Month: March 2021

Made lasagna yesterday and a potato/spinach/cheese casserole today.

A couple of days ago, Ron cut down the grasses, at my request. I raked them up and put them in the truck.

I noticed the truck was leaking oil again and brought it to a shop that is new for us. They seem to have diagnosed the problem that two other shops had missed. It was a mystery to me because the others insisted it was the oil pan or a related part, even though I kept telling the other shops that the engine oil was full.

It’s been quite nice the last couple of days, almost shirtsleeve weather. Tony came over to chat yesterday and dropped off a dog bag kit from the Dollar store.

Physical and online friends posted birthday wishes. I bought myself a half-priced cheesecake. Best event was to have the truck back.

Robert is working in North Falmouth these days and took me to lunch on Friday. Quick but nice chat.

I made a broccoli and cauliflower casserole. It didn’t last long.

Still struggling to get Teddy into either of the vehicles. He doesn’t seem to be scared, but he’s ungainly and the floors are too high for him.

Yesterday Teddy was accosted by an unleashed dog. We were happy he held his own.

Tried to help Em with her Mass ID. Gave up on the RMV website, but was able to book an appointment.

Solved a thorny problem with cacheing a recordset from dotDigital. VS refactoring helped a great deal.

I’m so tired of the cold, and unfortunately, it looks like it’s going to be with us for a while more.

I’ll be happier when we reach full immunity from COVID-19, some time in mid-April. Since we booked our shots, I’ve been looking at various appointment websites, only a handful of which are consolidated. There have been NO appointments for days in our area, even though the Jansen vaccine has been available. We are fortunate to have taken care of this pretty much as soon as we became eligible.

Was dreading the shot, but everything went very well today at CVS/East Falmouth. They were efficient, helpful and kind. Their Smartphone app did grease the wheels.

I’ve lost track of days. Teddy has been very good. He went on 3 and a half walks today, one quite long one with Ron, so I hear. He also – for a second – voluntarily entered the van. More practice tomorrow.

We were extremely fortunate to get our shots. At this hour, MassVax has only two available appointments. None of us have ever seen available appointments for the Cape Cod Healthcare sites.

It’s getting to be a challenge to watch the news. Congressional Republicans are insane and driving the country into the ground. It’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it.

Ron got his first dose of the Moderna vaccine today at Gillette. He said the travel back and forth and the process itself was painless. He crashed after a couple of beers and is having a well-earned nap.

I was able to schedule second shots for both of us at the CVS in East Falmouth.

Teddy has been pretty good today. Got a little whiney a short while ago but otherwise well-behaved, especially on leash. I’ve walked him twice and let him stay out in his run once. It was raining all morning but cleared up mid afternoon or thereabouts.

I’ve had some attempted logins from an IP in Scottsdale to my WordPress site and was advised to file a complaint with GoDaddy.

Have no desire to mess up the kitchen with cooking, which is not good, although I did wash a bunch of greens for salad or soup.

Watched the Merrick Garland confirmation hearing long enough to despise the rank hypocrisy of “Cat Piss” Cruz and Mike “Mulligan” Lee and on the other hand, to be grateful for Sheldon Whitehouse, Amy Klobuchar, Dick Durbin and Richard Blumenthal, who responded to the right-wing obstructionists with the measured contempt that they deserve. Schedule for confirmation vote by the full Senate to be announced shortly.
