I had a real day. Elisa is feeling 100% better now. We dug up the dahlias and transplanted them. We went shopping and got a whole bunch of new plants and planters. We ran a few errands. And that was all mostly before noon. I installed a light on the balcony and I got shocked. It turns out that the big switch in the electrical panel is not used to cut the power to the apartment. Oops! Surprise!

Earlier this week I attempted to wean myself off of the medicine. That didn’t go so well. 🙂 So I’m still taking it but I’m feeling better and better every day.

For the first time in a long time, I actually had a desire to cook. We tried some yummy things this week. Including: a new recipe on recipes.parry.org for really easy and really delicious key lime pie. (Thanks Mom and Dad.) I had made macaroni and cheese the same night, which was so rich that I couldn’t eat both it and the pie. So we had to save the pie. The next day I couldn’t resist taking just a taste. But my sliver of a taste turned into a quarter of the pie over the afternoon. 😆 Then today Elisa made fresh hamburger buns, and that was the source of puns all afternoon.

It’s been nice to be back home. We’ve been able to have some really good talks with family. We saw Kindin on video chat right after her second birthday. It will be nice to see everybody. My mind has definitely been occupied with baby stuff. Every time I see a little baby I just do not want to wait any longer for ours. I am really looking forward to finding out whether we are having a boy or a girl. (Elisa doesn’t like to use the word sex in public). 😳 Anyway, my excitement for our baby is multiplying.
