4 hours and 59 minutes til I’m a half century. Please, refrain from birthday wishes.
Puppies! The big 5-0 was a difficult one for me. Took it hard for a while.
Now, 15 years later, it seems like I might have over reacted. [winking]
*Beer Braised Pot Roast with all the trimmings tonight. Same tomorrow night.
* I came last Thursday to my daughter’s in Alexandria to help out for a few days. Then the world went into a different dimension. I am still here helping out by taking care of the boys downstairs, while she works from home upstairs. I am so glad I am in a position to do this for the duration. She has told me multiple times she is so grateful to have my help, but can’t help but worry about being the annoying mother/mother-in-law who is just always there! Spend most evenings in my room watching Xfinity Stream to give them some time alone.
* On a related note, their other grandmother took them to her house for the day, so I ventured out to the grocery to get pot roast ingredients after not leaving the house since I got here. I was so so careful to follow all the safety rules, but then at the store I realized that no matter how careful some of us are the dim wits are going to screw this up for everyone. Whole families, mother father multiple kids just frolicking through the store touching everything running into people. I understand if you are a single caregiver who must have supplies and you have to take your child or children with you, but for God’s sake people, send only one person if you have another parent available to stay home with the kids. Also, everyone talking about how deserted the roads etc look...not in Alexandria, KY. It looked like traffic as usual to me!
