March 31st 2020

If you like your spuds, National Tater Day on March 31st is for you! The day recognizes all kinds of potatoes which provide us with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Potatoes are quite versatile, which might explain why so many people like them. They are the number one consumed vegetable and when you consider how many ways we can eat the over 200 different kinds of potatoes, you shouldn’t be surprised.

I celebrated with mashed potatoes!

John made meatloaf

And mounds of mashed potatoes.

I was up early,

Got the fresh groceries

- salad etc - we were out of

And was an hour early

To see Dad.

He was happy that I bought him

A hydrangea for him to give mom

-and she was thrilled to get it.

Did a porch drop delivery then

Bought a turkey on the way home

And that was enough.

Back to safety.

I ate lunch

Baked some cookies

And then went down for the count

At 4pm with a Crohn's attack.

The only way to describe the pain

Is menstrual cramps

-On steroids.

I was ushered up to bed,

Given pain killers and told to "stay"

Which I was not arguing about.

Served supper 

And I spent the evening

Being brilliant about 

The upcoming week's challenges.

Now my eyes want to close

So I will give in.

Good night from John Street
