75 days until spring. Cousin #3 came over and worked for 2 hours; and then cousin #2 came over and dried her clothes. It was nice to have company. I have been spending a lot of time on my new smartphone. I can do a lot of things without having to boot up my laptop. It comes in handy. Received another "appointment offer" from another doctor. I don't know what's going on; and I will call on Monday and try to get this sorted out. Breakfast - Granola bar Lunch - BBQ riblet sandwich, veggie poppables Dessert/Snack - Nature's Bakery Brownie, 70% dark chocolate Dinner - BBQ riblet sandwich, veggie poppables, yogurt What did you eat yesterday?

I do enjoy my phone too. I really thought I'd never get one but once I have it I have found I can't do without it. It has so many options. Weird the doctors keep contacting you. I hope you find one that is helpful.

@celticeagle They never called me back; but I made 2 calls to my insurance provider and confirmed that the doctor is in network.

75 days? Can't get here soon enough. It snowed again overnight, so I'm staying in, doing the dishes, sweeping up, watering the houseplants, reading about astrophysics... the usual.

@LindaOHio - Saffron has a unique flavor. If you ever had a paella there is saffron in paella saffron is also used in curries.

@LadyDuck I had a Chinese curry and didn't care for it. I should try an Indian curry.

That's good to have the company. That's great you are enjoying the phone. Appointment offer? Never heard of something like that.

Real good BBQ chicken! Chicken and cheese stuffed baked potato at Mark’s! Washed my palate clean of that mess on Friday. Dinner was chicken rice & veggie soup, yogurt, grapes, and applesauce.

My phone is handy, but so is my laptop. *shrug* I'm glad you had good company yesterday. What did I eat? Steamed veggies and a bun-less hamburger with mayo and ketchup for breakfast, the last Mandarin orange for lunch and Pretty fixed a frozen chicken pizza for supper. I ate two pieces of it. YUM!

I know a lot of people enjoy their smartphones but for me nothing beats my desktop PC with large screen and keyboard. I had some chicken fingers and sauteed spinach.

This may be becoming a theme, but it was another leftover night. It filled the bill and used some stuff up.

It's very comfortable, isn't it? If there are many people accompanying you when you're relaxing or busy. Yesterday I ate stir-fried beans and tofu, it was really comfortable.

We had our usual Saturday night pizza! I've had naught so far today but hot chocolate, but that hit the spot. An "appointment offer" sounds a little weird to me. Possible scam?

I LOVE pizza. No, the appointment offer was right on the University Hospital "My Page" account. I will have someone explain it to me today.
