Beef stew with onions, potatoes and carrots in the crockpot. Will head out to wash the car later - I got my other chores done, so at least I don't have to deal with dinner as well.

The guy who took the photo in September of my uncle messaged me last night. He said he is so lively and so sharp. Had lots of stories to tell of his days on the USS Jersey.
I know the last time I talked to him, he was as sharp as ever. He has an iPhone and knows how to use it. He read a message over my shoulder when he was behind me. I had to laugh at him.
I need to get myself to Omaha to chat with him before it's too late.
He lives in an efficiency apartment and still drives his Prius. His kids try to do his errands to he doesn't need to drive, but he drives.
He went with his wife to assisted living when she was sick. He stayed when she progressed to memory care and then passed away. About a month after she died, he said it was too expensive for him to stay there and he was moving. He's been in his apartment over 10 years.

I spent last night at the Taylor Swift concert. I went by myself, which I thought would be weird, but it turned out to be so much fun. No one else I knew wanted to pay the (admittedly outrageous) price for a ticket, so I decided I’d go solo. I recognize how fortunate I am and am just so happy that I didn’t chicken out. I made some friends and danced all night long. I’m exhausted today, but in the best possible way

Hope you enjoy your respite, cooper88, and that when you resume progress is swift. I'm glad you're up for 20 days off with pay. Very glad.

I made some friends and danced all night long. I’m exhausted today, but in the best possible way My son and DIL were there last night also. Son bought 4 tickets. Mainly for DIL's niece and her best friend. He texted me long ago and said he was "uncle of the year at least until October" He sent me video of moment he let them know he got tickets. I forgot how excited two teen girls could get. They almost hyperventilated when he told them. They are due back home late so will get the details later. So glad you went and had a good time.

I went to bed early last night, because I’m still trying to get over the last of whatever has been making me feel bad, and I start working my side gig tomorrow. Which means I’m going to be running around like a fool for the next 6 weeks and I don’t have time to be sick.
The tv was off and I was sleep by 9:30. At 11:30 the doorbell woke me up. It was Kiddo. Mister had to taken him to his Mom’s house before I got home from work yesterday, for a Halloween party, and some family member was bringing him back.
Then Mister got in the bed without taking a shower, so he still smelled like that funky cologne he had on yesterday. That I told him was funky soon after I got home. So my head started hurting. I was also pissed because my sheets were clean and he didn’t take a shower. Then I got pissed because he was snoring. Then Boy threw up. Then Boy barked around 1:30 when YD was coming in the house. Then Boy threw up again. He threw up 5 or 6 times.
So I got NO sleep last night and got up this morning willing to choose violence. This evening is gonna be interesting, because now I’m going to be the source of some chaos.
