Take it Easy, Take it Easy

I didn’t do much today. The thumbs are still hurting from my shots, so all I did was some light housework and take a nap. (sleep is good for healing) We did our normal visit to Target. We bought a bunch of dark chocolate that was reduced in price. We like to have a small piece of dark chocolate each evening so we stock up when the price is right.

For lunch I thought we would take something out of the freezer. So, silly me, I asked Penny what I should take out for lunch. The answer, “your wife”. I should have seen that coming.

We went to Harbordocks and both had a wonderful lunch – total cost $16.86. We also got special treatment. We arrived right at 11AM. Instead of the hostess seating us we got seated by the bartender. She was in a great mood and we discussed the specials they had on their white-board. One item was shrimp Louie (Louisianna) on rice but she explained that the cook gave her some last night served over their cheese grits and it was fantastic. She then said I’ll go get you some so you can taste it—and she did. She brought us a small bowl of it. It was great so that’s what I had for lunch. I doubt I’ll ever get a dish like that anywhere else. Penny got the roast pork, collards, mac&cheese and cucumber salad. She had a tough time choosing that. There were 3 items on the board –any of which she would be happy with. She actually was excited about eating. I mentioned that to her because daughter Christy can get the same way about a meal. Penny explained that it is because she is also a cook.

Back home again I put my thumbs on ice and took a nice siesta.

This was not a very productive day. I didn’t anticipate that my thumbs would initially hurt more after the shots. It is a valid excuse to take it easy. I do want the thumbs to get better.
