sueg I'm so sorry. Praying all goes well. AussieMeg that sounds great. I love red pepper and eggplant! ntsf glad you had a good time for the most part. Bummer to get covid. Hope you two quickly recover. teddyw that sounds great! I had my routine physical bloodwork today and I was shocked to see my glucose still normal. It's not been a good year that way. Must be all the exercise. I was at the high end of prediabetic for years dropping to normal last year. My thyroid is out of whack for the first time in years (I take medication). Might explain why I'm always tired. Tonight we had the last of the tortellini soup with some olive bread.

I think most of you know I was widowed many years ago. My husband was an Oakland police officer who was murdered in the line of duty. I have stayed close to many people at the PD and the police association. So yesterday (Friday) we had an officer shot and killed. Married but no children. It is very painful and difficult for the law enforcement community when this happens. Next week I will need to attend the funeral. It’s a heavy responsibility they carry every day, and sometimes things don’t go well for them. If anyone wants to read about it, I think this should be a gift link. Let me know if it doesn't work (it’s from yesterday) and I’ll get a fresh link. www.mercurynews.com/2023/12/29/oakland-officer-critically-injured-along-citys-waterfront-friday-morning/?share=wl1troirc3aoijgwiy2iIn other news, I met my latest new great-niece today. Hope to see more of her and her older sister in the next few days while they’re visiting the Bay Area from Texas. We went out for Chinese food for lunch and I brought the leftovers home for the 14yo who got out of going by still being asleep when I left. Supposedly. He’ll go with me next time. Or else. sueg, I’m wishing your stepmom a full recovery. ntsf, feel-better wishes to you and your DH.

2nite the box said pork and gravy and smashed potatoes. I ate the pork, tossed the rest and had popcorn instead.

lucyg, my neighbor who knew your Dh had his police flag flying at half-staff yesterday so I knew something was wrong. I saw on his Facebook page that they had lost another police officer in Oakland. So sad. Did you know John Manos back in the day? He was a realtor in our office after he retired from the police force.

He may have a better memory than mine.
