History repeats itself!

Today looked much like a re-run of Groundhog Day 2019. Early this morning, it was pretty heavily overcast. The sun didn\’t show itself until about 8:30. For the next few hours it dodged in and out of the clouds; and it didn\’t really clear up until about midday.

So whether our local groundhog saw his shadow depends on what time he (or she) came out. Phil up in Pennsylvania says that Winter is not over. That\’s bad news for me. I\’m tired of leg warmers, jackets, and so on.

Tomorrow morning will be another cold one: history repeats itself! At least the forecast says, wind only about 5 mph; and that will help. But from the East, as is only too usual.

I don\’t exactly celebrate Groundhog Day, but I was terribly tempted to get Chinese take-out for supper. Then I remembered that I had some cut-up broccoli in the fridge that really needed to be used up.

So, I steamed the broccoli; drained a can of chicken; and tossed chicken and broccoli with some orange sauce; soy sauce; and sesame seeds. It was close enough to appease my craving for Chinese food.

Tomorrow I have yet another COVID-19 test. That bit of \”history repeats itself\” is quite a drag. The swab up my nose makes me feel like sneezing — and sometimes I actually do sneeze!

I\’m eager for Thursday morning, because it\’s a remote-work day. That means, I can go to the supermarket and get hummus! I ran out of it a few days ago, and immediately began to miss it. I need to learn how to make my own; but where could I store a food processor?

Oh, by the way: that critter shown above looks quite disapproving of this whole business!
