A quiet day today, Did some searching on the web for various things. nothing of significance looked, for some plant names from days gone by. Dinner was a piece of rump roast broccoli and mashed potato. my Instant pot really is a blessing in an hour and 10 minutes I have fork tender meat, a little work with a hand blender and I can get some delicious gravy. There's one more piece of chocolate cake that I dress up with some ice cream for Jane's dessert.

Didn't get thru the night without incident, when all was done it was tough night. Today was a bit stressful with the with the showering routine, but that went better than I thought it would. Got a chance to get to the dump with my garbage. Picked up Jane',s meds at CVS, and then some groceries.
When I was first married I was shocked to hear a young cashier in the Shoprite called me"Sir" it was a first. Today in Lowes foods A young cashier asked if I needed help getting the groceries to my car.....man this is getting serious.

Sort of a cloudy day made a seafood medley type of dinner. Had an earlier talk with Stan, he’s always expressed his willingness to help if I needed a strong back with moving stuff or things an old man like me would have trouble doing. Christmas trees ready to go to the attic.
