Equinox (Ostara) feast celebrating springtime renewal (tomorrow)
First, a disclaimer.… I i’m trying out Dick dictating on my iPad. It doesn’t seem to like me. Abou about the time that I gave up and turned it off it finally typed what I said. Cell so apparently, that is what it does
So now to give a bit of background. I’m once again planning to travel by air, and wanting to go as lightly as possible.
The test so far on the iPad has resulted in one whole post disappearing, but fortunately it was still on the laptop. I am having trouble with downloading photos with this program “Blogger” They are huge but I found a corner that could be pushed in.…maybe that will help.
But when I tried to open the saved blog on my laptop, which was stuck in drafts on the iPad, all the photos wouldn't open, as being too big files. I think that's a waste of investment for this old gal.
Canada you know who and some new animal write-ups for children, by the tennis courts.
So what’s new otherwise?
For the last few days I’ve lost my sense of smell and taste. Very frustrating when I ate ham and cabbage with vinegar and peach cobbler and they all tasted the same.…nothing basically. I sometimes could feel a bit of sweetness in the roof of my mouth. And of course I called my team of medical professionals.
The receptionist at the Dr.s office said I hadn’t had symptoms long enough to take a Covid test.…wait till next week.
Fortunately I also called the care coordinator, and he chased down that I’d had lower back pain such that I canceled a few things, and basically felt bad on last Mon. (this was Thurs.)
So he said, go ahead and come into office and get a good test, I’d taken an old one at home which showed negative. So I sat in my car while a nurse came out to swab me, and her test was also negative. Dr. listened to my lungs in the car, they were ok. (But I’d dealt with cough for the same 4 days, however, no cough when I saw him) So I went home, as he said it could be sinuses or viral, and may just get better on its on.
But I did have a hankering (does anyone else have such?) for a bacon burger and fries. So Wendy’s provided, and the first bite of French fries was like a spiritual awakening.
SALTY! It tasted salty to me. I can’t say much for all the things on the sandwich.…but I did love those fries!
Next morning (Sat.) I could taste the honey in my coffee, even if the coffee itself was just hot water to me. So I gave Starbucks a go with sugar and cream, a little yogurt and a muffin, and sat at their bit of cafe in the Ingles Grocery for my lunch. No new flavors.…even cherry yogurt and my favorite banana nut muffin. Oh well. Now I’ll just wait and see the next changes.…
In the meantime, I drove up a new road (to me) to find more blossoms. (see ya later for these)
But first lets finish Saturday morning.
And another Bradford Pear tree at my apartments.
