Shabbat Shalom

I did some running around today, Mom. For some reason my check was held on "pending" for two days.  It should have been clear midnight into the 3rd but wasn't released until LATE yesterday.  WTH?

Jackie wasn't up to errands so I go to go in search of a new coffee maker for her and cat food.  Once again Big Lots was out of puppy pads. That's the third month in a row.  We just hope Fred's has a large bag at the reduced price.  

I seem to be having trouble accepting that you're gone, Mom.  I couldn't have stood there watching you take your last breath. How does that happen? It was surreal.  You're not here to help make decisions about the house, the bills, to see things as they get ready for spring.  To encourage me through this stomach stuff.

Damnit

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
