Progress

 I am doing a deep sort of all the photos that I have with me.   I brought a huge tote of photos with me.  I will guess that I brought about 3,000 photos with me.  I am making progress.  I have begun the sort for our own album/albums.  I have mostly finished with our daughter's albums. So there is forward progress. 

It all takes time.  Since we have a few less Doctor appointments I do have some time.  I discovered that I should have brought Far Guy's album with me to redo...alas it is back at home.  Oh well I will get to it someday.  In the meantime photos that should be included in his album are being sorted.

Some things you even forget you have.  Like this old postcard photo taken back before there were zip codes...there were other codes...E84E  what ever that means.  We owned this resort from 1987 to 1995.  So it is a bit of our history.   I would guess the photo was taken in the 1940's -1950's.

Interesting that the old metal glider was there.  Far Guy took off the old paint and repainted it and put new wood on it and it was just like new and people used it all the time:) FYI the photograph must have been taken at the waters edge or else the photographer stood in the water. 

Far Guy's Infusion went well...only one stick for the IV !  I went to Aldi and bought fruit. 

Minnesota weather; High was 29 F or -2C  Low was 13F or -11C.  Nice weather for January.  However every place you walk there is ice.  Oh well January is only 1/3 done we still have time for a brutal Minnesota Winter!

Quiet Day on Thursday

 We had a quiet day on Thursday.  I slept late as we had no place to be. I did some laundry, cleaned out a drawer and a cabinet in the kitchen (if I do one a day soon they will all be cleaned out before you know it) and worked on my photo album project.  Far Guy and I watched a movie in the afternoon.  I do appreciate quiet days!

Far Guy's weekly infusions have been switched to Friday mornings for all of January. 

We had leftovers for supper...no cooking only warming up.  Soup is often better on the second day anyway! 

Minnesota weather: It rained.  High was 28 F or -2C  Low was 2F or -17C eh!

Books, Blue Sky and Back

 I read Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson.   It is about the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Philadelphia through the eyes of a teenager.  It is Historical Fiction.

It was an easy read.  I give it an 8 out of a 10. 

I made vegetable beef soup for supper.  It was really good.  

It was a nice day with blue skies and sunshine. 

Minnesota weather; High 36 F or 2C Low was 23F or -5C eh!

My MRI results are back and there is nothing wrong in my back that requires surgery.  I will continue with PT and I have an appointment with a pain management Doctor.  The PT says I should never stand still but shift my weight back and forth when standing. At the present time I am taking 10 mg of Prednisone every day as recommended by my Rheumatologist.  I failed the Methotrexate that he prescribed last month...it gave me tremors. What can I say I am complicated.

Still Frosty

 Frosty again yesterday.  

Far Guy played chauffeur and dropped me off at the grocery store door and picked me up again when I was done. 

Supper last night was pretzel bun hamburger Philly cheese,  Yukon Gold smashed potatoes with cheese and for fruit grapes and kiwi fruit.   Can you tell I cooked...I do like potatoes most anyway they are made. The small Yukon Golds are boiled then smashed (I should have used parchment paper or a silicone mat instead of aluminum foil) anyway top the smashed potato with a bit of butter and cheese then pop into the oven for awhile. 

I worked on my photo album project in the afternoon. Jen's album is pretty much done.  Old empty albums tossed in the trash 2. 

Minnesota weather; High 22F or -6C  Low was 17F or -8C eh!  Mighty fine weather for January!

Frosty

 It was frosty here on Monday, I heard it rained a bit and it was slippery out in the early morning. 

I made it to my PT appointment just fine.  I am tired ...but that is nothing new. 

I spent the afternoon sorting photos and getting up to stretch and walk around every little bit.  Far Guy watched Movies on his I pad. 

We had leftover calzones for supper.  

Minnesota weather: Frosty  High 28F or -2C  Low was 21F or -6C  eh!   Nice weather for January!
