Before the storm that failed Kate and I watched the fog rolling in, covering the lodgepoles and the aspens. A bit of snow here and there, but mostly the fog coming down Black Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Kate&#8217;s feeling better. She smiles more, jokes. Her food intake was low and not nutritious before the tpn. It seems like we may be going in the right direction. At last.<\/p>\n<p>Got the freezer defrosted. We have an insulated garage. As I restored the items to the freezer out of the Option Care styrofoam containers, I took inventory. Good stuff in the freezer still, even though we lost several items to freezer burn. Chili. Gravy. Challah. Sauces.<\/p>\n<p>Very domestic day. Defrost freezer. Change Kate&#8217;s nutrition bag. Cook supper: hamburgers, tator tots, and kale cooked with bacon in the instapot. A load of laundry. Empty and reload the dishwasher. Home stuff. Satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>Saw a meme on facebook. A deranged, autocratic psychopath showed up in Singapore. Kim Jong Un was there, too. Korea is personal. Not only is it SeoAh&#8217;s home, the two of them could return to Osan at some point.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imbolc\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Valentine Moon Glad to see the Valentine Moon fade away.
