Actually it IS a "stew" of sorts, but with more or less clear juice rather than brown gravy. And big on root vegetables like turnips (rutabegas), carrots and potatoes.

Yesterday was a more or less lost day. I had no energy, felt so heavy I could barely move my arms or legs.

Got what HAD to be done, done -- trash out for pickup, Tom's compression stocking on, him fed and caffeinated.

Then I went upstairs and tried to nap, but was awakened twice by the phone (should have turned the ringer off), once to move up Tom's wound center appointment today by half an hour and the other trying to sell me a new credit card. (THAT one was extremely annoying -- we're on the no-call list, but we get that one or the other robo-call trying to sell us "security" at least every other day -- usually when it interrupts something on the far side of the room.)

About the only thing I really accomplished was finishing a book.
