A while back, Lisa scheduled a long weekend. This weekend. However. A week or so ago, one of her back teeth cracked. It got infected. The side of her face was swollen. People at her work noticed. Eventually, she took an antibiotic for the infection. I made lots of scrumptious soft foods for her to eat. But. She was still in a lot of pain.
Not too long ago, I published a blog column about making your own takeout food. At home. This is something we have been doing for a while now. Because. Well. Takeout food prices have skyrocketed. Not only that, the quality has spiraled downward and the portions have gotten a lot smaller.
A couple of years ago, our state was almost completely shut down because of COVID-19. That included local restaurants. To an extent. Indoor dining wasn't allowed, however, curbside service and takeout were. Some restaurants were fortunate enough to offer make-shift outdoor dining. As time went on, indoor dining slowly reopened, but there were lengthy restrictions.
When we bought our house in February of 2020, this is what the front yard looked like. A single tree and a bush of some sort that had overgrown into a tree.

It has been well over a month since I last published a blog column. I'm not proud of that. Things have been sort of messy. I'm not referring to my life in general. On the homefront, everything is in check. Balanced. Steady. Content. We have been continuously getting projects done inside and outside of the house we bought over 2 years ago. Our kids are healthy and happy. What's messy is the stuff going on in my brain.
