Miracle Whip to Fertilize Plants

 Today, I was talking to Lynda about gardening. She said her squash planted in the ground did not do as well as they should last year. I told her I used Miracle Whip on my plants in pots. I just added more water and sprayed Miracle Whip on their little flower faces and talked to them. I did the same with a pink dogwood that grew really tall. Maybe she should try Miracle Whip on the squash plants, I suggested. 

I let out a startled denial and she spluttered something at the same time. I meant MIRACLE GRO! Yes, I am exhausted once again this afternoon. I had a total of 4.5 hours sleep on Monday and another 4 hours last night.

Let me reiterate! "Don't use Miracle Whip on plants!" 

My hand where the IV was placed is free of any mark or bruise. I am shocked. I have never had an IV, especially a failed IV, that did not bruise. And that is two sticks in the same place. I got lucky with him. I will certainly commend him to his employer. Most phlebotomists barely hold gauze against the site or ask me to do it. Hmmm. Maybe they need to hold it really hard and tight and as long as he did. once, I had a bruise from my arm pit to beyond my wrist to hand. It took weeks to heal and I answered plenty of questions from strangers. 

It is almost 8 pm and still warm--65F. I have been thinking about plants all day--flowers and food. 

How big were your bruises from a needle?"\

What is your worst/best/funniest malapropism?

It's Wednesday?

 This morning, I thought it was Tuesday. That delusion has stuck with me all day. I had plans for Tuesday, so I suppose they will be pushed to Thursday. I hate when I don't get the day right all day!

My hand developed a third bruise. I think it is because I am overusing my hand sorting things, handling paper, and occasionally lifting something not very heavy. However, even three pounds is too much for my hand.  My hand is achy, but I have age related arthritis. When I get another bruise, I will consult the doctor since I have never bruised easily.

I ordered the long hot-water bottle and decided it was not for me. With water in it, it was too heavy. It did not stay hot as long as the ad said. The rubber bottle would not come out of the knit sleeve easily enough.  And, Tommy had to put it back in the knit sleeve. When I tried to put hot water in it with the knit sleeve and got water all over me, the floor, counter and the sleeve.

The reason it was sent back was the storage instructions. It needed to hang upside down to drain. But, there was no hole so I could hang it and I was not going to clip in with a clothes pin, even if a clothespin would go onto the thick rubber. So, I called well before the deadline to return it.  

The woman at Amazon was very helpful, but could not find it. As it turns out, Amazon gave me a refund. Then, she still could not find the listing in my account. As it turns out, I was not charged, got a refund, and got to keep it!  I tried to get them to take it back AND to get the refund returned to Amazon. No, they would not. So, I have the hot water bottle that they told me to keep or donate or sell. 

Okay, I am sleepy and tired of typing, as my hand hurts. I did comment on blogs, so this is it for me, today.

Has Amazon ever sent you anything without charging you?
