Wednesday morning greetings!

Did DR Ginny and Richard get home safely?

We did, indeed, DR Elmore, but it was an adventure.  We left Charlotte’s house in a snow shower that quickly developed into serious snowfall.  We visited a Honda dealership in NW Indiana for new wiper blades and the weather conditions improved significantly during that stop. 

I am glad conditions improved while you obtained new wipers.  I half expected you to stay an extra day.

It has indeed been a morning of hell. Difficult phone call about the recording project, difficult phone call with the person causing the problems, dropping things, juggling too many financial disasters, added to the fact that standing is unbearably uncomfortable and walking is torture on my right leg.

I hate my life.

So sorry to hear about the General Eliot closing, Jane.

Thank you.  I am very grateful it was still open when we were there.  The family home down the road was gone.  A nice local told us approximately where it had been as it is now a nice subdivision.

It is very loud here as a cutter/grinder, something is used to get the windows out in order to re-glaze them.

I forgot to add the final blow: one of the cats decided to vomit at the goot of the kitchen sink and I stepped into it in my bare feet.

A pediatrician at Texas Children's Hospital along with a Baylor College professor have developed a covid vaccine which can be mass-produced and used across the globe.  India has approved it for emergency use.  https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-pediatrician-professor-developed-low-004105672.html

Texas Children's Hospital is not making a profit on this.  I hope it makes a difference.

It is rather cold in here and getting colder by the minute.  I had to put slippers on over my socks.

I am enjoying Stanley Tucci’s Taste. I may have to get my own copy for the recipes. Yes, it includes how to make Timpano.

DR Jane, I would have suggested that, but I knew how much Mary Linda was looking forward to having the day to herself.  Rob went to work, Charlotte went to daycare, and Mary Linda didn’t have to work.  She didn’t need us hanging around.

There’s no work to be done, so I am trying to get ahead on classes I’m supposed to take. Except the class I’m on is going over I already do.

I drove down the street perpendicular to mine and noticed fall trees on one side with leaves of red, yellow and brown while the trees on the other side were showing plenty of spring green. Very strange.

Yes, if Charlotte wasn't there you might as well leave.

It is 34 degrees outside.  I am surprised it is 60 degrees inside my office as it feels much colder.

I took a muscle relaxer around noon, and then spent the next two hours in a semi-comatose state. I finally dragged myself out of bed to feed the cats around 2:30.

Well, I feel really stupid!  I just found out that CODA is an acronym for Child of Deaf Adult. i just thought that the film's title was an arcane reference to the film's musical themes.
