These three foods MAY WEAKEN COVID 19.
I am just too tired. It is 7 pm and I still have to fix dinner. Since lunch was late and heavy, this is going to be something light and simple, like a salad, maybe some plain meatballs.
These three things won't be hard to find or eat.
Bananas are within arm's reach. Since it is wet all over the northern half of the state, the roads will freeze tonight. Thankfully, I have bananas. Otherwise, I would now be out getting bananas if I did not have any.
First world problem? Yes, I have so much more than bananas.
Last night, amazingly, my feet were warm. So, I slept well. Now, my feet are almost skinny again. I need to keep them skinny for my comfort. And health. We still keep the heat at 64F, so I am not sure how I kept them warm. AND, I keep my feet on the ottoman.
However, I am still barefoot and in short gown. Tommy dresses more warmly. I have a light, soft, knit jacket I often slip on so my arms will not get cold. It is going down to 14F tonight, so Tommy has gone out to hang a bulb in his washer so it won't freeze.
Good News
My allergist has been approved to receive the Moderna vaccine! I have had my name in for a month. This vaccine will be for those who are patients of the allergist. So, now the doctor must receive the vaccine. I am much relieved he is approved since I had a bad reaction to a vaccine and so did my infant daughter 4 years later.
How cold is it at your house? What is the projection for tonight?
Is anyone having a vaccine at an allergist office?
At the dentist on Wednesday, the hygienist asked me to swish a liquid for at least 30 seconds. It tasted like mouthwash. Tonight, I was reading an ARTICLE that was discussing the efficacy of using mouthwash to reduce the viral load of covid19. So, I will be swishing with mouthwash every day and most likely after I come in contact, no matter how close or distanced, with anyone who is not Tommy. Interesting?
Okay, so that was just debunked, so no need for forty people to tell me...lol.
On Wednesday, my absentee ballot arrived. Oh MY Gosh! It is so complicated. Not the ballot, but the paperwork that goes with it. But, I will tackle it once I am rested. Okay, it is Thursday and I am relatively rested. I will go online to learn about the options on the back of the ballot.
I brought out the rest of the Halloween decorations where Tommy could reach them. I asked him to bring in certain things to hang. He came back and told me there was a bag of six ghosts. Obviously, I overlooked those. Soooo, I spent the next thirty minutes gettng them ready to hang. They are long, white plastic bags that need to be stuffed, have head tied off, and a hanger attached. We opted to stuff with plastic bags instead of paper. He is now out in the yard decorating the tree in the front yard.
There is a pumpkin to hang. I suggested his hanging it on the ramp railing. He had a better idea--hang it on the small shepherd's hook. I was bemoaning the fact we would have to go out and turn off the lights on one decoration--4 stakes. He said he was thinking about sticking them in my flower/veg pots. So, he is actively participating and thinking about the decorating the yard before I comment on anything.
We both needed this distraction. The $3 spent last fall was well-spent. Friday, I spent another $3, the last I will spend.
Speaking of distractions--he needed a food distraction. Last week, I bought two packages of Hot Pockets, one for each week, just something different for him. I wasn't crazy about them. When we do get a burger, he always pays and it is his idea 90% of the time. I know he is going to eat this stuff, but I am trying to reduce the cost.
Friday, we both had a flu vaccine at Publix, collected our $10 gift card, and spent it--buy2get1 Dasani Water, two a2milk half gallons for $4.59/each, bananas. I did get bowtie pasta. So, we were out $5 for the haul.
We did fill out our absentee ballots. Since I need to renew my driver's license, I am afraid to make a copy of the expired dl and send it in. That means I will have my picture made with covid hair. GAH! It is a fright, so straight. I will have it to remember this time forever. Then, we have to get them in the mail asap.
I am in the Halloween mood. With my black and white outfit, I am wearing my silver-black bracelet and a huge spider ring with purple stones. I feel spooky festive...lol.
Last night, Tommy said there was a bag full of ghosts. So, we stuffed ghosts and he has decorated the yard. It looks quite festive. I had him drive by and come back around the block and pass the house again so I could see it over and over.
It was funny this evening when our arms starting hurting from the vaccine. I had mine in the right arm. I reached to the right and felt a twinge of pain. At just that moment Tommy said his arm had just started hurting. So, I suppose the vaccine does not hurt when you can complain to the person giving shots. We just whined a bit to each other.
Okay, I have to go and slave heating this 2-cup container of soup for Tommy. What are your plans so far for Halloween decorating or celebrating?
This article is worth reading every word. It is moderately long, so instead of my writing drivel and you reading it, try reading this instead. We know my beloved Coke does not "cause" Covid19, but the article is interesting on many levels. Interesting?
Okay, I have things to do instead of write.
