My legs, arms and ankles hurt. Snow removal yesterday and continued today; not much today besides trying to clear the top of Ron’s van, a major pain, and I’m feeling it.

We got the transfer station run done, don’t ask how, I was half asleep, if not physically, then mentally. Did laundry, changed sheets.

Ron chainsawed some branches that were hitting the new siding. No damage here or at Edgewater, thank goodness.

Last week was Bonnie’s birthday or more correctly, un-birthday, the anniversary of Judy’s death, income tax docs, refi docs. Washing machine, dishwasher. High school drama production, Science Before Supper lecture. Ron did his bit last night for the WH Folk Music Society. Oh, and we gave blood.

I went on a video binge the entire weekend; that is, unless I was removing snow: Downton Abbey, Moyers and Company, almost the entire first season of The Wire, House of Cards.

Prescriptive easement argument today with next door neighbor.

Service fees to repair the washing machine and diagnose the dishwasher.

New dishwasher.

Appraisal inspection.

Driveway plowing.

Ron is off to the Woods Hole Folk Music Society.

We blew off the whole day yesterday, watched almost the entire first season of “The Wire”.

Blizzard conditions are predicted for later today and tonight. A shame, since so much snow has melted and it’s been nice to see the ground.

United Wholesale Mortgage approved our financial status, and we’re waiting to hear from Peter so we can schedule the appraisal inspection.

We’ve been making a divine salad dressing out of used avocados, plain Greek yogurt, olive oil and garlic.

Omelet this morning with tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, avocado, cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt.

Sent paperwork to Mike for refi and to Larry for taxes.

Visited Judy’s grave on the 12th. No headstone yet. I’m glad we went.

Attended an excellent “Science Before Supper” last night about the creatures that live on plastic debris in the ocean.

JR repaired the washing machine earlier this week, then we noticed that the dishwasher seems to have croaked. Jamie is working on it now.

It’s Valentine’s Day.

JR repaired our ancient washing machine today, replaced a worn gasket.  He thinks the machine is in good shape otherwise.

We loaded up on bagels yesterday so skipped the Senior Center today.

I made nytimes.com!

The New Bedford Symphony concert was fabulous.  Spanish theme that featured a superb guitarist, Jason Vieaux.  We sat next to one of their violists, who’s on leave following shoulder surgery.

I bought tickets for the next concert, in April.  Same section, same row, end seats.

I was nervous about getting there and back; in snow, a 45 minute drive can turn into hours.  We lucked out for weather, though, and Ron got us home without incident.  It was great to wake up in our own house instead of a motel.

We dropped by Mahoney’s farmers market earlier in the day for Organic Farm bacon, spinach and turnip.

Robert came over on Sunday afternoon to prepare a birthday meal for Bonnie.  She emailed and said she didn’t want anything, so we have chocolate bread pudding for the freezer!  We made eggplant parm, too.  Had a nice visit with Robert, including a game of Scrabble.

Suffocating, panic attack thinking of the lyrics to “Come Saturday Morning” from the 1969 film “The Sterile Cuckoo”.  Made me cry.  Its “too cool for school” message is a little too close to home.

Ron assures me that Saturday doesn’t have to end for us.

I asked Ron if we could leave the Falmouth Democrat Town Committee meeting before it even started.

I was horrified to find that most of the O-F Steering Committee are members.

I was so aggravated by the close-minded attitude, rampant disinformation and self-centered whining that I feared getting into a fist fight – on local television.

Ron was gracious enough to bring us home so that I could go to the annual “Death by Chocolate” jazz concert at Barnstable High School.  It’s an elegant event with a red and black theme, set up like a jazz club with cafe tables and plates of exquisite desserts.  There are some accomplished musicians there: a vocal jazz ensemble, the string orchestra, the jazz lab, and the jazz combo.  I especially enjoyed the jazz ensemble.  Even won a gift certificate to Pain d’Avignon!

Ron stayed home and watched a Japanese martial arts film.
