Mary's Baby Journal

I'm sorry to tell you that there will be no baby forthcoming.

Mary and Colin here, We were dawdling here together and I (CF) was feeling peckish.  Mary had the idea of making broiled eggs and then went to get some curry rice together.  But whoa, she saw this chicken spice in the cupboard and instead sprinkled it on the bottom of the saucepan where she also had oil and garlic salt and onion powder.  With a cup of uncooked rice and a 3/4 cup of water - it's on! Happy with My Mary!

Today it snowed.  I wasn't excited to see it.  I think it was a three-incher but I could have been mistaken.  It was a nice cover of snow.  But we had to go out for a Dr's appointment this morning.  I bundled up in my long ancient overcoat (which has taken me through many many many snow happenings), and the puppy and the 2 year old dog.  The drive wasn't bad, at least to my mind.  Dad drove. The streets were wet more than anything.  I was given some documents to fill out.  And then I waited for a few minutes and then got seen by a CNA (nurses' aide).  She asked me a few questions.  I got to pitch  my Lularoe and Thirtyone Gifts at her, ha ha.  She had a sense of humour, anyway.  She said she could do the ThirtyOne Gifts.  Now I'll have to find some way to get her email (sooo sad I didn't get that done!).  Then she took off and I waited.  Oh she read my BP.  It was high.  uber high.  Too...

Feeling a bit bileous.  I've had breakfast and some coffee.  Washed dishes and put a few pans in the sink with soapy water to lift off the grease.  Wrote my lover an email.  Fed the pets.  Gave them their water.  And the dogs have their chewy dental treats which they love a lot.  I'm all about making them have a good treat which will benefit them as well as make them feel that they're eating a tasty thing. I have been making pancakes but not lately.  I think the pancakes have been good for me and the Staff.  I think maybe when I come back from the doctor's office today I'll make us a lot of pancakes and then everyone will be happy. I've been feeling depressed lately.  Haven't had much luck in my business.  No real customers who've asked to buy or made some sort of offer or even expressed any interest in anything I'm selling.  So I'm not as excited about what I'm doing in my LLC.  But today maybe something might happen ...

My day has not been that unhappy.  I awoke quite early, round about a half past five in the morning.  I was able to have a thought with Colin before he went off to start his day.  I devoted some time to trying to revive my Pinterest account as it seemed to have gotten discontinued due to a non-renewal of my Etsy account.  Now that it seems to have been revived, I'm pleased enough.  Then I made breakfast and shared it with my terriers.  After which I made a dishcloth or two, and then when I was able to, started another dishcloth.  I wrote some people from a cloister due to having seen an obit about someone from there who served in our area (Lafayette).  I said I was sad to hear she passed on.  Then I also added another page to my scrapbook - a page about cowboy boots!  It was a featured topic on the Texas Monthly, which I subscribed to.  I don't know why I like Texas but I like their meme - a wild, unruly past and a more stolid and y...
