My sister in central TX got through it without losing either as well. <br />There are many days when I feel like I'm hanging on by a thin thread until we can get vaccinated and resume a normal-ish life. We'll still wear masks when out in public, and not gather indoors with a bunch of people, but we can have our son sit at the dinner table with us instead of across the room on the sofa with a tray, and I can hug him again. I so look forward to that.

One of our favorites. But I want to try with this dressing.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-56215801219854190542021-02-25T20:03:45.874-06:002021-02-25T20:03:45.874-06:00Very glad you made it through the storm with minim...Very glad you made it through the storm with minimal difficulties.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-84875384344270207392021-02-25T18:59:26.826-06:002021-02-25T18:59:26.826-06:00I really hate metal lamp shades, so avoid them.

Very smart to have those freezer meals and then be able to microwave them. I package up things like soups and chilis and stews in freezer containers mainly for Brian to take to work, as he works 12-hour shifts.<br /><br />That simple salad sounds so good and refreshing. I can't wait to make more salads like that in the summer when tomatoes are home-grown. <br /><br />I think we're all getting Covid-weary. Unfortunately, one of the things media isn't really addressing is the mental toll this pandemic is taking on people. Mental illness issues - anxiety, depression, overdoses and suicides - are way up. <br /><br />I have found one thing that helps is to engage in conversation with people when you are out. Of course, masked up and at a social distance. I think we're all feeling so out of touch with human contact. For example, this morning when I had my cat at the vet's office, I had a lovely conversation with two other women that were in the waiting room. We were all masked (as required by law here in IL) and easily 8 ft away from each other, but we had a great convo about our pets. When we all went our separate ways, we all wished each other a wonderful day. It boosted my mood and I hope it did for the other ladies, too.<br /><br />Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.com
