Good morning from Northside…
The snow was melting and so was this little snowman…
Genifer thought it was a snow mouse. I thought it was a little snow bear or hamster. Whatever little animal it was, it’s starting to melt now…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. We had the BBQ Cheddar Meatballs with bacon potatoes again…
It was really good. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🌄❄️⛄️🍽♥️

Good morning from Northside…
We had earned a free pizza from Domino’s Piece of the Pie Rewards, and this afternoon we cashed in on free pizza…
Here’s our free pizza…
Ohmigosh. Free pizza is so good.
This footprint looked like it had two paw toes…
😀🌄❄️🍕♥️

Happy President’s Day! I’m very appreciative to have an actual functioning adult as president again.
It was very snowy again this morning. We got some more snow overnight and we were supposed to get a bunch more snow this afternoon into this evening. We were joking that it wasn’t a holiday during the middle of a pandemic that it would have probably been a snow day and we would have got to stay home…
And so a snowy good morning from Northside…
Before the snow got too bad, we ran over to Skyline to pickup some lunch…
The roads weren’t terrible. But they also weren’t great…
Genifer didn’t yell at me for taking photos with my DJI Osmo Pocket while driving so you know it wasn’t too bad outside yet…
Up in Michigan, they would have just called this another Monday…
Genifer’s Audi Q3 did really well in the snow…
And now it’s Skyline Time!
It was so good. For dessert, we ate our Valentine’s cannolis from Taft’s yesterday…
Shortly after we were done eating, we received a text that Hamilton County was upgraded to a Level 2 Snow Advisory…
Good evening from a very snowy Northside…
We played in the snow in our backyard…
And we watched the snow accumulate on our street from our third-floor WyzeCam…
We also watched all six episodes of the series Young Wallander on Netflix. It was pretty good. But the ending was a bit dumb.
Oh… and Michigan basketball is now ranked number three in the country…
We had a really nice President’s Day home from work. 😀🌄🌨️❄️📺❤️

Hooray. It’s Saturday! We were so lazy today…
Good morning from Northside…
We ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast…
And we ate fruit from our Edible Arrangement too. Both were so good…
Speaking of so good, we watched Leicester City drop three goals in seven minutes on Liverpool. And it was awesome.
Later, we ordered lunch from Dragon City through DoorDash…
Genifer ordered Pad Thai…
And she got some dumplings too…
I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young…
I also ordered these chicken teriyaki skewers…
I accidentally took this photo of our ceiling fan…
Good evening from Northside…
It looked exactly like it did this morning…
This evening we watched Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel on Netflix. That show was pretty crazy. But we weren’t crazy. We were just pretty lazy today.
😀🌄☁️🍍🍓⚽️🥡📺❤️

The sunrise was pretty this morning…
But then the grey skies started to win again…
There was a pretty deeper blue-grey in the sky this morning just above the horizon…
And by the time we were out on our morning walk, the sun was long gone…
Good morning from Northside…
The very pretty blue-grey in the sky was more pronounced up on top of the hill at the end of our street…
Today was a great day to celebrate. It was Friday. We made it through another week. And this morning, our Edible Arrangement was delivered for Valentine’s Day…
It’s pretty amazing how expensive shipping gets the closer you get to Valentine’s Day especially when it falls on a weekend…
But if it was delivered today, it was free. So here we are…
And our arrangement came with a box of a dozen little cookies…
It looks delicious. We can’t wait to dig into the fruits. And the cookies.
We had grilled cheeses with turkey for lunch. In some circles, they call that a Super Bird. But whatever you call them, grilled cheeses are pretty darn good…
I really like dipping my grilled cheeses in barbeque sauce…
And for dinner, we had an NYPD Pizza party…
NYPD Pizza is sooo good…
Snow bear? Snow mouse…?
Snow hamster?
Good evening from Northside…
Tonight, we finished watching Wanted on Netflix. We had a really good Friday. And especially since it’s the start of a three-day holiday weekend. 😀🌄☁️🍍🍓🥪🍕📺❤️

It was an overcast start to another work week…
The sun started to make a brief appearance this morning before getting enveloped by the clouds…
The sky looked really pretty. Good morning from Northside…
This evening it was just overcast and grey…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. We had the Asian Sesame Pulled Pork with broccoli and jasmine rice again…
It was so good again. The Asian glaze on the pulled pork was just amazing. At the grocery, we got a delicious little carrot cake to share for desserts this week…
It was the start of what’s going to be a crazy busy work week for me. I have two projects that both have deadlines on Friday morning. But I’ll get it all get sorted. Somehow.
While I was working on my stuff, we started watching Wanted on Netflix. It‘s wildly improbable and a bit ridiculous but very entertaining. 😀🌄☁️🥡🥕😰📺❤️

