disjointed pieces
Apr. 19th, 2002 08:40 ami wasn't allowed to give blood yesterday :-(, apparently b/c i still had a scab on my hand. would they have cared if it had been on my knee?
i finally renewed a prescription, which i should've done last week (by phone, sent through the mail). i hope the refill gets here before i run out.
i went shopping last night. groceries galore, including a decent quantity of veggies. not only the regular supermarket, but the kosher market too, which singularly lacked interesting cheeses, though i did pick up some feta... i'd been wanting some in salad. and 2 jam splurges, which may make it to bitty's pb fest: rose hip and quince (both were relatively cheap, with known sorts of ingredients. anyone pro/con these flavors?)
small hand accomplishments: zipped a zipper. schlepped groceries. opened containers.
every day it feels like there are some things reclaimed, even if the actual range of motion increase is slowing from the fast rate of the last week. i can handle more weight (i no longer have to get pans out of the oven one-handed! not a simple task.), too.
a friend reminded me to avoid getting sun on the back of the hand to help avoid scarring, so this morning when i massaged my hand (to help get the rest of the swelling down) i used sunblock. it smells of sum mer to me, a contrast to this misty morning.
bread dough is rising. i should've made it last night, baked it on time bake this morning, but i was just too tired. the visiting birds were interested, though i fear i was saying something rude, as they esca lated their comments...
i didn't think i had enough time to start the chicken marinating, but it turned out i was wrong. ah, well.
there are so many violets out now. every year i think i'll try to make candied violets, and inevitably they come out whe n i'm in the throes of passover. this year it's after passover, but my mobility is still somewhat limited. anyone know of a safe place to pick violets? anyone want to experiment with crystallizing violets?
i brought the container of nutella that had bee n h anging around my house for far too long in to work yesterday. yum, nutella on bread. hmm... if hazelnut and peanut go together, nutella and pb sandwiches...
meatloaf and a leftover dumpling for breakfast. yum. (i finally got the dumplings i'd been craving for at least a month... should've gotten more...)
and hamburgers, salad, other dumplings for dinner last night. major meat consumption...
really, i have done/thought stuff that doesn't have to do with food. really, i have. for instance, uh, er, well, maybe not..
