My Daily Travels

Last night the severe thunder and lightning storm aided in helping me sleep soundly. I woke up this morning feeling much better. Of course, day three of taking my antibiotic probably had a bit to do with this sudden feeling of well-being. We are supposed to hit a 60-degree temperature today, so even...

I woke up a few days ago with an aching jaw with pain that emanated to my left ear. I took 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen and forgot about it up until the painkiller wore off later in the day. I woke up again the next day with the same pain except that it was worse, and the left side of my face was a... Sign in to see full entry.

We are experiencing an unseasonably warm day here in Pittsburgh with a temperature of 70 degrees, but the high winds are ruining any chance of spending the day outdoors dining on a spring meal at the picnic table. I guess you just can't have it all. Sign in to see full entry.

These are just a few of the most popular pizza joints in and around Pittsburgh that offers pizza by the slice, but since it is so popular in my area, the entire list of pizza eateries could go on for days. My personal favorite is the Rockaway Pizzeria which makes the Frankenstein pizza that is a... Sign in to see full entry.

Due to binge-watching the Mayor of Kingstown which has a few episodes that were filmed in our backyard, we missed the Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl Game.

John nor I have ever attended a "Celebration of Life" service, but we have recently learned that it is held in lieu of a traditional funeral. Our sister-in-law passed away on February 1, 2023, at the young age of 61 after battling with health issues from a heart transplant that she had a few years... Sign in to see full entry.

Thirteen years ago Pittsburgh and the surrounding neighborhoods were hit by, "Snowmageddon," with 48.7 inches of snow being recorded over the month of February in 2010. The snowstorm arrived on February 5th and dumped just over 21" of snow in Pittsburgh by the end of the day on February 6th, making... Sign in to see full entry.

I normally choose pizza for our Friday night dinner, but today is National Pizza Day, so I might as well go with the flow. My #1 choice is mushroom pizza, but I have yet to eat a pizza that I didn't like. Pineapples and ham are considered taboo by the majority of pizza lovers, but I actually like it...

Today is not a favorable one as John and I have an appointment with the IRS this afternoon. I am hoping for the best possible outcome in our favor, but the odds are stacked against us if the past few years are any indication. One thing in my favor today is that I do not have to cook dinner. John has... Sign in to see full entry.
