    I never appreciated having clean water so much until I read this thread on cholera. And we got Frankenstein.

    Broke my 36-hr fast with a clementine, homemade chocolate chip cookie, and coffee. 👍

    My younger daughter will not be stopped when she has a cookie craving. We didn’t have enough chocolate chips for a full batch so she made 4 cookies. Ratios matter.

    Yesterday I steamed eggs in my Instant Pot. When done I like to soak them in a bowl of cold water, but I had just washed a pan so the tap water was still hot. Tossed out hot water and opened the patio door to scoop up some fresh snow. Cooled the eggs in a nest of snow. 👍

    Slice of joy- it's snowing in New Mexico today. We are so terribly dry and so need this moisture. Bring it on, I say!

    So that’s where the rest of the snow went! Our snow cover is kinda low. Happy to share! Please stay warm and safe. We are used to snow and have all the snow removal equipment.

    I came across this video again recently, a song from the 1980s that I love. I was a huge fan of Gregory Hines, which for those of you who remember him, he was known but also turned out to be a great actor and musician too. This song brings me back to a time in my 20s when I was in grad school, I love how music can do that. And I love this video because I think they are geniunely enjoying doing the duet together.

    Enjoy!

    Jazzy - I remember Gregory Hines but didn't remember that he sang. How about this Luther Vandross to start the day dancing??

    Today's slice of joy - picked up some Chinese New Year flowers on my way home from an early and very cold dental apt

    Great songs, keep 'em coming!

    Jazzy - Lovely flowers. Like the Tiger! Since it's the Year of the Tiger, go Bengals! (local American football team - headed to the Superbowl for the 1st time in 31 years).

    Jazzy - Gorgeous flowers!

    On Gregory Hines - I don't remember him as a singer, only as a tap dancer and actor. I vaguely remember him in White Nights.

    On Vandross - 👍

    Celia - It's the Year of the Tiger. Time for the Bengals to shine?

    I suddenly realized I haven't received an appointment for a CT scan as I expected. Called the number and was on hold for over an hour. At least their muzak was nice piano music. Then a human came on the line, got my information, and gave me a canceled time next Tuesday. It's in the evening, and I confirmed a nurse would be available in case they need to access my port. Normally appointments are over a month away.

    My older daughter isn’t feeling well. My younger daughter is on the way to her apartment to bring her a heating pad. ❤️

    Cold but sunny out.

    Orchids 1&2 still in bloom. Orchid 3’s spike still growing. Orchid growing is an exercise in patience.

    Free and beautiful buildings and animals being rehabbed or cared for despite injuries. A day with my son and his friend not thinking about cancer at all...

    Sunday coffee tastes much better when I hear birds singing and sunlight streams through the shades.
