Gee & I thought I hated Liberty Mutual commercials before, these new ones are actually worse. They ALL fail aesthetically, as commerical messages, theme song/jingle. The colors are ugly, the characters unbearable. I hope whatever ad agency does these will go bankrupt one day soon. DESPISE these ads

Lots of new foods as the 6 weeks all clear comes closer. Had a wonderful grilled cheese sandwich today. Planning on meatless lasagna from scratch tomorrow and just popped this in the oven - www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7987/...

tonight’s dinner: shrimp, pork scallion wontons, bok choi, fried tofu and scallion in a ramen broth with hoisin sauce on top

This year's book fairs begin with Confluence at the end of July. We'll have stickers at our table for something fun to pick up while you are book browsing. Come find us in all our usual table locations throughout the year.

now reading. really enjoyed the first in the series so rushed out to get this one.

tonight’s dinner: a variation on the other night’s dinner, this time a pork chop with sautéed onion, apples and peaches with sage and apple cider sauce and lightly cheesed mashed potatoes

what’s for dinner you ask? why gnocchi with chicken apple sausage, sautéed apples and onion, and fresh chopped sage. butter and a splash of apple cider vinegar to deglaze. so nice to be able to cook again and eat things with flavor

dinner tonight is four cheese tortellini with a lemon butter tarragon cream cheese sauce and chicken. also quite nice and welcome after so many weeks of plain fare.

With a direction provided by meditations as I am recovering, suddenly I am working in depth on my next book of poetry in the world of Qila-Kolis.

Baleful sky of omens

audiobook right now is Glory Road by Heinlein, read by Bronson Pinchot of all people. Really engaging and wonderful narrator. No wonder he has won so many audio awards.

now reading. this one is quite good - Attack on Titan meets Pacific Rim meets Sherlock Holmes meets ummm weird middle ages/roman empire plant science/magic

peaceful garden evening

a bit tired tonight after the food poisoning earlier in the week, walking 2.5 miles for the first time in over a month today and weedwacking my small front lawn as a mood booster. but it is a good, solid tired. not a sick tired. mending and recovering day by day.

ok met with blood doctor's PA. the news is I was indeed only stage 2 and no further procedures needed. it was caught in time. I will need a lot of follow up appointments in the next years to monitor my system. For now keep doing what I am. no real diet changes.

really tired of these nights without light. the outage map says we get power back tomorrow after 10pm. been powerless since the 29th

power went out on April 29. latest update says we will not have it back until May 6.

May 7 is the visit to the blood doctor. He is the final dragon to conquer and the current worry. Keep manifesting for me. Otherwise I am recovering very well and am able to drive again.

A reminder about the current KS for my latest solo board game: "Pulp Romance" - 7 days left - www.kickstarter.com/projects/194...

appreciating three specific friends right now who have done so very much. once i can eat again will take them to dinner. can’t ever repay everyone for what you all have done but will at least do something

all moments are slow moments now: listening to birds, sitting under the sun, getting out of bed without pain, looking at what is in the garden, breathing.

hellebore still bold and blooming. looks like the wildflowers i planted in the before days are starting to sprout

fruit trees are doing their thing. yes got home yesterday from the hospital. recovery continues
