Wednesday, Feb. 24

We were up around 7:30 on this sunny, but windy-cold morning, and I did a treadmill session and weights exercises after breakfast. Once I was ready for the day, I attempted to renew the anti-virus on my office computer, but naturally ran into problems with it.

I quit in frustration for a while, and then went back to it later. After another try or two, I finally accomplished it.

Mother came over after lunch, and chopped veggies for a new soup recipe. While she was doing that, Hubbie and I ran a few errands...to get more cottage cheese, and to the greeting card shop for a birthday card for Mother. I also picked up an Easter card for her, as well as a free child's greeting card. Then we went to the WDCS for a few groceries, and to the gas station to fill the van.

Had a near miss on the WDCS parking lot, when a young woman in a big, red pickup truck came barreling across the lot just as we were driving down an aisle to find a parking space. If she had hit us, it would have been on the passenger side, and I would have been injured, because she was traveling pretty fast. She seemed to just come out of nowhere and screeched to a stop just feet away from us.

On the way home, I noticed, sadly, that one of our black cats was lying dead on the shoulder of the road. I hate when this happens.

Back home, I set up the food processor to blend the veggies (carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, and minute rice) that Mother had cooked. To this, we added milk, spices, and frozen English peas, and a little cheese, which made a delicious creamy soup. We made herbed scones to accompany the soup. The scones, also delicious, were from a new recipe, too.

After supper, Mother went home, and Hubbie and I watched TV...a couple of one-hour shows and our favorite basketball team playing to a loss in a game they should have won.

Hubbie has been under the weather today. I hope he feels better tomorrow for the trip.
