A Tomato and a Rant

When we left the house on Saturday, there was one perfect grape tomato. I picked it, wiped it off, and once in the car, Tommy bit it in half and I took the other half. It was delicious. 

Saturday night Tommy had the last lamb chop, baked potato, green beans,  salad: cucumber, yellow squash, baby carrots and Italian dressing and whole strawberries for dessert.

In a very few minutes on Saturday, Tommy and I managed to clean out two more boxes from the room where my things from years ago are stored here. It is amazing how much two boxes and a flat box being gone make a difference. I am in no hurry to get it out since it hurts me. But, a little done each day will see it cleaned out soon. Okay, not cleared out maybe but I can go for organized, lessened.

I have searched the internet for a clothes iron that has a smooth sole plate and does not spew steam. I hate a steam iron. Even if I buy a steam iron and never put water in it, there are still the holes in the sole plate. I have mentioned before that Tommy has never owned an iron or ironing board. If I am to sew, I need both. 

I can put a sheet down and use that for an ironing board, but the iron is still necessary for some things. A travel iron might work. What I won't do is get one of the little short boards to use. They are just a nuisance. 

Today, I finally found a thermometer. It is oral, not touchless. My thermometer was destroyed and he has never owned one.  I bought two more boxes of gloves. I am still searching for an oximeter. I found several blood pressure cuffs, but I don't know what kind, what I am looking for. Can anyone give me a clue as to what to look for in a blood pressure gauge/cuff?

On Saturday I was in line for over 30 minutes trying to check out. I thought I was going to explode but kept my mouth shut out of fear. A kid was riding a bike in and out of people social distancing. 

What I heard: 

Communist
trying to tell us what to do
Reds
666
chip under our skin
that 8 years I spent in prison
I know how to make a snare
no chip for me
I can catch enough food
mark on our forehead or no food
mark on hand to purchase

All the while the PA system was blaring a very creepy message about social distancing and how the store was going to care for us. I would have to be medicated if I were subjected to all this very often. 

Do you know if anyone still makes a full-sized dry iron? What is most important in blood pressure cuff/gauge? Any suggestions/brands? Have you been in a place where the people saying such things about conspiracies?

Tommy died

I am distraught! He died at 12:15 am on 3-14.
