People are bugging me. Take your pick - I answer emails until 3:00 am or I start at 8:00 am. You’re not getting both.
Okay, let’s be honest, you’re not getting 8:00 am EVER. You should see my inbox though.
- Request for information - 8:02 am
- Hello, second request - 9:05 am
- Hello, is this account active - 10:15 am
If my office were open, I’d be on the clock from 1 pm until 7 pm. Just saying.

If you were to just Stay at Home, like you were told... none of this would matter now would it, eh!Some of this is fine -- enhanced cleanliness, etc.
On the tech end, the less touching of kiosk screens (for check-in, etc.) is definitely something that needs to be addressed. Somewhat related to this: back in early January, the ATM machine at my bank was updated to be 100% touch screen (prior to pandemic general awareness). So, once the health guidelines (COVID-19) suggested that touching public surfaces might not be the best thing, I wore gloves to use at the ATM. Problem was, that the touch screens react to heat, and did not respond to my gloved finger!(Hence, now I keep hand sanitizer in the car.)
Oh, I'd completely bypass the stupid ATM touch screen machine, but that would mean that I'd have to go to the stupid drive up window lane, wait in line, and I can never figure out how close to park my car to the teller tray, that pops out of the side of the building. Ugh.
The other (hotel) tech thing I hate is to expect a paying customer to use their own phone, to open the guest room door. What if a guest doesn't have that type of phone, or just doesn't carry a phone? Or, what if they have a phone and their battery runs out during the day? Do they have to wait 30 minutes someplace to charge up the phone, just so that they can open their guest room door?! Not to mention, why add some sort of outside software to your own phone (from the hotel -- Hilton, for example), and have it stored on your phone? What does the hotel do with that information from YOUR phone?
Sorry for the rant. Minnie's life is getting very complicated these days.
What touches my finger tips is of absolutely no concern to me. I have no plans to suck on my fingers, pick my nose or suck my thumb so if I really feel that concerned I would just keep some hand sanitizer handy, which I don't. Today I went to the store. I wondered around touching and putting stuff in the cart that was probably handled by dozens of people that I don't know anything about. I then got in my car and drove home, took those same items out of the plastic bags that probably were also touched by a significant number of possibly infected people, put the stuff away and when I was done, I went to the sink and washed my hands with anti-septic soap. Unless I have an open wound on my hands, no virus can get through my old, leathery, calloused skin. I did do this though...

So over the last few years, I have been struggling with physical issues. Some potentially lethal others just more of a PITA including two kidney stones and the last one went sepsis on me and came close to doing me in. I have been dealing with Prostate Cancer for 5 years which 8 months ago after a biopsy said that they couldn't find the tumor anymore, followed up two months ago with an elevated PSA. No emergency, no chance of meeting with someone to get an explanation. I have made major strides in my back issues after I talked the VA in letting me see a chiropractor. Since 2016 I have been dealing with side effects of Cataract Surgery, which has involved numerous abrasions of the cornea, large number of "floaters" and a great unknown that are probably going to involve a cornea peal. ** I should have known by now, but, they good old Covid 19 has delayed that possibility until at least August. That said, it still is a possibility of a correcting procedure on the horizon. Two weeks ago I had my semi-annual dental exam and cleaning and left with a clean bill of health only to end up there yesterday with some random pain in the back of my mouth (around my last molar). Poked and prodded only to have them not have a clue as to what is causing it. So am being sent to an oral surgeon on the first of June. In the meantime, I can chew things only if I like a really severe pain in my mouth. I can sit around all day without eating and not even have an ache. It's a real head scratcher for all of us. It just came on. I went to bed Saturday night with no mouth issues at all, and woke up Sunday morning feeling fine and as I tried to consume breakfast, the movement of chewing brought me to my knees. Right now it isn't awful but I am having to heavily medicate with Aleve to lessen the problem and allow me eat (small bites, very slowly).
I don't suppose I should be surprised because I have been stating for a few years now that aging is a really exciting time. You never know what you were going to wake up with as opposed to my very young years when it was who I was going to wake up with. I suppose the important thing in both scenario's that I wake up, I guess. At least this one has the potential of old age weight loss.

I should point out that the Surgery itself was a huge success and got almost 20/20 vision back until the side effects started. The Floaters were finally fixed by laser (easy) but, the cornea problem is from the abrasions that I developed and a new top layer of cornea has to be allowed to grow by taking the current top layer off. The will restore my vision, hopefully, back to constantly clear instead of clear for a moment and then distortion of the cornea causing some blurring. I feel that we were almost there and then came "19" and messed everything up.

We went to Walter’s Greenhouses. Absolutely packed. At least 50 groups of people snaked through the parking lot 2m apart. Pass.
We decided to try the grocery store garden centre. Score. I waited less than 15 minutes to get in.
$45. I want him. Actually there are two of them, but I only bought one. At checkout, it double scanned, so before she deleted the second one, I asked how much. $36. You totally know I went back and got his sister.
$362 and some odd cents.
Or not. We paid 2 dollars and something.
I still have almost $600 on my PC Rewards Card.

I'm sorry you're in pain. Have you tried eating foods you don't have to chew? Like applesauce, jello, soup? I got a severe ear infection when I was about 14 and I could hardly open my mouth let alone chew. I lived on applesauce and jello for a couple of weeks until it got better.So over the last few years, I have been struggling with physical issues.

So, it's my daughter's birthday tomorrow and she's turning 14. She decorated her own cake and we made chocolate panna cotta with almond whipped cream and biscotti crumble.

I forget....do you like blueberries? I've never had Tonga Toast, but this looks a lot like the french toast I make, but then I put homemade blueberry sauce on it, and it is definitely a *slurp*! Your niece must really love you!!

Well, it is mostly my daughter's work. I did very very little. I stamped out all the fondant butterflies and added the blue coloring to the icing. Oh, and I spooned the whipped cream onto the panna cotta. That's it. She did everything else. I kept asking if she wanted help, but she wanted to do it all herself.

I’m not crazy about blueberries. Strawberry compote ... yum!

Also good, but I don't know how to make that from scratch.....maybe I'll look up a recipe. I bet that would be good with french toast, too!

Curious to know why the dentist has referred you to the oral surgeon (that's usually for an extraction -- unless the oral surgeon also performs root canals). Wondering if a root canal might solve the issue. (That's not always the case, however, as sometimes a tooth needs to come out.)
I've been through a zillion dental experiences, and it's not uncommon that initial testing does not reveal the source of the pain, or even the specific tooth -- as sometimes you can have referred pain. Sometimes after a while, the pain might clearly "settle" and then it's easier for the dentist to figure out the best course of action.
