Finally

Last night, I finally got some sleep, ten hours. That does not fix my deficit, but I feel much more sane. I went to bed at midnight after getting an hour nap.

Then, this morning I weighed and had lost about ten pounds. AND, my ankles are no longer swollen like they have been for the last eight months. I have added and dropped some meds this last week, so I am not sure what did the trick for the ankles and weight.

The women from Auburn brought me more plants yesterday. We were gone. The woman called and said, "We just left plants and seeds on your porch!" I think she thought we were home since my car was here,  and she placed them and left in stealth mode. I laughed at her excitement.

She left one red pepper plant, two better boy tomato plants that really needed water, and an eggplant. I hate eggplant. Tommy hates eggplant. I have four pepper plants already. I only have one tomato plant, a cherry tomato. Anyone want an eggplant? I can leave it on the porch and you can get it.

Now, I must buy more tomato plants and zucchini. Yes, I could germinate seeds. But, here in the South, "times a wastin," Gardens need tomato plants now!  I believe it was Snuffy Smith who said, "Time's a wastin'. " in the funny papers. Remember him?

Now, I just need to figure out how to do all I must do today while keeping feet elevated...lol. The today list--color hair, wash a million dishes, clean out lettuce from garden boxes, plant tomatoes there, process vegetables. Of course, I must cook dinner, water things outside, make salads with fruit in them,

Okay, I sat here and did not eat breakfast and I am hungry for lunch, so the pb, MW, banana sandwich is on the menu with a glass of milk for lunch. This is my last banana, so that means I need to buy more today.

EDIT Sam did not understand. Well, I have read that pb and mayo, not MW, was a Depression sandwich. So! Lots of people in the South like this, mayo not MW. I did not know it was from the Depression. I just knew as I child I loved it with banana on it in my sandwich.

    1. SAM,
      PB and MW is heaven! Have you ever tried it? Neither of us like eggplant in any form. It would take a lot of Parmesan to hide it...lol Ues, I have had many iterations of eggplant.

      I do not want to start onion seeds this late. We will not use beet seeds as I hate beets worse than eggplant. I have so many Bell Pepper types of bedding plants already. But, I was glad to receive them.
