Everything came back all clear. And the tech who did the mammogram was SO nice and thoughtful, gentle…really made it a lot better.

The conversation view in Outlook has been life changing for me.
Working on reducing anxiety, realized today I’m actually not too slammed at work, took a half hour break to ride the bike. Planning on taking an hour lunch to go get some Thai food, maybe also on the bike, possibly the scooter.

Our local high school had been a dynasty in the highest division in state for a while, but has faded a bit recently as another suburb has established a dominant program. In the regular season game against that rival our kicker hit 4 field goals, including a 55 yd (personal record) game-winner as time expired. Don’t know the kid and really am not super invested as my kid doesn’t play, but happy for what could be the game of that kid’s life.

Harvested another batch of chives and dried them!! There’s a couple of sprigs of thyme in the garden that I will use for chicken stock later this week!!!

I have a chive plant and I never considered drying them. Good idea. I just go out and snip some whenever I want. That plant is at least 14 years old and seems indestructible.

When we lived in Wisconsin we had rosemary that was still in the garden in winter, so I would have freeze dried rosemary to use in recipes.

I will try growing thyme and rosemary indoors this winter.

As a local public official, I was invited to the soft opening of the local Trader Joe’s this evening. Their official grand opening is Friday morning.
Is there anything special I should try to get. I’ve only been to a Trader Joe’s once and wasn’t that impressed. Went with DD and don’t remember what she got.
Get a pint of their pumpkin ice cream if they have it. Look forward to it every season.
I don’t go to Trader Joe’s often, but when I do I buy these:
Take one out of the freezer at night and let it rise overnight. Wake up in the morning and bake it for 20 minutes while you’re doing morning stuff.
Key lime cookies, but they might be seasonal.
A good pesto will alleviate you of that burdensome basil in a jiffy!
Man that makes me hungry even though it is two hours until lunchtime.
