Finally! I’m beginning to get my kitchen back together! I unpacked all but two boxes (canned goods) and managed to get the upper cabinet shelves adjusted to proper height and the glassware back in place. In addition, I gave the upper cabinets a wash down – the dust is unbelievable. That took most of the afternoon but I have a semi-functional kitchen at this point.
I’m still waiting for a shipment from KraftMaid for the proper drawer stops (the company sent the new pull out drawers with the old stops attached which will not engage with the rails. Nor have I received my spice rack pull out nor the replacement glass door. All have been promised and all have, theoretically, been shipped.
A huge amount of cardboard from the cabinets was put out for bulk trash pickup today and Baxter Restoration came by Tuesday and picked up most of their tools. I can now park the jeep in the garage once again. It looked so forlorn sitting out on the swale.
It seems this renovation project may actually be drawing to a close. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
On Tuesday, I drove to Broward College, South Campus, my old campus, to meet with Debbie, the lab manager. This was the first time I have returned to campus in five years. Debbie and I are old friends from my teaching time and she always bent over backwards to make sure our labs were prepped correctly. It was good to see her!
It seems she has been put in charge of putting the Wall of Fame on the Science Department web site. We started the Wall of Fame many years ago as a means of recognizing students who had gone on and become successful – whether in the science field or not. The department chair at the time approved a budget to have a framed photo made, a didactic (in the museum sense of the word) of their bio placed next to their photo for display to incoming students.
We tied the award to our Science luncheon where we welcomed science majors. Student Life would approve a small budget for food and drink and we always got great attendance, particularly when book publishers provided door prizes to the students.

One student was given a full scholarship for his entire medical school career at the University of Miami, another went to Harvard, another got a PhD in biochemistry from Penn State, another went on to a master’s degree at the University of Florida and eventually into politics, and another ended up getting a master’s degree in physicians assistant [rpgra, at UF and working for a well known and regarded pulmonologist – to the point when the pulmonologist moved, he took the PA with him. I think by the time I left we had at least 15 former students on our Wall of Fame.
I’m glad to see they are including the old members of the Wall of Fame on their web site. Of course, when they moved to the new science building, they failed to take the existing Wall of Fame with them and have lost all the information.
When Debbie texted me about it, I looked through a bunch of old CD’s I made as a backup to my college computer and luckily, we found all the bios that were made into didactics. She should be able to pull all those together. There were a few photos on the disk I left with her and I found another photo I emailed her. I’m not sure they will be able to completely restore the original wall but I certainly hope so.
I had an energy boost today. I did my walk, my yoga, my long set of laps in the pool and eventually got around to my bike ride (around 3.7 miles). All of that added to climbing up and down a step stool putting things away in the upper cabinet. To be honest, the step stool part was the hardest. Actually, keeping from falling off the step stool was the hardest.
My biceps still reminds me of the surgery every day. It gets better, it doesn’t ache like it used to, and I have learned to ease up on it when it gets noisy.
So, the president has Corona. He still refuses to wear a mask. He still plans on the debate and to continue to campaign. I fear for him, for the people around him, but mostly, I fear for our republic.
In tribute to Johnny Nash, I recommend “I Can See Clearly Now.” Hopefully, Trump will be able to also. I really love this song.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
