I swooped into Salon 151 yesterday to pay Janine for her gorgeous photo/fundraiser.  She cut Ron’s hair today.

My letter to the Editor praising the Town Manager and Town Treasurer and knocking the inept School Department was published in today’s Enterprise.

Brought magazines to Peter and did a small grocery shop.  Smoothies and leftovers for supper.

Snow is predicted for this weekend, so we cut back the ornamental grasses at Edgewater.

That accounts for a major part of Spring cleanup in that yard, so glad to have it out of the way.

The truck was fixed at Cormier’s, new ignition coil as expected.  Didn’t charge for the scan because it matched the FIXD!

Ron donated blood yesterday at Bayada in Falmouth.

We did more than usual for Valentine’s Day. A new assisted living facility in town hosted a chocolate and smooth jazz hour at the Senior Center. We enjoyed both; salad for lunch and supper.

Stir fry and rice tonight.

Another non-productive day.

Made cinnamon French toast for breakfast and veggie burgers for lunch. Burgers (mushrooms and refried beans) weren’t very good, won’t do this again. Pizza for supper, feels like lead. Another day of insatiable hunger.

Called PETA and got in touch with the Enterprise and with the Mashpee Friends on behalf of the coyote hunt protesters. PETA was familiar with the goings-on, said they’d send info to their response team. Enterprise is planning to run a story.

Sent a letter to the editor of the Enterprise praising Mr. Collins. Posted on FB, too; good response.

It rained all day yesterday and part of this morning.

I went with Ron for a consult with his doctor.

Hungry all day. Couldn’t manage to stave the pangs.

Truck engine light went on. Stalled 2-3 times, so I called Peter to give Robert a ride.

We plowed through the grasses today; exhausting.

Dropped off a pound of fudge for Bonnie’s birthday and two lemonades to the boys at iCape.

Don fixed our needlenose pliers and refused payment.

Visited the “Dance for a Cure” fundraiser at the high school. So much joy, what a pleasure.

I dropped off a thank you card to Judy in the Town Clerk’s office for her help with our passport applications and changed my voter registration to Republican.

Dropped off some brochures and flyers from the Conservation Office to Jeff, the outdoor adventure coordinator, at LL Bean.

Heavy vegetable soup with tortellini and salad for lunch. Ron cleaned up and is working on supper, chickpeas and broccoli.

Been raining, heavy at times. Not a good day for outdoor work.

Made appointments for us at OCB in Wareham.

Yesterday, Ron got the folding extension ladder he’s been wanting, on sale at Harbor Freight, and a ladder stabilizer at Home Depot.

I worked on tax inputs all day and finished this morning.

Like a distracted fool, I closed the BofA account that Peter was using to deposit rent without saving off the statements. A nice person at the Falmouth branch ran them off for me today.

I worked hard last year and made decent coin, but aside from paying off credit cards, taxes and propping up Edgewater, have not a good idea of where the money went.

In any event, we are back from a meeting with our tax preparer and we are unscathed for yet another year. Today is National Yogurt Day, and our local shop is doing a 2 for 1, so we stopped to celebrate on the way home.

Ron and I accepted the reality that we are unemployable, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is our physical condition:  between the two of us, we have one semi-good back and two pretty good legs.

We are hopeful that our biggest burden, Edgewater, will be lifted off our shoulders this Spring.

I finally learned how to update a stored procedure in Entity Framework.

Made oven-baked falafel for lunch.  Not bad, not difficult.

Had a small snow shower this morning.

Back to normal temperatures.  Fair accumulation yesterday, enough for Ron to use the snow blower and loan it to Joe.

I had a full day: drove Robert to work, dropped off kindling at Emma’s (and got homemade bread and muffins as a gift!), got my eye examined by Dr. vonHaam, picked up groceries at Shaw’s and OTC meds at Walmart.

Helped Ron put together burritos for supper.  Cleaned up the kitchen while he brought Robert home.
