1 panful of seared sirloin steak for Punch and me. [Dan came back from shopping like a proud hunter, bearing tofu for Figgy and beef for us.]
2 stints unloading/loading the dishwasher and hand-washing the endless cookware in this pots-and-pandemic [name from Dan].
3 carafes of Folgers coffee brewed and poured for Dan, Figgy and me. [Punch had one glass over ice.]
4 hollers to Punch to turn off the Harry Potter movie rental and come eat dinner.
5 the time I arrived at Toni's Kitchen in Montclair to drop off a donation bag filled with tissues, laundry detergent, hand soap and food.
6 check-ins to see if my essay was published online yet [nope].
7 hand-me-down sterling silver spoons in our everyday utensil tray.
8 people on line outside Kings when I went about 5:30 pm, all spaced at a safe social distance of 6 feet apart.
9 small bowls and wedding china cups of creamy tapioca pudding--nursery food--filled and chilled after stirring and folding, stirring and folding.
10+ flowering pink trees passed on my walk at 6:15 pm.
300+ daffodils, tulips and grape hyacinths dipping and bowing along the way, a cheerful troop of beauty.

TCOY
- The walk.
- Taking some time to write this post.
- Watched last episode of season one of "The Closer." I love it. On to season 2 this weekend.
- Taking care of others is TCOY. I did that by steaming asparagus, searing the steak, baking yams, making tapioca for Punch. It also felt good to drop the bag at Toni's Kitchen and to bring $48 cash to my neighbor, Lotta, who is donating money [in exchange for her gorgeous kitchen towels--she is a well-known textile designer] for face shields for frontline workers.
Will post $$$ update soon. Good night. Stay safe.

Clever bunny with your 1,2,3! Need to fill a donation box this weekend, price compare garden supplies, laundry and food prep (as always), a little work work. Had a decently productive week at work, getting ready to tackle something big on Monday. Also enjoying thought of Kim snuggled up sleeping on a rainy Saturday morning. The three blogs are a real joy for me.
