Free Ice Cream Cone

On March 19, 2000, Dairy Queen will give away a free ice cream cone. I will chance the drive-up window. Oh poo! Canceled!

We did not go to church today. Tommy is very unhappy; I am relieved.  It was my idea. I wonder how many of the older people did not show up. All but three or four are over 60. We have heard nothing.

Yesterday, a Master Gardener came and helped me put together four boxes, fill with dirt, and plant my plants. All this was provided for free by an Auburn research grant. Tomorrow, I will give you details.

Last year, I could barely put my left foot on the floor to walk. It was so tender that the doctor ordered an MRI to see if I had broken a bone in my foot. I had not. My pain was caused by age-related arthritis. I have had touches of this in other places, like my thumb of my right hand.

The PhD nurse practitioner suggested a pill for the pain. Then, she came back in and told me she was giving it to me in a gel form. It seems to be working. Not sure. Th pain is not debilitating anymore. So, that is something.

I do not intend to go into a store or other place where there are others.  How about you?

  2. We stayed home from Church again today. My husband had bronchitis and Pneumonia and was on antibiotics and other meds all last week so not taking any chances. He has been resting a lot this week. Take care.

      He will probably especially susceptible. I don't blame him for not taking chances.

  3. I wrote a comment then might have deleted it instead of publishing it. Yep, that's the way the day goes today. We stayed home from Church since my husband is still recouperating from Pneumonia and Bronchitis. Antibiotics are done and he is feeling better and not coughing but still very worn out. Take good care of yourself (I know you do!) and will talk soon.

    1. Anne,
      This church should cancel. But, there will be no streaming.

  6. The church here has streaming services, so that helps.

    1. This church does not have the capabilities to do so, and most of the people could not access it. The minister lives 40 miles away and he could put up a video, but still, can they access it? Probably not. It is nice for people who need it.

  7. I am chancing an appointment with the dentist today.
    Otherwise no going out - not much choice really as so much is closed.

    1. Ur-spo,
      Unbelievably, I had just had the thought that I may need to rethink my dentist appointment. I am going. My dentist suits up anyway. You would think he is in a pandemic all the time. But, I am glad he takes precautions.

  8. I'm in NYC and just about everything is closed. Restaurants can only do takeout and delivery. I'm still doing a lot of walking to keep my sanity.
    I use the topical gel for sciatica and it's worked very well, without the side effects of other meds. Hope it works as well for you.

    1. Buttercup,
      We drove around Bessemer and it was quiet. I got an outing when I went to doctor and got a cookie from Cookie Fix. I wonder if we use the same gel.???
