Did a few chores in the morning, then took myself across the street to Nails L'Elegance for a long- overdue pedicure. The place was all decorated for the New Year--Year of the Wood Snake--which is, of course, celebrated across Asia. Kathy and the others are Vietnamese and were in colorful costumes:
Trotted home and got ready for Ellen to come at noon. We chatted for a bit, then went over to CVS for something she needed to pick up. Had lunch at Hill Street Cafe, then it was off to WinCo and boy, did I stock the larder. Got lots of produce, chicken thighs, plus chicken livers, which I love, as well as mushrooms, acorn squash, strawberries, salmon, a six-pack of IPA, and more. As I told Ellen, it would have taken me three trips to get that much via bus and with my cart, so I really appreciated it. Even more, I appreciated the fact that my dear girl invited me to go to her place on Sunday and, in fact, every Sunday, unless I have other plans. Happily looking forward to starting next week off with that.
After El left, I sliced the strawberries, added a little Stevia, and put them in the freezer in three small containers to enjoy later. Cooked the liver and mushrooms for dinner, along with leftover potatoes and peppers, for a good meal. Today, I plan to prepare the chicken, reserving one for tonight's dinner and the rest for later.
Happily, I slept well last night.
Financial note: Called Maureen at Groendyke (homeowners insurance) and found I have a $2500 deductible, so sent a check for $800 to Ernest Fey & Son for the plumbing repair.
