What was the high point of your day? 2.0

My brother, who I haven't seen in over a month, came over for a visit today. We wore medical masks as we sat in my den for a two-hour chat, but that didn't detract from the enjoyment of our visit. He left before noon so he'd be home in time for lunch. I was in good spirits for the rest of the day.

I’m stuck in Alabama for six more years

They can come join me in Huntsville 

Oh, dear, the horror stories I hear about the state of Alabama.

The muddy footpaths are drying out so I had a lovely long walk with the dogs through the fields with bright blue skies and sunshine. It was so warm I had to take my jacket off and stroll about in my t-shirt (and jeans, for those of you sniggering at the back). Two tired out mutts are now fast asleep on their dog beds.

Last night my left knee was hurting me so bad I didn't get to sleep until about 3:00 a.m. I had a hard time walking around the house today and, for the most part, took it easy and watched DVD's. I finally got some relief by late afternoon. I just got up a short while ago and took my meds. Most of the knee pain is gone, but there is still a bit of stiffness. Arthritis is a bitch.

The last couple of weeks I've been staying at my mom's house as a result of the storm and the damage it's caused. We've had some really good talks and so rather than saying it's the high-point of my day, I'm just grateful that the last two weeks we've had plenty of good nights talking and touching base.

My rice cooker came with a rather rudimentary manual, which was one of the more frequent criticisms of the unit on Amazon. I don't remember offhand where I threw the manual, so I googled to see if there was a copy I could grab off the internet. The first link I clicked was a manual for this exact rice cooker, only under Best Buy's Insignia house brand. It's a little better than the original manual that came with the unit, including defaults and recommended settings. Chouette!

It's a tie:  I got an unexpected check, and our taxes are done.


And then I put a new insurance card in my wallet and found seven dollars!

I just got home from a double-shift at work.

I was feeling nauseous after running upstairs and downstairs collecting tools and materials for a project, but after I got it finished I sat down to meditate for half an hour. Felt amazingly better.
