Well…made it all the way to coffee start this morning! But, I still feel pretty darn crappy and the cough is just as bad as it was yesterday and that makes it over a week that I have been suffering with it…it may be a little better since I was able to stop taking the medicine for it and still slept some…and I got out for a bike ride that was okay and didn’t have any shortness of breath so I guess that’s progress, too…damn, I just want this to be over and to feel well again…I do have some work to do downstairs today so it will probably get worse later….crap…but the work needs to be done so I’ll have to suck it up and live with it…and I am going to try to make some pasta sauce in the instant pot to use up the ripe tomatoes I have sitting on the kitchen table…I did get out to strip the gardens of what peppers and tomatoes that were left and I am hoping that some of them will turn red…I already froze the jalapenos and I have enough of those that I don’t think I’ll plant them for next year’s garden and I have some half sized green peppers that will go into the sauce today…have to drag the blender out to puree it after it cooks…this is going to be the first time I’ve made sauce since I was in my first house and we had spaghetti parties and I am just winging it without any recipe but how hard can it be? I’m going to make chili tomorrow or Saturday and use the rest of the tomatoes for the diced ones I need for it…not much to do today….just cooking and the downstairs work…and probably no ride since it’s supposed to rain all day….more later…
