MONDAY

Yesterday, I caught up on a pile of things, some of which I listed below just to keep track for myself. Other than that, I made lemon squares. This is kind of a pain of a recipe; it's tedious using the grater to get the lemon zest off the lemons, plus squeezing a number of them for the juice required. In addition, the recipe said to bake the crust part for 12 minutes until it gets slightly browned. I did that, took it out and after making the custard part, poured it on. Unfortunately, the crust wasn't actually completely done and the dish turned into a kind of lemon pudding. What I think I'll do is say that's what it is, and provide a silver server and small dishes. 

I took a break and had my lunch out in the middle area, which is partly sheltered from the fierce Santa Ana winds. Even then, it was pretty blowy. Went from there over to Von's for IPAs and Hallmark for a card for Sally. Called Noreen, chatted, and we made a lunch date for next Tuesday at Dargan's--I'm booked the rest of this week.

I remembered that my granddaughter, Vivian, had expressed interest in our family--not the ancestor ones, but just what includes my siblings, me, and subsequent offspring. Because he's the one who has provided most of them, I called him. He's doing okay at 92, but couldn't accurately name his children, grands, and great-grands, not to mention all those who married in, then married out via divorce. Okay, I asked to have Karen or Terry call me; they probably have a better handle on it.

Texted back and forth with Duane, my cousin's son and I'll take the train to Encinitas (4 1/2 hours), then stay over his and Ani's place that night and Saturday.  

Today: Lunch at Rice By Mama with my new friend, Esther, then the covered dish at 6:00.

Aside from the above:

1.) I Ordered Ramipril and two of my other medications from Express Scripts, and they'll be sent. 2.) Ordered the Werther's sugarless candy I like from Amazon; 3.) Called St. Mary's Cometary in for a reason I won't go into now; 4.) Tried to subscribe to Venmo, had a problem and will be getting a new debit card.;5.) Called the Access Van to pick me up to go to the covered dish at Dudley House tonight. 6.) Made arrangements to have my laptop and printer taken over to the computer place to see if they can fix it.

And whew!
