Slacker

June 8, 2017 Thursday

7:46AM Sassy
Good morning kid! Headed back to work!

9:28AM Phil
About time! Slacker

=====

You know… every now and then – not often – he says something and I know he’s joking, mostly… but… I decide I don’t have to write back for a while so I don’t tell him that staying home when you’re sick and working from there even though your brain is mush?  IS NOT SLACKING.  *sigh

Second chance

June 6, 2017 Tuesday

8:02AM Sassy
Good morning! Hope your Tuesday is off to a supper start! I’m still coughing up a storm, so working from home again today. Whee.

9:03AM Phil
Good morning! Happily working away.
Hope you start to feel better. Being sick sucks. 🙃

9:09 AM Sassy
Thanks kid… I am definitely on the mend… just have to keep going and sip soup!

10:52 AM Sassy
Part of the history… I adore it when an obit connects you to the person and their making the most of a second chance.

Another chicken soup

June 5, 2017 Monday

1:51 PM Sassy
Hope you’re having a marvelous Monday!

I’m still home coughing but getting some work done too.

5:55 PM
Ordered another chicken soup delivered – Chinese chick soup from Dumpling House.  It’s kind of like that thick egg drop with chicken and corn mixed in.  Hope this one fixes my throat! 

Two chicken soups day

June 4, 2017 Sunday

8:15 AM Sassy
So sick… bleh.  Hope you’re having a super Sunday!

2:10 PM Sassy
Eating avegolemono chicken orzo soup from Greek Corner – feels so good on my sore throat. 

I am so sick… taking liquid Dayquil and sleeping and drinking lots of water but still getting sicker.  Ugh

8:00 pm Sassy
Awake again – slurping rice chowder with garlic and chicken from Asian House.  Trying ever chicken soup I can get delivered to fix this blasted throat.  Please think healing thoughts for me!!

Fried clams

7:33 AM Sassy
Good morning kid!

12:37 PM Sassy
Hope you’re having a better day than I am…

The weather is cold and gray, I am sick with a bad cough and there is very sad news from Sis’ family.  Her mother-in-law dropped dead in her garden in last night.

1:24 PM Phil
Oh lord! So sorry. That’s why we need to make each day special. Hope you feel better. Pretty sunny day here and beers with my buddy later on

1:25 PM Sassy
Glad one of us is having a good day.

1:25 PM Phil
Having a pint at the local brewery

1:26 PM Sassy
Tasty?

1:28 PM Phil
[photo of him sitting outside smiling with a beer in his hand]
Delicious

1:29 PM Sassy
Awww… you certainly are!

1:30 PM Phil
Just sending a smile

1:30 PM Sassy
I so appreciate it!

1:35 PM Phil
Happy to help.
I love this town, it’s home

1:49 PM Sassy
Fun to see the places you go.
Were you really eating oysters at 10 o’clock last night?!

2:08 PM Phil
I was indeed and they were delicious! That and clam strips as thick as my finger

2:11 PM Sassy
oooh… I haven’t had clam strips in ages… need to get me some. The table next to us at CK Pearl on Thursday had them and it was all I could do not to reach over and grab a forkful.

2:33 PM Phil
They were so tender and delicious, not frozen either

2:34 PM Sassy
I am plotting to send Hubby out to Court House Seafood across the river to get me a plate of them.  I adore it when they’re crispy and meaty.

2:36 PM Phil
They may be my favorites. Used to be a little place in our hometown that served clam boats at the top of the hill. They were so good. Been in love with them ever since.  I try not to eat fried food but make an exception for these

2:40 PM Sassy
How’s your wife doing these days?

2:43 PM Phil
She’s good. Helping my kid do a shower for her friend today which brought us to the beach. Heading to NY in a couple weeks for our wedding anniversary and to celebrate my birthday Woo Hoo!

2:43 PM Sassy
She seems more smiley in photos

2:45 PM Phil
I think she’s pretty happy these days. She really dropped the bitchy attitude and has been much more go with the flow

2:45 PM Sassy
Nice!

2:47 PM Phil
And she is 20 lbs lighter and has more energy.
I’m coming up on 50 pounds down. Both doing well

2:48 PM Sassy
Sex any better?

2:53 PM Phil
No but that’s my fault

2:54 PM Sassy
Oh?

2:58 PM Phil
My wife is ready to go anytime.

3:01 PM Sassy
Interesting. That seems new.
Just noticed you touching her more… had hopes. : )

3:18 PM Sassy
Hubby is going to get me clam strips. : ) And chowder for my throat!

3:49 PM Phil
Enjoy the clams!

3:50 PM Sassy
Will post a photo if I can get a good one. Thanks!

5:52 PM Sassy
Triple clam supper from Court House Seafood – clam chowder, stuffed clam and clam strips dinner!

10:50 PM Phil
Dinner looked fabulous!

10:55 PM Sassy
It was! Cheap fast and good!

10:56 PM Phil
Yup! I am going back for more tomorrow

10:56 PM Sassy
How’s your pal?

10:56 PM Phil
Had a fabulous evening! Great dinner, scotch, cigars

My pal is good. Perhaps a little buzzed

11:00 PM Sassy
Seems like he is always fun

11:00 PM Phil
Always

I adore a post-work chance to chill and fill the “oops I forgot to get lunch” hole with Jim Brickman music, hibiscus tea and steamed dumplings at Dado on Church Street in Cambridge.

I’ve been puzzling over covfefe all day… it must have been something from a late night movie, right? Citizen Covfefe? Covfefe Actually? West Side Covfefe? Covfefeblanca?

Good for an old guy.

7:58 PM Sassy

7:58 PM Phil 
Woo hoo!  

7:59 PM Sassy
I ate oysters for dinner… thought of you!
8:00 PM Phil
Down 44 pounds and dropping

8:00 PM  Sassy
Wow!  That must feel amazing!

8:00 PM Phil
Oysters are great diet food
I can stick a watermelon in my old jeans. Six inches off my waist. I can do everything I ever did in the gym. I’m pretty pleased with that

8:02 PM Sassy
That is very special.
I could never do anything in the gym and I still can’t! 

8:03 PM Phil
Ha ha.  
8:03 PM Phil
Growing older but not up

8:12 PM Sassy
I hope never to grow up. 
There’s only one part of you I want to see grow.  ; )

8:54 PM Phil
It grows.  😛 
Especially when I think of you! 

8:54 PM Sassy
That is very very good.
