Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Bright skies... few clouds overhead... 42°F... light breeze... mild enough to shovel snow off the deck without a jacket... gave the greenhouse a health check today... water and a bit of love to the plants thriving within. Saw a hawk circling overhead enjoying the thermals... sparrows chirping in large flocks... cardinals whistling to one another... jays squawking... even in winter there is life.
Finished all the Christmas goodies... packed up for family and friends... delivered the first ones today... more tomorrow and Friday. Love watching folks eyes light up at the sight of cookies 🥰 Have a package all ready for Mom... her favorites... Chocolate Chippers... her mother’s Almond Cookies... Double Chocolate Chippers... Magic Cookie Bars and Molasses Crinkle Cookies... all baked with love... and an Orange Cranberry Banana Loaf for breakfast on Christmas Day!
Supper tonite was a break for the cook... Hibachi Steak and Chicken for the hubs... Hibachi Steak and Shrimp for the cook... both accompanied by a crisp salad with ginger dressing... miso soup... stir fried vegetables and fried rice. Outstanding... and best of all... no work for the kitchen staff! Always love a day off when needed... and today was that day... after all the Christmas goodies were finished up and packaged... this gal was pooped!
With all the issues the USPO is having... as a result of the administration’s incompetent appointment to Postmaster General... demolishing sorting machines in major cities across the US... mail and packages on time delivery rate is only 75%... last year, when we had a competent Postmaster General... the on time delivery rate was 90%!! So, of course, Christmas gifts might not arrive here in the Big Apple by Friday 😞😔 hate disappointing folks 😢
Covid continues to take over 3000 souls each day in America... the new strain... 70% more contagious... has been in the UK for over three months... in all likelihood it is already here in the US. Please... think through your Christmas plans... weigh your risks... check with the CDC website for tips... mask up... limit social interactions... and wash those germy hands 😷💕
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
