January 8, 2024 Lunch - Tamales, red sauce, red onion, red rice, and sour cream Dinner - Charcuterie and cheese Board

I got up at 7:45 and showered and dressed and we each ate a bowl of granola with milk, yogurt and blueberries.

Then I worked a little and at 10:15 drove to my vein appointment. The flow in my veins was tested by ultrasound and I am still not pumping from my ankles back up to my heart but I am doing better with more exercise. I promised myself to wear compression socks more often.

I then drove to Highland Pharmacy to fill the doctor’s recommendation for treating the wound on my leg from dropping the casserole top on it at Thanksgiving and I also got another Covid vaccination, not knowing what changes might be coming with the Trump Administration and appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. as head of Health.

The tire warning light went on as I drove home so I called Jody and parked the mini instead of driving to El Super.

At 2:00 I ate the last two tamales garnished with red sauce, red onion, red rice, and sour cream. It was a huge amount of food and I lay down around 3:30 and slept until 4:45 when I joined the meditation group and meditated until 5:00.

We were not hungry until later so we watched the horrible L.A. fires and laterSuzette arranged a Charcuterie and cheese Board and I fetched a bottle of California Embroidery Pinot Noir and poured glasses of it. 

Neither of us drank or ate much and around 7:00 we watched a movie on Prime that I did not care for about a couple spending the day in Venice.

Suzette went to bed at 9:00 and I stayed up to blog and read.

Bon Appetit
