I received a letter from my dental insurance and did not open it. I called to see if my insurance was still in effect or to find out what the bad news could be. The letter was at home and I was in the car. So, it appears for an extra $3/month, I have partial coverage for dental implants. Well, I said "yes" to that deal. I need this. There are other added benefits, too.
Wednesday night, after coming home from Cullman, Tommy had the extra soup for his dinner. I took a late nap and had the salad and something else. I was just too exhausted to even think about cooking.
As soon as I publish this post, I will be finding a place to get blood drawn. I need a place that will give me a pain shot or a place with the vein finder or a magician.
There is a list a mile long of places I need to call, things to return, and things to purchase. I am now making cardinals. Of course, the pattern is mine and I paid someone to cut them out. I glue, attach an eye screw, spray them, and they are ready to hang in a tree. Yes, I "made" them. I just need red paint for these. I plan to sell them.
I have already made 1 blackbird and 10 blue birds and 10 cardinals. That makes 21 birds, so far. Well, they are all cut, but in various stages of assembly.
So far, this October I have been able to avoid being ill. It will be only the second time in twenty years that I have not had to take multiple rounds of antibiotics and spend days in bed during October. I even failed a class the first year of being ill all October. So, I am pleased, very proud of the state of my health so far this October.
I put my foot down about unloading the dishwasher soon after they are washed. Since then, the sink is always clean as I put the dishes into the dishwasher immediately, the way I did it forever until the dishwasher broke. There is a "rinse and hold" function which I will use this afternoon and then load dinner dishes and run it tonight or tomorrow morning. I am very pleased with not having dishes in both sides of the sink, on counters, and on stove.
The Pig had free Wickles Pickles or relish with $10 purchase, which was easy enough to do this last week. I got the relish instead for Tommy.
I am in the mood for Chow Chow and a pot of blackeyed peas. I may not make them a month or so, but I have the urge. How about you? Do you ever make chow chow? I might try that.
