Moving them all inside, for the pressure wash that will happen either tomorrow or the next day. So now I live in a little jungle of potted plants!
Yesterday I enjoyed having some friends over for a pot luck lunch. I got the cold cuts, bread, lettuce and lime slices for our water. These friends get a kick out of ordering water with lime when we eat out. So I tried to oblige. They brought several salads and the tomatoes to go on our sandwiches, as well as whipped cream for our "make your own banana split."
It didn't go as well as I hoped, since my friend who had the furthest to travel couldn't make it. So we scheduled going to her area and eating with her soon.
And another of my friends was undergoing some stomach issues so didn't want to eat anything at all. I kept offering her soup, toast etc. all the motherly gestures to help settle her stomach. She kept refusing. But she had brought the salads, so we definitely appreciated her contributions.
The banana splits didn't end up being of interest to the other two visitors, though one had a teaspoon full of ice cream with lots of whipped cream. We shared that the other two had held the can up and squeezed some into their mouths at one time or another, but I hadn't. I did say I'd had whipped cream sex once, and one of the other women (all over 60 mind you!) said she had too. And that was all we were going to share on that subject.
Since I was coughing all night, as well as this morning, I've canceled my PT and lunch today. I hope it becomes manageable by tomorrow, when other friends have scheduled a day trip! I'll let you know. I may mask up when in the car and going in stores with them!
My cough of course is the recurring chronic one, but involves a really ugly sound getting stuff out, so I don't want people to think it's catching. (Hopefully not.) Anyway, I'm just doing plant re-place-ing today.
It's nice and sunny out, so they will have the shock of indoor lights for 2 days. I think they can cope.
