We had a very quiet, average week. We didn't go outside much because it was really cold. However, there were two days that were not as cold so we took the dogs on a walk through the graveyard across the street on Tuesday and we rode our bikes on Wednesday. I developed a urinary tract infection early on so I am now on antibiotics. The Carondelet string quartet rehearsed on Friday - that was enjoyable. While I was sawing away on my cello, Steve drove our blind neighbor, Fred, to be tested for Covid at a nearby Walgreens. Unlike the testing Steve and I experienced, they just handed him a kit and said "go ahead and do it yourself"!!! A blind man. So, Steve had to help and it was kind of a wonky process. After dropping Fred back at home, Steve wiped down the car with disinfectant. Fred has been sick since January 26th but I guess since he is a single guy, he just thought he could soldier on? We haven't heard the results yet and maybe it isn't Covid. I just wonder why he didn't call his doctor early on who could have sent someone to his house to test him (since he can't drive himself) or why his twenty-something daughter couldn't have taken him? And, I just hope Steve doesn't get Covid for his kindly act of service....
I had both cello students this week, the Phoenix one is always virtual but Ethan came in person on Saturday. His parents got to attend the temple so he was with us for about five and a half hours. After lessons, Ethan and I spent the rest of the time glutting on Disney+
I tried two new gluten free baking recipes...the cinnamon swirl bread is delicious. The coconut flour cake has yet to be tried since it is tonight's dessert. Steve and I continue to transcribe his father's life history. We have just finished his time in England where he was stationed as a bombardier in a B17 crew. Wow, harrowing experiences!
Steve and I watched a lot of movies through the week: Groundhog Day (of course), Iron Man, Pajama Game, Mirror Mirror, and Mulan. Pajama Game came from the library and it was because Steve had made up some silly lyrics to a tune (Hernando's Hideaway) that came from the movie (and Broadway musical). After some Wikipedia research, we decided to try to watch it as neither of us had ever seen it. Hooray for the public library. It was kind of silly but we enjoyed watching it. Mirror Mirror is the quirky twist on Snow White from 2012. Back then, Steve was very involved with being in the stake presidency so I watched a lot of movies on my own. This was one that I liked enough that I bought it. Steve had never seen it until this week. Mulan was watched over a few days and I just love it.
