Pandemic, Tendon, Renovation – Part 27

27 September 2020

I’m officially living out of boxes again.

I had to box everything up when they pulled out the lower cabinets and installed the new ones. Today, I took everything out of the upper cabinets and boxed what I could until I ran out of boxes. Then I took everything out of the lower cabinets.

Then I stored what I couldn’t box somewhere in the living room: chairs, couch, coffee table.

I had to take everything out of the new lower cabinets again since they need to install the pull out drawers. How did we survive without this modern convenience? Literally, I had to get down on my hands and knees to access the material back in the fartherest reach of the lower cabinets. It’s gotten to where I can hardly get down that low in the narrow galley kitchen I have and particularly difficult getting back up. Of all the features of the cabinets, the pull out drawers are the best. That galley kitchen is so narrow that if I bend over too far, I bump my butt on the opposite counter and get knocked forward into the other cabinet!

UPS delivered a package on Saturday that I assumed were the glass doors for the center cabinet. I texted Robert of Baxter Restoration that it had arrived. He asked me to open the box and check which I thought rather strange. It clearly had marked on the box glass cabinet door. It was a good thing I did. It was only one of two doors. I assume the second door will arrive tomorrow?

Robert swears they will appear on my doorstep sometime between 8:30 am and 9:30 am to start ripping out the old and installing the new. Any bets?

Covid positive test rates continue to yoyo. Yesterday they were up from the day before, today they are down. What was frightful yesterday was watching a few of the college games and seeing so many people in the stands watching the game. The first full day of college football was yesterday, September 26th. Mark your calendars two weeks from now and check the Covid positive rate in your state.

My ballot came in the mail on Saturday. I had already printed out the sample ballot for my precinct and so it was a simple thing to fill out the official ballot. I’m going to take a chance and put it in the mail tomorrow. I would drop it off at a voting box but when I go to the Broward Supervisor of Elections web site, they don’t list any locations for voting boxes. I can wait until October 19 when early voting begins and drop it at an early voting site, but I don’t want to wait that long. Broward counts all mail-in ballots as they come in. I can also check on their web site to see if they received my ballot, and a day or two after see if they counted my vote. That will give me enough time to check on the ballot and perhaps vote in the general election if they lose the mail-in.

Another reason I am taking a chance with the mail is that the ballots went out on Wednesday of last week and it appeared in my box on Saturday so it seems our local post offices are taking the voting process seriously.

For the past few months, I’ve been craving home made caramel corn (Crackerjacks). My first batch two months ago had some burned kernels of popped corn. Good but not great.

My second batch about about a month ago was good, no burned kernels, but not enough salt.

My third batch yesterday is pretty good. By now, my desire for caramel corn is waning but I plan to eat the two gallon baggies that I currently have anyway.

Sometime in June (or was it July) I went vegetarian. Other than trying to use up the last little bit of meat in the freezer (very little) I’ve stuck with it and haven’t missed meat at all. I try to eat as much fruit as possible, as many grains and legumes as I can and I really like how I’ve lost weight with the diet. My official doctor’s weigh in is I lost 6 pounds. My home scale (where I weigh sans clothes) I’ve lost 10 pounds. I’ve actually put back on 3 of those but I really do feel better.

The one negative consequence seems to be loss of energy. However, that could be due to my restless nights, the pandemic, the election, etc., etc., etc. One positive result seems to be I have less body odor. In South Florida, all you have to do is walk outside and you break into a sweat. After my walk, I used to notice a distinctive body odor. Now, when I finish my walk, I don’t detect it. So, either I have Covid or there’s something about my diet that is decreasing that problem.

I read several years ago that during the Vietnam war, Viet Cong could smell American soldiers before they saw them or heard them. It supposedly had something to do with the meat in the diet of Americans which was rich in amines. Maybe there is something to that.

Stay tuned and stay safe!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
