something other than the finger lakes on there, if you prefer. I did some stains on them yesterday, so I’ve got pale, medium and dark. I’ll post pics tomorrow when I get back to the shop. Thrilling laundry day today. I think it’ll end at 3 loads. Beyond that it’s a day of paying bills and sloth. Oh, potential good news. The museum that wanted a boat, remember that?, finally got back in touch with a reply from a granting institution that is interested in funding it. Interested, mind you, not definitely going to do it, but hey… ---

Lager and I are better. My symptoms have lightened, but temp went up to 100. Lager is keeping down his food, I’m giving him a spoonful per half hour. He is still a bit off but better. We both had chicken soup, I ate the soup and let him lick the bowl. ---

We’ve had some light snow off-and-on that isn’t sticking. It’s still just a little chilly out, so I’ve just started a fire even though it isn’t quite noon. I used my tomahawk to make some kindling, and used four fatwood sticks that my wife bought. (I’ll save the Fierstart bricks for now.) The Missus had yoghurt for breakfast. I had four Farmer John’s sausage links, and two over-easy eggs on toast. Dinner will be garlic-pesto salmon and steamed yellow squash. ---

Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated and then had a very nice and large first Sunday brunch. A good crowd for church, so lots of food brought in as well. I did, indeed, get to plop in a pew. YAY! Also we sang one of if not the most bizarre hymns ever. [The Spacious Firmament On High](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=the+spacious+firmament+on+high+youtube&&mid=5D16F1376742860EB4A45D16F1376742860EB4A4&&FORM=VRDGAR) is a hymn I like but it is so trippy!

Daughter and the grands are here. We were going to get chicken from the deli, but they close at 4 on Sunday, so **FCD** is going to get pizza instead. Oh well… I like pizza, but if I’m going to stay within my daily food limit, I can only have one slice. Dammit. So I need to find a veggie or maybe and orange to go with it. \<_deep sad dramatic sigh of woe and suffering_\> On the plus side, paper plates, so no dishes - just cups. ---

I wish you peace during the vigil for your MIL **Mooooooom**. Hugs. I got the album finished! I still need to package it up for delivery, but it’s done. Of course, looking forward to the payday did mean that I will likely need a front end alignment for the car. :smh: Nelson actually initiated a game of fetch this afternoon, so I’d say he’s definitely pretty much better. Sunday dinner was African peanut stew served over quinoa and a side of slaw. The stew isn’t one that I’ll repeat. To begin with, it originally called for a whole teaspoon of cayenne for four servings. 😮 Now, I like spicy, but that’s a bit much, so I reduced it to 1/4 teaspoon (just about right, heat wise). The biggest objections were the amount of salt (hello…both peanut butter and broth have salt. Even though the recipe called for salting the chicken when sauteeing it, I skipped that and it was still salty) and the lack of vegetation (the reason for the slaw side). Oh, well, ya win some, ya lose some. ---

Howdy again y’all! It’s been a pleasant afternoon here, so we day drank bourbon and ginger ales out by the cee-mint pond. It’s 75 Amurrkin out as I post. Also, the biiiiiig trash can has been hauled all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow. I know y’all worry about that. **red** glad Nelson is doin’ better. I understand about recipes that don’t quite turn out to be as good as they seemed they would be. Like you said, ya don’t know if ya don’t try.
