Just like old times

I can roll through the kitchen & dining rooms from either doorway. I'm going to try restraining the damaged cabinet drawer fronts and doors, if we ever have a few days without storms. Pretty sure I can handle it. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ I've been a bit puny lately, having chills most afternoons. Maybe the anemia? Just to gather data, I thought I should take my temp the next time the chills set in. As usual, there was a small problem: the battery in the thermometer had died. Thank goodness I have a thoughtful caregiver; she got another thermometer from her closet. And yes indeed, I was feverish. So..call primary care physician? Or one of the specialists I see? Or just go to a clinic, maybe get a Covid test. The last thing I'd do would be a visit to the ER, welcome to Covidland. For those of us Stephen King fans. there's a scary echo of Captain Trips in our daily lives. ☆☆☆☆▪︎▪︎ Despite puniness, I did knit a few rows on the chair cover. Not that it is fantastic. being 100% garter stitch in scrap yarns. I feel better having made about 6 rows & changed color.

Huzzah!!

Back in January, the Plaidman accidently destroyed our built-in oven. It was a mess, and had to be replaced. Measurements were taken, but failed to account for overhanging lips of the countertop. We spent almost 1K on a very nifty oven. that can even connect with our WiFi. but which could not be pushed back against the wall. This elephant sat in the middle of the kitchen. cutting off my access from the living room to the kitchen, until today! We had a handyman come in, cut the countertop as needed, move one small stack of drawers. and Voila! push the oven into the enlarged space between the counters. I'm thrilled. A side bonus was that Disco & Plaidman worked to get everything off the counters & run through the dishwasher--no dirty dishes in sight. Plaidman & I first swept, then mopped the kitchen & dining room tile floors. Next mission: get the fridge cleaned. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆£☆☆ Last week I had an issue (AGAIN!) with getting my med refilled, but managed to get an actual person on the phone & got it sorted. That came today; so did a book from Thriftbooks; and a yarn order from Darn Good Yarn. It feels like Christmas in August.
