Karma can be a bitch. Not sure why someone would think they could hold mass rallies without a mask and not become infected with Covid-19. Perhaps now the gentleman in the White House will take the pandemic a little more seriously. It’s beginning to look like the entire presidential staff is testing positive.
As I start writing today’s blog, it is raining. Again. We’ve been under coastal flood watch for the last three days. This looks like it is setting in for the day and it’s only 1:45 pm. At least I got my walk, yoga, and swim in before the deluge. It was also pool filter cleaning day. Tomorrow is really exciting – clean house and wash clothes. Such are the times in a pandemic. Oh wait, I was doing this stuff before the pandemic.
Today was supposed to be the last day of work on the kitchen other than touch up paint on Monday. As Danny worked to install the pull out drawers, he discovered the lock mechanism did not fit the rails the drawers slide upon. I doubt Home Depot sells the proper drawer locks (they prevent the drawer from being pulled all the way out and onto the floor). That means waiting for a shipment of the locks (2 per drawer) from KraftMaid. Remember, I said December.
Robert of Baxter Restoration is going to try to find the locks from a store in Pompano Beach. He thinks they have them. If he gets there and gets back with them today, we may be on schedule to finish everything by Monday.
The latest problem is Danny can’t find the pegs that fit into the sides of the cabinet to hold up the shelves. That box may have been tossed with a lot of other cardboard boxes at the beginning of the week.
In older men, the problem may often be deterioration in the arteries of the brain or the heart. tab viagra amerikabulteni.com And if a man is having relationship while suffering from this, it can be painful, levitra without prescription disabling and even fatal. The medicines add more love, affection, connection, satisfaction viagra 25 mg and pleasure in a relationship. If you have taken a dose of generic viagra soft a day is enough.I will admit the new rails for the drawers are far more substantial than the old rails. The last few years, the plastic pieces on the old rails were breaking off and I was having to jury rig a method of reattaching the rails to the walls of the cabinet. These new rails look like they will outlast me.
I made an attempt at home made humus yesterday using an Ina Garten recipe. It’s pretty simple. I used two 15 oz. cans of chickpeas, drained and reserving the liquid, 4 cloves of garlic, the juice of two lemons, 8-10 dashes of Tabasco and putting the whole thing in a food processor until smooth. You add a little of the liquid of the chick peas to get the consistency you desire. It worked like a charm, and true to Ina’s word, it tastes better than the stuff you purchase at the grocery.
I use this stuff with just about everything, but especially for wraps. I smear a glob on the wrap and add whatever protein source I have like vegan “chicken” tenders” and add whatever I have: pickles, onions, spinach leaves, tomatoes, etc. and then wrap tightly. It makes a nice, light lunch. Then I undo all the good with either bite size Snicker bars, coffee ice cream or my caramel corn.
I guess since I wrote about camping in yesterday’s post it was inevitable that I have dreams about camping. The problem was I went to bed around 10:30 pm and waked at 12:30 am. It took a couple of hours to get back to sleep. According to my sleep monitoring app, I’m 48% under target for a three day period. That includes a 3 hour and 10 minute sleep on Wednesday night. Amazingly, it says I got 7 hours and 35 minutes sleep last night. I don’t buy that. I was awake from 12:30 am until 2:30 am and it shows I was asleep for part of that time. My CBD gummies can’t get here soon enough (scheduled for delivery tomorrow).
My song recommendation today is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Teach Your Children.” Hopefully The Donald has taught his “children” something about Covid.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
