After hours, it seems, of slicing, chopping, and dicing, Monday my hands hurt and were stiff. That effort was focused on one dish--potato salad. Somehow, typing does not hurt me at all since I use a light touch on the keys. But, my hands and fingers feel clumsy. What is this? Old age? Guess so. sigh
For lunch I had potato salad and a chicken tender. Then, for dessert I had potato salad. I have not made potato salad in years. I have had it at dinners, but it was never mine, so not so tasty. It seems Tommy not liking potato salad has caused me not to make it. No More! I will make and dip his out before eggs and Miracle Whip are added. Another thing--the relishes are not as good in potato salad as gherkins and dill chips diced.
The hummingbird feeder is out. I have procrastinated since there were storms when I wanted to put it out. I noticed my neighbor down the street left hers out all winter and now she has taken them in to wash. Who has their hummingbird feeder out yet? Have you had a hummingbird yet?
My whole body hurts, not just my hands! All this celebrating is rough. I have a clothes basket of dishtowels and dishcloths to fold, so that is my big ambition for today. I need to start working again on the table to my left. I can see the surface of the table due to other days of decluttering, so this should be easy. Do you ever work on layers when decluttering flat surfaces? It is like an archaeological dig.
We watch Jeopardy every day. Right now, it is on and it pains me to watch Ken Jennings. I don't like him. He is not funny as he thinks he is and insults the intelligence of players. I am shocked at things he says. However, I love the game. But, there is one category I just cannot answer. It is the type question where two answers are smushed together. Forgot the name of it, but I am baffled most of the time. It is not that I don't know the answers that are smushed together, I just don't know it is happening and usually end up with both answers, wondering what is the correct answer to the question.
Tuesday now. The new neighbors have TWO dogs that bark too much. More on that later.
