Cooking and Pet Friends

00:52

It's been the week. I come home from school, feed the cats and dog, eat supper, and just stop moving until bedtime. All the while, classes, lessons and individual students are on my mind. The weather is dreary and depressing. Going back to school after a long break is hard on kids. Hard on me. 

Church is now all virtual for January and February because of heating costs, COVID. influenza, and RSV concerns, and traveling on winter roads. This helps me so much because of my knees and gives me one more day that I don't have to get dressed. My weekly virtual Bible study class suddenly shut down over the holidays and I don't know when, or if, it will start up again. It is out of upstate New York with people from there, Vermont, and snowbirds in Florida. I think I'll ask our minister if she has time to do a virtual Bible study. I miss it.

I'm more hooked up during remote church service than I was in grad school.

During the school break I successfully avoided Christmas and baked bread as much as I could. I even did a tiny bit of cleaning and re-organizing in the house.

iPhone dropped these two videos on me this morning. Again: so many memories. Apple recycles many of the same photos, plus some new ones, and sets them to different music. I welcome them.

  1. Love the cute dog, reminds me of my yellow lab named Sunshine. It seems Covid case numbers are picking back up again. Take care, stay safe and have a great weekend.

  2. I see the dark sky in your photo of the day. Not much better in north Ohio. Winter just disappoints daily. Nice you can still have church service but no driving. Hope you get back to Bible study. There are just things we need to keep up our spirits. I see baking that bread was one of them and of course Lucy.

  6. I'd miss Bible study, too, although i am glad for your sake online church continues.

    Going back to school after the break is hard, i remember from the student side of it. It wasn't that i didn't want to learn, i did, but having to get up and leave the house to do it made me cranky.

  7. I made a cheese bread a couple of days ago. There is nothing better than homemade bread! I hope you got a smidge of it, Lucy!
