What are you doing today?

My plan for today is to finish going through the papers on my table. Write a blog post, start putting together a photo album and get an envelope of photos together to send to someone who is going want them and be glad I sent them. Should be a quiet day for me.
 

Today it's quite sunny but very breezy..

I have a meeting later, and then from there I have to go directly to have my second pfizer Jab.. nearest place to have it done is 2 towns away...

Up until August this Year when Vaccinations were at their height, we could pick and choose a walk in clinic and have it done, .. but now they have to be booked in advance and there's comparatively few places available..

I'm hoping to go and do some shopping afterwards and get that done , and hopefully if the sun stays out I might manage to get some last of the Autumn photos taken for this year . The forecast is for rain for the next 4or 5 days .. which means I can put the car away and just stay home.

No, no I will not have to quarantine. I have had my three vaccinations. Besides, I can not swim. I can not fly. I will have to take a cruise ship, a slow cruise ship, and that will be considered my quarantine time. I will arrive fatter than when I left, but still have room in my tummy for your treats. 😊

If you're going shopping...I'm out of bacon.
 
The usual stuff and maybe some shopping for groceries. We are extremely low on meat and vegetables so might buy some as it will be all gone in a couple of days. I like to use up all the frozen stuff before I buy new to make sure something doesn’t end up months old.

Then again, it’s really cold so might wait a couple days, till it is all gone. 😂

Sadly, I have not bought bacon in six months. Although I could, I guess, “afford” to buy it, I refuse to do it. After all, I could buy a bacon cheeseburger combo for the same price which I refuse to do as well. It’s the McDonald 3 dollar bundle for me 😂-no bacon on it.

I put a bundle in the mail for you-when you get it, it should still be as fresh as when I first bought it 😂😂😂
 
Beautiful sunny day to start so decided to push hubby around the bird sanctuary...10 mins fiddling with wheelchair /hubby etc as always......pushed a few yards, then felt spots of rain , so quickly back.......waste of time that was.....

Does he not like walks in the rain? Or does he get too cold?
 
Starting yesterday I'm working on food prep dry-runs for next weekend's baby shower. The menu is proving to be a greater challenge than expected. Our mom-to-be has developed gestational diabetes serious enough to require meds. Other attendees include vegans, vegetarians, a gluten-free vegan, two keto eaters, a close family member is allergic to cumin, cilantro and some other spices, plus some who eat standard fare.
Planning to make a couple of versions of some foods and, will provide ingredient information for everything. Hoping for the best...

Good morning Maggiecat...how's my best girl today?

Awww. He hasn't forgotten! Maggiecat😻 is just as fine as frog's hair🐸 Ever seen frog's hair? No? That's because it's so fine;)

Oops. Forgot. What am I doing? Resting! I worked this morning. In spite of the rain, the cars and trucks were lined up at the drive-thru and all the way into the turn lane in the street. People will have their biscuits...with egg, with cheese, with ham, with pork tenderloin, with steak, with bacon, with sausage, and with any combination of those. Sometimes they even ask for plain buttered biscuits. And sometimes they want biscuits and sausage gravy.

So far the price of biscuits hasn't gone up, but it's bound to happen and probably soon.

Today, I will be working on a chapter of my dissertation. It means I have to read, write, review, and sit at my desk for hours. Will try and walk my daily walk, though.

Learned that three of my poems have been accepted in an international poetry journal. Celebrating with a piece of chocolate with my coffee.

It's a beautiful day outside, sunny and breezy. Expecting rain tomorrow.

Also, adding all those of you who are ill in my prayers.🙏

Even though I have my own warm comfy house, I have started to train my people to open the door to their house for me in bad weather...

When the brand of bacon I like went to $6/lb. I was aghast. When it went to $7, I tried a cheaper brand. It barely passed muster. When my brand went to $8 lb, I tried turkey bacon from Aldi (under duress). It barely passed muster. When it got higher, I think (but have to double check) that that I got my anti-bacon daughter to buy my brand just once. After all, I'm paying for it. I asked her to buy biscuits for country gravy. She bought croissants. I sent her back, she bought flaky biscuits. So now I need her buy the right kind - regular Southern Grands.

At this rate, I'm going to lose weight from aggravation and from being deprived of my biscuits and bacon-based country gravy exactly the way I like them. This is a once a year treat. I could lose a few pounds, but I planned on that happening after I eat, not before. That is, if I don't drive my daughter around the bend with this little ingredient gathering project.

Yesterday i went through 2 large containers of Country Women and Birds and Blooms magazines, from many years.
All going to someone free.
Think i need to pace myself.......have 6 months of winter left to fill in.

I hope you don't have a ton of cooking magazines to go through. My method is to stuff the recipes I like into a couple of fat files, and then never look at them again. That, in turn, gives me something to do the following winter. I still have my Mother Earth magazine articles about becoming self-sustaining in every way. That, of course, will never happen. I keep them just for daydreaming.
