Even though I still have remnants of Christmas, I put out St. Patrick's decoration. Yes, 'decoration' is what I have and all I want. There is a sparkly Shamrock on the front door and behind the storm door. There is no way I can transform the Christmas/Valentine tree into a shamrock tree unless I just take all the red from it and have a green tree. 

Last night, I sort of slept enough. At least, I have not been sleepy today. But, I feel it coming on now...lol.

Today, we collected the three store ads. I did buy one thing I was afraid would sell out. I also took a salad back. Today was the last day. When I ate it with the tuna on top, I had to pick out all the brown pieces. Well, I suppose I could have eaten it. The rigid stalk where the plant grows into the ground was also in the bag. Romaine usually lasts longer than a few days. I opened the bag, shook out what I wanted, squeezed the air out and put the whole thing in a ziplock bag, squeezed the air out and took it straight to the refrigerator again. Weird.

We shopped for otc meds we don't want to worry about finding or finding at an exorbitant price. I am not sure what the results of Trump's shenanigans will be. I was so exhausted that I cancelled grocery shopping today. 

I also bought two nightgowns. For Tommy, I bought 3 pair underwear. He sleeps in khaki pants that are too tight, outgrown and a belt. That cannot contribute to restful sleep! He swears he will not wear the pants I bought him, actually a shirt and pants. I intended to only buy pants, but sets were all that was left. He says he will just sleep in underwear which is fine with me. I asked why he does not, and he said it was too hard to get his pants off at night and on in the morning. He does struggle. So, he may get his money back. I don't know or care. 

Right now, we are making dinner--shredded chicken, basil alfredo sauce, tiny jar of pimientos, package of frozen broccoli, garlic. It should be delicious. This is where having frozen bscb is handy. The hardest part has been shredding the chicken and waiting for pasta to boil. 

Tommy is complaining he cannot hold his coffee without pain because of carrying in things from the car. I know he hurts. He won't use the Voltaren, so I don't know what to do. I need to get him to a doctor! He has quit refusing to go and yelling about not going. 

Jupiter is brilliant tonight. I thought it was an airplane...lol. I heard the planets will align sometimes soon. I need to see when so that I don't miss the display. 

Dinner is ready. Afterwards, I will make a grocery list. I think bedtime will be early tonight.

Now, I am sleepier than before eating. Oh, I have only had alfredo sauce with chicken chunks, not shredded chicken. But, this chicken was shredding when I tried to slice. 

The temperature today was 79F. It is so nice out. The tulip tree across the street is starting to bud. Lots of specimen trees will bloom in a few days.
