Other rando dream: I dreamed I was living at home but as an adult. I had a very fat, fluffy cat that ran off with its kitty posse. My dream mom— not real one — and I chased it into a privy on a ledge near a tannery, the privy fell down the ledge into a nasty stream of polluted water. Caught the cat.

Interesting rando dream: I dreamed that I was in my 30’s, married to E1 but living in my old university town. My old parish there had just built a new church off the freeway. It was a contemporary boxy building, but inside everything was luxe — fine woodworking, stained glass, etc.

I just saw someone call PTSD “ spicy nostalgia,” and I can’t stop laughing.

Meanwhile, E1 was informed that she finally gets her total knee replacement — in a couple of weeks, not months as is usually the case. She is at something called Joint Camp today — no s’mores, singalongs or T- shirt. Our home is a flurry of healthcare prep.

Health update: Turned out I have a- fib, and am due to get “ zapped” soon to restart my heart rhythm. I had a disturbing mammogram that turned out to be benign, but still have to have some outpatient surgery. Other than that, I’m peachy- keen.:-(

Lingering lung problems… on my inhaler all morning.

My chest congestion has mostly cleared up, but I’nm still using a rescue inhaler maybe 3X daily.

Menopausal sweats that must be from the Lisinopril… but that!s better than falling asleep on half a Norvasc tab.

So far the Lisinopril is not doing anything bad to me.

My pollen- triggered bronchitis seems to be getting a bit better, although I had to use an inhaler when I awoke from my afternoon nap. I’ve never had allergies this bad.

Dream, cont’d. Anyway, this happened, and I was moved, and I thought, I’m going to write a little lunchbox note letting him know that I noticed. I very rarely have dreams that aren’t stories.

Aw, shucks… my dashing hirsute veteran returned to my dreams last night. I dreamed that I had to get up in the middle of the night for some reason, and when I returned to bed he, still sleeping, put his arms around me… but then he gave me an extra little squeeze, like he was actually awake.

The brisket is AMAZING! It’s going to be repurposed into tacos tomorrow. We had it with fingerling potatoes and cucumber salad made with sour cream. a little vinegar, onion and Penzey’s Tsardust Memories seasoning.

Watching a sad This Farming Life — one farm lost 100 lambs to cold, wet weather. Sometimes farming just sucks, the farmers look so defeated. Also saw pigs going on the Long Walk after the young farmer decided she vouldn’t afford to breed them. Cheery TV! Meanwhile, ouchy vehicle repair here.

Last night I dreamed about “ chicken Hypatia” and how good it was. I had to look it up this morning. Alas, it is not a real thing. But in my dream it was chicken baked with a few vegetables and white wine.

Feeling kind of wistful don’t recurring dream cast of characters and themes. Yeah, the hirsute Scotsman and my lovely twin partners are delightful. But I also like the secret house hidden inside the other house, the mystery town next door to mine, and my ongoing college career. And E1 as costar.

I got all excited to see our favorite local bar offering zero proof whiskey, until I remembered I have diabetes and can’t drink that many carbs. This condition just sucks on so many levels. Good news: I have new Voortman 0 sugar shortbreads that are exactly 15 g of carbs each… perfect snack!

Boneless chicken thighs marinated in taijin sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic. Sprinkle with powdered taijin. Air fryer at 350, 8 minutes per side. Tasty! We are keeping these in the fridge as no- carb snacks. . Next trick: umami bombs with tamari and mushroom/everything bagel seasoning.

Other dream: I was in a local mom- and pop store. They had stocked it, for some reason , with poultry in every possible refrigerated area. There were roasters, 30- pound toddler- size turkeys, geese, ducks. I was so happy. I was shopping and comparing prices.

From Jeremiah, Chapter You will be in the right, O Lord, when I lay charges against you; but let me put my case to you. Why does the way of the guilty prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive?You plant them, and they take root… you are near in their mouths yet far from their hearts.

Just had a huge blood sugar spike… in all fairness , my fault for being careless with eating breaded vegetables. I needed insulin. Scary. I can’t let up documenting in my food journal, not even one lousy meal.:-(

Another school dream last night! This time off- camera husband ( !) wanted me to go back to school. I was in my 30’s or 40’s. I was back in my old dorm, trying to go to dinner, but one thing after another prevented me from eating. So frustrating. Why wasn’t my bossypants spouse feeding me?

First remembered dream in ages. I was studying physics in adult ed; E1 invented this scheme where businessmen would float me class project ideas while using their R/D money for fun, and write it all off. I was uncomfortable with this ; she said, no, a it’s win- win.

Another sugar- spiky day. E1 was not home, and I am not comfortable with the short term insulin syringes, so I walked in place and did windmills until my sugar came down. I shudder to think how many “ naps” in my pre- diagnosis life were due to 200+ blood sugar.

The Episcopalians are making progressive reels on Facebook now — or at least I see them now — and I’m here for it. And they’re getting some love from nonchurchy people. Good for you! Waiting for ELCA pastors to show up.

Spontaneous trip to Cadillac! Honked approvingly at the Habds Off match; had a great earlybird dinner at Little Mexico on 115, where the staff was friendly but wouldn’t tell me what was in the barbacoa.

Love the BCP Morning Prayer Lenten opening: “Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil. Joel 2:13” Following Orthodox Jews online who do rend their garments gives context.
