Every day it seems I'm klutzy and have something happen. A few days ago I spilled a full glass of water first thing in the morning. The next day I brushed my arm against a wine glass on the counter and it fell to the floor and shattered (fortunately, I had drained the wine!). I forget what happened yesterday but I think it was a 2-event day. This morning I was holding my coffee cup in my hand and the computer on my lap when I must have shifted my position slightly. I don't think any damage was done - a few drops below the keyboard, but I was worried I might have ruined the touch pad. Everything I touch seems to fall, break, or be damaged in some way.
This morning I tried the milk-and-tumeric trick before jumping into the shower. I did my face, hands and arms, and dang, that stuff is messy and definitely stains things you accidently touch, such as the bathroom door! I left it on for about 10 minutes and jumped into the shower to rinse it all off. I can't really tell any difference just yet, but I'll give it a few days. I followed it up with some coconut oil on my face. Fortunately the smell dissipates quickly. I think I look lovely, but then you are aware of how bad my eyesight is!
Then I drove to the market because I needed a bottle of olive oil. I buy it directly from the source (Bariani) even though it is sold in the grocery store. Just to hear the kindly older Italian gentleman say "Mille grazie" makes my day. I've been sauteeing mushrooms, onions, and veggies a lot lately, and last night had to add a pat of butter to the last of my olive oil to stretch it. The result was very tasty! A big skillet full of stir fry veggies plus a baked filet of beer-battered wild Alaskan cod - heavenly! (I sprinkle "Santa Maria style" seasoning plus a few others from my spice cabinet on the veggies. Superb!)
By the way, driving to market in the bright sunlight I detected a slight yellow cast on my hands. Maybe it's my imagination. On the way back I noticed that the beautiful flowering trees and bushes are competing with the weeds everywhere for "best in show". Sacramento spring comes early, and the flowering trees are gorgeous! I have one in front of my house that I can't stand because when the flowers fall they are accompanied by red seeds about the size of blueberries. They are a mess and since it doesn't happen all at once it seems I'm cleaning them up for weeks.

Last night I poured a glass of wine, using one of my better wine glasses, and damned if I didn't brush my arm against the glass sitting on the countertop and spilled the wine plus broke the glass! I don't know what it happening to me but I do...

My house was pelted by rain throughout the night, and I even got up to check spots that I've had leak problems with in the past. The roof treatment works so far, and I didn't even have any water dripping in through the swamp cooler. ...

Is anyone else having problems with sitemeter? Mine was working just fine one day and then turned into a "black box" the next. I can click on the box and see the statistics page, but now it just gives totals and doesn't break down...
