Hanging On

March 22nd, 2020 at 11:27 am

Still struggling with the vestiges of this disease, whatever it is that I have -- the cough hangs on. My chest is clearer. My fever has never amounted to much.

I got on Amazon to order a book I was interested in, and found that it is not available in the near future. Then I thought, well, I'll order some Tylenol while I'm here, and it was out of stock! I understand that they are inundated, but it did surprise me. I added Tylenol to my grocery list and I hope I can get it come Thursday morning.

I finally finished "A Storm of Swords" and I'm going to take a break from living in Westeros for a while. I have a light Sophie Kinsella book on hand, and after I finish that I have a thriller by Lynda LePlante. I know there are some e-books downloaded to my phone that I have never gotten around to. If I don't like those I will explore Libby, though I'm guessing it's overloaded, too.

I watched "The Farewell" yesterday on Amazon Prime -- good movie! I've taken a break from "The Walking Dead" because it's just too dark for right now.

Financially, I've lost more than $4K this month in my retirement fund. I know that's nothing compared to others, but it's big for me. The good news is that I have no immediate need for it, and I trust that in future it will recover.

We're getting snow this afternoon -- a wet one that won't stay, but still! I'm going to do my strength training routine today. When the weather moderates, I'll get back to walking. At least it is getting out of the house.

Have to figure out how to revitalize the baked mac & cheese I made the other day. I heated up a serving in the microwave and it was dry, dry, dry. Maybe add milk and cheese and bake it again? It was so good the first day!

    Yes, make a new cheese sauce to cover the dry mac and cheese. I hope you feel better soon!

    Good Luck CB in getting the Tylenol. I tried getting Excedrin today and both the Cub grocery store and the Target store where I shopped were out. I was really surprised to find that so many of the over the counter drugs and other medicines were out at those two stores. I guess my next shop will be Walgreens. I don't know what to expect.

    We always add milk and cheese and stir it in before microwaving. It makes a big difference. Any pasta that has a dairy base needs it.

    Thanks, guys! It's been so long since I made real mac & cheese -- the grandsons always demand Kraft. I added milk and cheese yesterday and heated it up in the oven. It came out nice and creamy -- and kind of sweet! I found I had bought vanilla almond milk by mistake! Aauuggh! Today I will try to make it more savory by adding mustard.
