It was cold when I woke up this morning - 39 degrees - time to get out my Lasko heater. Once I am moving around I won't need the heater as we are looking at a high of 74 today.
Other than a quick trip to the grocery and to the doctor, I haven't been out much the whole month of October. It's mostly a matter of self-quarantine - I know I'm not contagious but if I start coughing the general public won't be so sure of that. So rather than alarm others, I've tried to cut down my outings to a minimum - the most people I've been around at one time was last Saturday's meeting that I attended, and the stars must have been in my corner because I didn't sniffle or cough at all the entire time. I am ready to go back out into the"world" now, but it is not easy.
LATER: I went outside to sweep some of the leaves that clutter my driveway - the ones that blow over from the Park's trees across the street. I couldn't believe how quickly I started feeling the effects of allergies. When I returned from NY one of the first things I did was to sweep up the piles of leaves in my driveway, and that started the whole thing. I wish it would get down to below freezing some night and maybe it would clear the air.
This morning I looked through my cookbooks and the booklet that came with my breadmaking machine, plus did a search of the internet with the thought of making my own rye bread. I have also wanted to check out a German deli/bakery about 8 miles from here, and maybe try their offerings. But the energy just wasn't there, and I don't know where it is going to come from. I'm planning a high protein meal this evening, so maybe tomorrow I'll feel more like venturing out.
Having watched several tv programs about identity theft I'm feeling a little paranoid. While I keep away from social media and phones that track one's location, and I don't buy much online, I worry about the online items I do purchase. Also, while I wouldn't think of using Facebook or Twitter, there IS this blogging world that we are so caught up in. If you do a search of your name you will be amazed what you come up with. I found one entry leading to my blog that was half written in the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet and half in our English alphabet, and that is not a good thing. If anyone has an answer to the dilemma of how to limit the information that is available, I'd sure like suggestions. Of course, Google is one of the worst offenders - I spent a lot of time trying to remove my surname from their programs but just haven't been able to do it.
- Problems With Aol Mail
I've just been able to access my AOL mail and it's nearly 2:00 pm! I don't know what their problem was but it affected a lot of people from what I can tell. I was talking to my son on the phone about it, and he replied that I could...
- A Day With Liam
I had Liam today - Steve had to drive to a meeting in San Francisco, and Meg had to work. Steve hasn't been feeling well and Meg went home early because of being sick. I spoke with Jeannie and she sounds really bad too. We all have...
- Another Day In My Pj's
It's after 7 pm and I'm ready for bed since I never got dressed this morning! I have no motivation and am somewhat anxious about my surgery, one week from today. Also on Thursday this week I will get the 2nd root canal finished. ...
- Back On Track
I'm feeling much better today, and I think I just ate something that didn't agree with me. Or maybe it was something else, but I'm not interested in finding out what it was! I got new insoles for my walking shoes today, as I'm going...
