    Mum ‘borrowed’ my grey pearl earrings this morning (note to self: NEVER leave my jewellery in the bathroom for sticky fingers to acquire), then went to get ready for Church. Now one of the earrings is missing & I’m feeling cross – I’ve only worn them twice myself! She has a habit of doing this but the missing items usually turn up.

    My question for the day: How can one young dog produce so much poo! I’ve had to help my sister out this week as she’s put her back out & because she can’t walk the dog in the fields, it’s been a case of picking up poo from her yard. I’ve just been down there to collect said poo & there’s buckets of it – give me a cat any day!

    I got online this evening to find a recipe for Chicken Carbonara that I thought I had bookmarked, I had not, only to find that not only do I not have enough heavy cream for the recipe, but I also bought the wrong meat. I bought proscuitto, and it calls for pancetta. So I will have to do a bit more shopping tomorrow to get what I need.

    Another day of leaving the house at 6.30am but I was back by 10 so that wasn’t too bad. The weather was really bad though – like Janet Leigh driving through the rain in Psycho! Then tonight my choir took part in a concert to raise funds for Gambia. A group goes out each year from one of the local schools to help to build schools & hospitals etc. in one of the world’s poorest countries.

    Well I feel guilty because I live in Southern California and it is gorgeous today. Blue skies and sunny. However, we do have a major drought and I am seeing my city change from a green city to a brown city. Seriously, unless you are rich, people have stopped having grass lawns.
    That is depressing to me because I love nature and we are becoming a dry desert (which we always have been).

    I left the house at 6.30 this morning to get to an appointment in a hospital in Dublin. When I eventually got there at 10 it was to be told that they had no record of my appt. AGH! ‘What about the letter I got? And the 2 text reminders on my phone?’ Well, I know it wasn’t the receptionists fault but I really could have thrown a wobbly right there & then. ‘A clerical error’ … NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!

    On Friday I took a prescription for my mom to the pharmacy, and was told they didn’t have enough to fill it and that it would be ready by the next day. Well, the big storm came through Friday night and most of Saturday. So my mom went to pick it up on Sunday only to be told they weren’t able to fill it, because their delivery trucks hadn’t come yet (also because of the storm), so today my sister and I went to go pick it up and it was finally ready.

Like always a frustrating difficult traumatic event and it never works out how I feel it should.

    On Saturday I decided that since I was basically snowed in, I would bake some brownies. Now I don’t know about you, but I love, love, love the edges of brownies far more than the middle. I just like the harder, chewier texture. So I decided to change it up a bit. I mixed up a box of milk chocolate brownie mix, chopped up some pecans to add to the batter, and instead of pouring it into your average baking pan, I decided to use a mini muffin tin. I put about a tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin spot, and topped it with a whole pecan. Seeing as how there are no baking instructions for such a pan, I was just winning it. I think I ended up leaving it bake for about 23-24 minutes. They were lovely while hot, but they turned quite hard once they cooled. I was a bit disappointed, but they still tasted good. I followed up the pecan brownies by a batch of plain, and baked them for the same amount of time. After the brownies were cooled I put them in a ziplock bag. Today (Monday, two days after baking the brownies) they are perfect! Just the chewiness I was hoping for, and I am loving them, far more than I really should. Mmm, mmm, mmm!

    It’s been a pretty laid back day so far, knock on wood. I’m hoping that the storm, or blizzard as they are now calling it, will basically miss us, but I also hope that for those areas that it will hit hard, that people are indoors staying warm and safe, and hopefully will not be out on the roads, as I saw the news today showing a small amount of snow on the D.C. metro roads and a whole lot of accidents caused by just a small amount of snow, and they are in the path of the blizzard.

    I spent the night tossing & turning with a temperature & gave up around 7am. I couldn’t find any paracetamol till Mum got up 10ish and since then have managed a couple of hours sleep.
    However, the good news is that my audition for Oliver! went really well & I’m in! I’ve sung in choirs etc. all my life & in the local Panto since we moved here 12 years ago but I have never been able to sing on stage. After Dad’s sudden death last year, one of my ’16s resolutions was to just throw caution to the wind & go for it! And let’s face it, at my age (closer to 60 than 40!) does anyone really care?

    I’ve had to make a few phone calls to try to keep my mom on liquid oxygen, because the oxygen concentrators that they want her to go on instead are not suitable for her needs. Batteries that only last 2 hours, having to carry extra batteries to make sure that she will not run out of oxygen while she’s out shopping, or doctor’s appointments. It’s frustrating, because the liquid oxygen just makes more sense! So now she will have to change suppliers, and who knows, we may end up having to go through all of this all over again.

    Took my mom to the doctor’s, because she’s been having a lot of stomach and chest pain the last few days. He suspects a possible ulcer, so he put her on a new medicine to see if that helps, and if not, she may have to have a scope procedure done. Hoping it doesn’t come to that.

    Brrr! Baby it’s cold outside! I shoveled a couple of driveways this morning, went out to lunch with my eldest sister, and once I got home I went to fill the bird feeder. That also meant putting a couple of suet packs on the sides of the feeder for the woodpeckers as well as bird seed for the rest of the birds. I couldn’t get the suet packs open with gloves on, so I took them off to do that, and my fingers were froze after just two minutes being uncovered. Windchill was below zero and the wind was a whipping!

    A dress that I bought on eBay before Christmas finally arrived and it’s fab (even if I do say so myself) so that’s good. It hasn’t rained so I was able to get lots done tidying up (again) after the most recent storm and that’s good. And tonight is the opening night of Puss In Boots at the Gorey Little Theatre so that’s good as well! All in all a pretty good day! ps: still some seats available next week if anyone fancies a great night’s entertainment & you happen to be in the Wexford, Ireland area!!!

    My sister and I took the car to get the 4-wheel drive fixed. We were told it would take an hour to replace a module. We were there nearly 4 hours. The module wasn’t the only issue. The also had to replace some motor, but they had a used one lying around the shop that they put in, and didn’t charge for it. So that’s fixed. Now let’s hope we don’t need to use it this winter.

    I had to make a few calls, to get some of my mom’s health insurance issues dealt with. Managed to get some answers, but not all of them. And even, somehow, managed to get contradictory answers to the same question from two different people from the insurance company. I’ll have to work out some things with her doctor, probably tomorrow, but I also have to go get the 4-wheel drive on the car fixed.

    So my sister took the car to the shop, thinking that when they rebuilt the transmission, they just forgot to reconnect the 4-wheel drive, and that’s why it wasn’t working. So they look at it, and it was connected, and they said that it was a faulty module, which will cost $225. This after a $2,100 transmission rebuild. 🙁 Boy do I need to win the lottery!

During our drive we chatted about how we would use the other winnings from the contest for a mini staycation: overnight in a great hotel, dinner at a popular restaurant and high tea the next day.

    Well, today my mom and my eldest sister decided to go out to lunch. We were going to stop at Wendy’s, and on my way in I found a few plastic spoons propping open the door. So I turned back to my family and asked them to make sure to put the spoons back when they came in. I get in there to find there are no lights on in the dining area. I ask if they are open, and I’m told not until noon (we had over an hour to wait), so we decided to go somewhere else, who also was not opened yet, but when they saw us in the parking lot they unlocked the doors and allowed us to come in anyway (how nice of Arby’s). And this afternoon my twin sister and I are going to catch a matinee of Joy (the movie with Jennifer Lawrence). So that’s my day so far. I’m sorry, but you did say to ramble.
