Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
🎼 🎶 Blue skies smiling at me... nothin’ but blue skies do I see 🎶
The thermometer gliding up to 50°F this afternoon under bright skies... calm winds allowing the mercury to climb... pausing at a traffic light... window open... enjoying the warmth... hearing throngs of sparrows chirping among branches of a twenty foot bamboo grove... folks out dog walking... eyes crinkling behind their masks... nodding hello as they pass one another... a group of kids on bicycles zipping by... amidst a pandemic raging out of control people finding small ways to enjoy their day.
The hubs got an A+ from the surgeon today... X-ray showed bones aligned properly and healing progressing well. After ten days of little movement... the 14 stairs from the 2nd floor bedroom... a few more to the curb... a quick walk to the car... into the elevator and up to the office... onto the examining table... back to the elevator... over to the car... up the few steps into the house... and up the 14 stairs to the second floor... all with crutches and a brace from hip to ankle... finally back to bed... exhausted... after a short nap his energy and appetite returned. The surgeon will re-examine him one month from now... following that visit... 12 weeks of rehab... a long road to recovery.
Tonites supper a comforting bowl of vegetarian pea soup with the remaining quinoa pie and red cabbage slaw. Pea soup is a favorite... it’s silky mouthfeel and peppery flavor a home run on a chilly night.
Covid 🦠 is kicking our collective butts right now... 14 million known cases in the US alone... 200,000 new reported cases just today! Another 2900 Americans died from covid today... in the next three months we may lose another 50,000 or more souls to this virus... c’mon folks... the simple act of following protocols could save YOUR life or the life of someone you love... please... wear a mask... socialize only with your household... and wash those germy hands. 💕😷
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
