I have another full day ahead of me, so while I am moving slowly, I will make it in to the office. No court for the rest of this week, which right now is a tremendous relief. Catching up with paperwork while trying to adapt to the very stringent requirements from a new judge has been stressful, and stress is bad - for everyone, but particularly for folks with chronic pain disorders. I'm going to grit my dentures and carry on.
I took another look at the recipe for dill pickle soup, and I am still determined to make it, but it needs a little tweaking. Just a tiny bit. We'll see if I can manage a trip to Publix later.
Ah ha! One step closer to making that dill pickle soup. I stopped into Publix on the way home and snagged a couple of potatoes and a bunch of green onions. That bit of shopping plus my work during a shortened day knocked me out. But I did manage to work for most of the day, so I consider it a victory. Now that I have all the ingredients, including some kick ass pickles, it's just a matter of time. Let's hope I gather enough energy to cook the soup before the potatoes sprout and become inedible.
Speaking of time passing, I want to wish my very dear friend Mark a very happy birthday. Hopefully he is celebrating his 62nd with more decorum than his 18th. Heheh. Yes, I know him that long. We started college together at New Paltz in 1970 and have been friends ever since. I have trouble believing that much time has passed, but Mark has two grown children, two grandchildren (twins), and another on the way, so I have to believe it.
Happy, happy birthday, old friend, and may you have many more happy and healthy years to celebrate with family and friends.
