Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Milky skies... that what Lonnie Quinn called them on CBS weather... so appropriate... wispy clouds overlaying one another... blue skies peeking though now and again... an ineffective sun... chilly enough for jackets... leaves piled up against fences... naked trees standing proud against wintry skies... squirrels fattening up for hibernation... birds congregating in flocks ready to migrate... early winter has arrived.
Off to see the wizard today... knee surgery is in the hubs near future... a detached tendon... bone chip... possibly a small muscle tear... all repairable and to be done within the next ten days... followed by six weeks in the monster leg brace and finally rehab. Big exhale... could have been much worse... grateful that all this is something that can be fixed... and that it can be done in a covid free hospital sanitized for surgery only.
Looks like our thanksgiving plans with Mom will be scrapped. The hubs won’t be walking anywhere and with covid stats rising fast we aren’t going to put her at risk. I will drop off her thanksgiving dinner... visit briefly with a mask on... then go home... we can video chat safely instead. Disappointing but... zoomgiving this year so we don’t have an ICU Xmas!!
Since we spent the entire day with the wizard it was after 5:30pm by the time we got home. Dinner was a quick hash of asparagus, leftover chicken and potatoes from last nights supper with a sautéed onion and spices... accompanied by glazed plantains... vino... and this apple concoction... shall we call it pie? It was a partial success... the filling was delicious... aromatic... spiced... and sweet. The crust was... meh. The pastry just didn’t taste much... more like a cracker than a crust... but edible... just...
Please take good care of yourselves... thanksgiving is not a reason to throw precaution to the wind... hospitals are filling up and overflowing... getting covid could be a death sentence... don’t risk it for yourself or the people you love most in the whole world! Stay safe... wear that mask... limit social interactions... and wash those germy hands!
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