The sun was out this morning!
Good morning from Northside…
Fast forward to this evening and the sun was still out…
Good evening from Northside…
Genifer ordered a new little desk and it arrived today…
And we assembled it this evening. It looks really nice…
And Genifer made breaded chicken tenders and curly fries for dinner…
It was another good day. But I have no idea for the life of me what we watched this evening. All the days ran together on me. I’m pretty sure we watched a movie on Hulu but I have no idea what which one. Why doesn’t Hulu have a watch history?
But at least, we made it through another week. 😀🌄☀️🏡🐔❤️

The sunrise was very pretty this morning…
Maybe it was super pretty but it’s the first sunrise we’ve had in a minute in the sea of infinite grey that has been the sky lately…
And even as I was looking at the sunrise, the grey sky was starting to take over…
When we went out on our morning walk, there was no sign of the sun…
Good morning from Northside…
And this evening it was sprinkling. So yeah, good evening from Northside…
For dinner tonight, we ordered Danny Boy Burgers through DoorDash. Danny Boy is the new burger place on the University of Cincinnati’s campus. Apparently, Danny Boy started last year as a virtual kitchen inside of Keystone Bar & Grill, They specialize in hamburgers, Impossible burgers, and crispy golden fries. And their burgers are only available for delivery from DoorDash and carryout…
We were so excited when we were ordering, look at how good that burger looks…
And here’s my Danny Boy Burger and fries…
It was a little shocking when we unwrapped our everything. They were really small burgers. In the photo on DoorDash, they looked so big. But after looking at the photo again, what was shown was pretty accurate. But in the screengrab above if you look at the size of the pickles in comparison to the size of the burger, those are either huge pickles or little burgers. And I think we know which one it was. Still, the burgers were delicious and surprisingly filling. Their fries were outstanding. And so were their shakes. Overall it was good but I don’t know if I would order Danny Boy again. After we were finished eating, we watched Crypto on Hulu. It was okay. We decided that movies about hackers and crypto-currency don’t make for the best plotlines.
Overall, today was a bit disappointing all the way around. But we made it through another day. 😀🌄☁️🍔🍟📺❤️

Today was my birthday. Apparently, there was a full moon last night and we could still sort of see it out of our bathroom window this morning…
There were some really pretty clouds this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
This morning we ran over to the Kroger Fuel Station to fill up…
We had 80¢ off per gallon thanks to our Kroger Fuel points…
And then we ran over to Mad Llama for birthday coffee…
JAVA WHIPS!
And it was 29º on January 29th…
Good evening from Northside…
Birthday presents!
We had a $10 off coupon from DoorDash so we ordered dinner from China Food…
We ordered so much food…
But it was delicious. We can’t wait to order more dinners from China Food.
Later, we watched the Mavs lose to the Jazz. Bummer. And over in the Big Ten, #19 Illinois knocked off #7 Iowa…
Afterward, I saw this on Twitter…
And there was this one. 🤣 Poor Sparty. They’re having a rough year. I really miss Michigan basketball. I can’t wait until they’re done with their quarantine.
I had a really wonderful birthday. Especially for being in the middle of a pandemic…
Thank you for all the cards and birthday wishes. 😀🌄⛽️☕️🎁🥡❤️

It was very pretty all day today. It was really cold. But the sky was pretty all day…
Good morning from Northside…
We broke camp a little early this afternoon to go run and pick up pizza for our Thursday night pizza party…
But tonight, we got Domino’s for our pizza party, and we were pretty excited…
Ohmigosh. It was so good. We love pizza. We hadn’t had Dominos in a bit. Soooo good.
After we stuffed our faces, we took the dogs out around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
And good evening from our backyard…
Oscar has been working on his hedgehog’s nose for a while now. He chews on it almost every night and it’s getting comically long…
He loves that dang hedgehog. It’s one of his favorite toys.
And speaking of favorites, I love the comic book, Usagi Yojimbo. I lost track of it for a while. But recently, I rediscovered just how amazing the graphic novels are. Stan Sakai, the artist who created the series, is one of my favorite artists. I learned so many things about art and drawing from his his comics. I saw on Instagram that Usagi Yojimbo is coming to Netflix…
This has the potential to be so amazing if it stays true to the original. I’m very excited. Almost as excited as I was for our pizza tonight. 😀🌄❄️🍕🐾📺❤️
