Mrs.J

Yea came back on at around 1. So may have been wind may have been something resulting from work somewhere. Neighbors in the neighborhood across from us said they heard a big boom and then it went.

Power is out over here. Guessing it is the wind.

It is actually a natural thing in apples in the skin. And loving this weather. House if full open all 3 levels. Did my workout in the front room as I do in colder weather. Half way through was sweating a bucket so looks like time to move down to the lower level. Mr. J just took the day off as he did not sleep well and after he does the food round up we are going to try out our new portable electric power washer. The patio and deck need some attention. With the winds it may turn into a soak fest but it will be warm enough for it.

Oh my 3 alarm fire in my mouth. We decided to order in Curry. Well I thought that the last time I had done the chicken platter spicy and was fine with it. Well I just got done with it and my eyes will not stop watering and my mouth and lips are stinging. Obviously either I got it mild last time and it was just kind of spicy or I got it spicy and they amped up their spicy. Sinuses have cleared way out.

They just said on Weather Nation that the wording of Catastrophic Damage is being used to describe the situation.

That storm near Greensboro AL looks nasty. Just got a PDS on it.

Holy crap is anyone watching the storms down in Alabama. Radar image on that storm near Greensboro is scary. Edit: is now a PDS

Grew up saying Pea-can, was corrected by Mr. J's Texas family that is is Pea-con.

Happy Birthday to my fellow March birthday family!! Pineapple on pizza should be banned!!! I have two in this house who swear by it. Cannot get behind it in any way shape or form.

The youngest Miss J has a bad intestinal reaction with the skin of apples. Found out it is the pectin. She can eat skinned apples just fine so that is what we do.

Yep! Mr. J is from the south and down there they call it Hunch Punch. I used to live next to a Rugby house. Messed those guys up for about a day don't even want to say what they got up to. And I would think gummi bears would count as fruit. Would be like a Jello shot.

Actually per research grain soaked grapes are the bomb! I messed up some of my fellow college friends on a trash can of Harry Buffalo with grapes soaked in Everclear. We actually lit those things on fire! That being said my favorite fruit is star fruit. It is like a giant chewy sweet tart!

Wanting to hear the first roll of spring thunder. This will do until that time comes.

Korean Beef bowls for dinner tonight with pickled veggies and kimchi.

I say take a drive on down! Looking back at my invite info I thought it was the Frederick Co Dept of Health, but as I am still under care at Frederick Health Hospital for Oncology that is how I got my invite. So far so good. I am drinking a lake full of water and just did my recorded work out I missed this morning due to my scheduled appt. They said the more you move and use your arm the better it will be. Am holding off on Tylenol if I can help it. Second appt is scheduled for mid April.

Happy Birthday!!! Ah 21... I turned 21 while on Spring Break out in Colorado. Went out with my brother and went skiing at Copper Mountain and Keystone. We went to the bar and he bought me a drink. Good times. And Happy Birthday to all those March folks here. We are a tough bunch, March can be crappy and nice from day to day and we roll with it. So just got back from my vaccine jab at the Health Dept. Was quite surreal parking for the clinic and seeing the line for testing. Went in and it was a smooth process. Honestly had to hold back tears of joy when that needle went in my arm. And I am a needlephobe, but for a person who for over a year has kept out of almost everywhere expect for being outside I was so happy! I truly felt a sense of relief wash across me. I came home and broke down with joy showing Mr. J my vaccine card. I get to start contributing to the family again real soon. Now downing the water and am going to work out as it says it will help lessen arm soreness.

OH MY I am over the moon tonight! This Immune Compromised lady just got an invitation to a vaccination clinic at the Frederick Department of Health for tomorrow morning!!! We filled out the intent form back in January and found out only around 20,000 Fred Co residents signed up, so looks like they are moving quickly as my group was not supposed to even be available till next Tuesday.

Thanks! I really don't know much about my Greek heritage. My grandmother's father was Greek, from Crete, but her parents got divorced when she was young. Which must have been something back in that time. So my grandmother never really did much Mediterranean cooking with the exception of Lamb. But the love of cooking must have transferred with her as she loved to cook and bake. So I have been exploring that side of cooking for a few years now to help me re-connect with my Greek heritage. My actual first full name is Greek, although my mom changed the first letter to match her initials, so by doing that it is the Romanian version.

My parents in FL have told me to lie my way into a vaccine. I told them that is just not right. Am I frustrated that a person with underlying conditions has had to wait, yes. But I am not going to lie my way into a vaccine. So this 48 year old cancer survivor will be one of those trolling at midnight if I have to starting March 30th here. I am signed up on a an intent form with my local county health department, but I feel that as they are only up to 1952 for their age group that will not be happening soon for me. I will hopefully get to pre-register for a mass site next Tuesday. Have my Twitter alerts set up with a Vax Alert Bot and have joined a MD Vaccine Hunters group that gives tips and tricks and even helps those who are having issue getting registered.

So Mr. J did good for a birthday gift. Had a quiet day and ordered in Thai on Wednesday. After all my life having a St Patrick’s Day birthday I am over the mass pub scene of my adult life. Not being Irish at all, German and Greek mostly, it has been nice to just celebrate it as my birthday.

Yea the sub groups in 2 is new. As of March 30th I will be queuing up. You do know you can pre-register for the Mass vax sites starting today for group 2A yes?

I am an introvert so I have issues going big with things. But am happy that I can share here. And yea the Meifun noodles are a new one for me. Brown rice noodles kind of like angle hair pasta. And the nice thing about stir frys is you can add the veg to your liking. So could just leave out the mushrooms. Oh we are having pulled pork nachos tomorrow. Made pulled pork last week and had enough left over. That BBQ sauce sounds good!

Awe thanks! Chicken stir fry with Meifun noodles. Nice change from rice.

What am I making today

Yea we many times thought of moving closer to Rockville. But I just cannot get past the built up environment. Even Frederick to a point in areas is getting built up. We live in a neighborhood on the SW side. Very close to 270 and 70. But as it stands we still have many fields around us. Could change, but hope that by the time it does with both Miss J's in college we will downsize. I want a tiny house Mr. J is still not sold on it.
