HEY EVERYBODY!

What a WEEK it has been!

 

Do Not be alarmed by the following images.

They will not hurt you.

My website went down on Wednesday and again on Thursday.

If you tried to check out my blog on Wednesday, you may have seen this.

I called Bluehost and they told me WordPress had updated something or other and I would need to change my DNS.  For awhile everything was okay.

  The next day I got this…

So I called Bluehost again and was told my DNS IP was wrong.

SMH.

I think we’re all straight now.

But, alas, there was more technological trouble to come…

My company PC has been giving me trouble.  Yesterday it altogether gave up the ghost.  I had to go to Fleming Island to exchange it for a new one.

It was quite strange being in that building.  At one time it was [in my opinion] overcrowded.  While I was there, I saw only three people.  Most of the lights were out and it was eerily quiet.  Very strange.  It has been almost a year since I packed up to start working from home.  I can honestly say that I don’t miss it!

Working from Home!

Clearly I had to start with that!

I posted often last spring and summer about how I like working from home, starting with the post

QUARANTINED!

that you can read about here and another here.

Favorite # TWO

This Face Scrubby ThingI’ve used it everyday since I received it.  It was a Christmas Stocking Stuffer and although I know what to do with it, I don’t know what it is called.

Favorite # THREE

Recently I learned about a recipe for a vegan

Sushi Bowl

  Since I don’t like raw fish, I thought this may be something I would like.  And who wouldn’t?  It is a bowl of jasmine rice topped with cucumber, carrots, edamame, avocado, and a sesame seed sprinkle (which I thought was a nice touch).  I didn’t follow a specific recipe, but a good one can be found here.  That recipe includes a few sauces and dressings as well.  To my sushi bowl I added some soy sauce and since I had no chopsticks, I ate it with a fork.

Favorite # FOUR

Red Lentil Chili

I discovered the recipe on The Stingy Vegan’s website here.

Since Thursday was National Chili Day I posted the recipe so I would be able to refer back and make it again.

Recipe here

This is turning into a food blog.

Favorite # FIVE

Lifelong Friends

There was a time when LB was a BellSouth phone tech and some of the gentlemen that started out as his co-workers became his good friends.  Many of those same good friends have remained friends for the past 30+ years.

This isn’t a typical Friday favorite, and it doesn’t make me happy to report, but it is important to remember a dear friend that LB said goodbye to this week.  David Gardner was a good friend to LB and a member of the Three Musketeers. 

David will be missed.
