1) Gorgeous weather for a long lunch outdoors with wife’s nephew and his new wife in #Gaithersburg.
2) Afternoon homemade hazelnut cake & coffee with friends & mother-in-law, followed by a walk in balmy weather.
3) Kiddo coming out of her shell with people. Love it when others get to see how funny and sharp she is.
Three good things for today: 3/30/2025
1. Coffee
2. Antihistamines
3. Visine eye drops
1. Garden is coming to life!
2. Got a bunch of washing done today.
3. Had some vegetables for dinner for the first time in days!
Pfannkuchen waren früher das einzige Gericht, zu dem mein Vater nie Wasser, sondern immer Wein getrunken hat, weil ihm das sonst direkt auf den Magen geschlagen ist. Mir hat das jahrzehntelang nichts ausgemacht. Aber nach zwei schlechten Erfahrungen mit Pfannkuchen und Wasser habe ich heute stattdessen ein Glas warmen Tee dazu getrunken (da ich keinen Alkohol trinke). Das fand mein Magen okay.
Das Kind liebt Trampoline. Heute waren wir an einem Ort, wo ein Trampolin war. Durch das schöne Licht konnte ich viele lustige Fotos mit kurzer Belichtungszeit machen, auf denen das Kind in schrägen Posen mit witzigen Gesichtsausdrücken in der Luft zu schweben scheint. Hat Spaß gemacht, sie gerade noch mal anzuschauen und die pure Begeisterung zu sehen.
Das Kind schläft. Beim Schlafmanagement haben wir uns heute nicht selbst übertroffen: Wir haben nicht früher geweckt, weil wir beide selbst müde waren. Es kam zu einem Mittagsschlaf, den wir nicht wirklich verhindern konnten (aber früher hätten abbrechen sollen). Und das Kind hatte tagsüber so wenig gegessen, dass es bei der Einschlafbegleitung Hunger bekam und eine Banane serviert werden musste. Aber jetzt schläft es und darüber bin ich froh. (Dass morgen Montag ist und wir ein wohl übermüdetes, unmotiviertes Kind in die Kita zerren müssen, ist eine Sorge für morgen.)

Three good things today:
1. A successful guided walk in the floodplain forest with friends from the zen sangha and other people. Also walking meditation. Tea together in the field.The forest is full of flowers. This is the peak of the spring flower season.
2. Online conversation with brother.
3. A bath full of hot water.
#ThreeGoodThings that were still here this morning because I forgot to hit the publish button last night.
I went into town today for the first time in yonks and
1. Went to a spooky, macabre art market and bought some spooky and macabre things (and a Miss Piggy pin up)
2. Met my parents and they made me wear the Star Wars Mickey Mouse ears they brought back from Disneyworld (I suspect for the express purpose of making me wear them in public) which was fun
3. The Beef made homemade burgers and I love him and also burgers and maybe not being anaemic soon
1) spilled coffee did not hit anything that would be damaged
2) bought new Keen hiking shoes at REI yesterday
3) partner and I walked around a local mall which felt like exploring ancient history
Today:
- we visited a friend and were warmly welcomed by his little cat
- the bulk of what we ate was fruit and vegetables from our garden
- we went for a walk around the block (5 kms) in the early evening
* I managed to walk to and from church this morning - including going UP the stairs o' doom without destroying myself
* The monarch caterpillars are getting big on our swan plant, and there's a chrysalis developing!
* I made a floor cushion cover for my study and it's all velvety and cosy
Today:
- I’m still not well, but I’m not any worse and I’m pretty sure now that it’s just a cold/sinus infection
- I went for a short walk and got home just before it rained
- I’ve spent most of the day in the most comfy chair accompanied by cats, a book, knitting and the internet
Watching YouTube Japanese cat cafe travel videos with Hubby. Bemused when he referred to a Munchkin kitty as 'that low rider over there'. Not gonna let that one go.
Bella is again zonked out with her face crammed into Hubby's smelly old shoe, lovin' that stinky feet perfume. This also bemuses me.
Cooking, cooking, all day long, but lots of good grub for Mom next week, plus more in the freezer. Tomorrow, more food prep, but less intensive. Worth it!
