Coffee

[pjn]

I had my cup of coffee. I am sticking to one right now. It tastes pretty good. I think I still have taste changes from medicine. I have more energy with some elimination of medicine. I have one I will be off of on Monday. I am gaining strength.

Lots of rain, but today sunshine and for the first time in a long long time, birds in the yard. I went out and cleaned my bird feeder and sprinkled some on the ground for the squirrels.

DD and kids all finally over colds and saw them Thursday and Friday. I still cannot hold the twins, but DD puts them up close to me so I can play with them. They are sitting up and crawling. They are 7 months old.

Doing a lot of sewing for my different online stores and people are busy buying for Christmas. I am finishing up my Christmas shopping.

Glad to hear such a positive and good update.

After breakfast drowsy. Outdoors, suddenly, dense fog! WS warned us yesterday about that patchy fog and driving. I just checked the nearest airport and they bounced between 10 mile visibility at 2:30AM and then 1/2 mile at 4:30 and now at 2 miles. Drivers on highways be aware.

We will have another chance at record highs tomorrow with a new atmospheric river coming in. The westside of the Cascades will, once again, have the risk of flooding.

Full cup of herbal tea replacing the oolong here at the lazyboy. I finally had a chance for some organic, California Mandarins and quickly dehydrated and made a test run, yesterday. Just Fine . Next test should be for the homegrown spearmint to learn a way to get it to "spoonable" so that it can be quickly measured in the mix. I don't want to mess it up nor mess up some machine. Assorted blenders and food processors to try but I just might start with the meat grinder attachment to the KitchenAid mixer. The motor and gearing aren't quite so directly in contact with the dry leaves and stems.
