\"\"<\/a>I took another day off on Sunday … almost. I began the day with a warm snuggle with my hunky partner, and thanked him again for everything he did to make me feel comfortable on Saturday. I got dressed, and because it was cold, I wore full leather — leather jeans, long-sleeved shirt, and Chippewa Hi-Shine boots. Just because I felt like it.<\/p>\n

I prepared a great home-made waffle breakfast with all the trimmings for my wonderful man. I still wasn’t very hungry, so I just had some orange juice and a little bit of waffle.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, I headed over to my aunt’s home to pay some bills for her. She asked me to take her to the Italian store to get some canoli that she wanted on a whim. I really didn’t want her to sit in the truck with me while I am still coughing and sneezing, and I didn’t really feel up to driving 10 miles just for some canoli. I told her that I would make her some home-made canoli later this week, and she said that she could wait.<\/p>\n

I then did our weekly grocery shopping with my partner. My partner suggested that we ask the store’s bakery specialist for some canoli, and I was pleased that she was able to make some for us on-demand. Saved me a lot of time and trouble, though I would have been happy to do that when I was feeling better.<\/p>\n

After dropping the canoli off to my aunt and enjoying making her happy and bringing a smile to her face, we came back home. We unloaded our stuff, and I prepared a light lunch for my partner. I still wasn’t hungry, so I had some juice.<\/p>\n

After that, I piddled around. I began doing tax work, sending out 1099-MISC forms to private contractors who have done work for various organizations and companies for which I am responsible. I visited a neighbor’s home who is the Treasurer of our homeowner’s association, but other than that, remained inside the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

While I was “piddling,” I made some yeast-raised focaccia. After it raised naturally for a couple hours, we applied toppings onto it and baked it. My partner loves his covered with all sorts of fresh veggies. I like mine with just a little cheese, and that’s it. After it’s baked in our very hot bread oven, it comes out crispy, much like a pizza, but without the oil and fat. It made a great dinner. We accompanied it with a small green salad. Nice, light meal, and I was finally hungry enough to eat.<\/p>\n

Oh, and did I say that I went to my aunt’s, the grocery store, and my neighbor’s dressed in full leather and tall boots? Do you think anyone said anything? Nope, not a word. Honestly, nobody really cares. One clerk at the store who knows that I ride a Harley asked me if I were riding today, and when I said that it was too cold, she just said, “okay.” … well, anyway, it’s common for me to go around in full leather, and not hear anyone say anything about what I’m wearing.<\/p>\n

I return to work today… I think I’ll be up to it. My cold is pretty much gone.<\/p>\n

Life is short: wear your boots and leather!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
