Happy Thoughts

We may have a small piece of good news on the mom front. Send those happy thoughts her way, if you’re so inclined.

Fingers crossed.

Hell, I’m even going to post a freakin’ emoji like some Jr High school kid:

Astral Traveler

I’ve seen a couple of things online over the last few days that reference a Yes song from the second album that I’ve always wanted to figure out but I never quite nailed.

It’s time.

TV Rabbit

Patches watched TV with us upstairs. PatchRabbit watches with us downstairs.

Family TV Night

Hello and welcome to tonight’s family TV-by-the-fake-fireplace night.

TV Cat

We are finally getting caught up on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Patches is enchanted.

Drive

Jen and I went for a drive today. You wouldn’t think that was a huge deal but there it is. We drove to Danvers and back. In full pandemic mode, we didn’t go anywhere, we just drove there and drove back.

It was magnificent.

It made me a smidge late for my lunch but it was okay. I took a water bottle with me so I could keep sipping. Puréed tuna fish for lunch, puréed meatball for dinner.

It’s been a good day. Tuesday should be the day when I graduate to solid food. I’m good for now, but I’m feeling pretty ready to chew stuff again.

Sgt Angel

The Japanese Peace Lilly can’t seem to decide if it is dying or thriving. One leaf turns brown and another one sprouts. It’s crazy.

Read

I did something tonight that I haven’t done since I started wearing bifocals.

I sat down, put on some music, and read a book.

Weird, huh? I guess my new glasses, which are a year old, play nicely with reading on my iPad. Who knew?

Meatball

Mmmm, puréed meatball. Yummy!

The Best Glass

Now that my last Lowell Devils beer glass has died an unceremonious death in the dishwasher (as few days ago. There was an understated yet tasteful memorial service), this is now the coolest drinking glass in the house.
