Done

The Animal Control Officer came Before 9 am and the possum is gone. The guy used gloves and a huge black plastic bag to hold the poor thing. The stench was beyond what I could bear. I rarely go over there, but I will assure I do not go back soon.

A friend came by to pick up things that people have said they want and do not come by. There is more room in the car. It is a glorious morning, no need for anything beyond my sandals and short sleeves. Well, I do have on pants, just nothing for cool weather. The sun is brilliant even though there is rain to the west that might be here or not very soon.

She also brought me a recipe for date balls. We had discussed this earlier in the week, and she did not forget. Since I will see her Tuesday at one of the free lunches, I have a list for her that I will carry.

I really want to pick daffodils since there are now so many all over the yard. Every year, I pick a bouquet and am so pleased with the beauty and fragrance indoors. Then, my allergies bother me so that I have to move them into another room. So, that is the plan.

The few times I have been in the hospital long enough to receive flowers, I had them removed immediately. I did not want to compromise my health with allergic reactions. And, I cannot have plants in the hospital because of the mold spore in dirt. It's annoying when I am ill to listen to people whine because I cannot have their flowers in my hospital room.

The tulips look as though they will bloom any day. For a few days, the lavender-pink tulips make a showy display with the yellow daffodils. I cannot wait!

Last night, I baked ground turkey Italian sausage. I baked it on a pan in the oven in one flat piece like it came from the Styrofoam. I cut it in four pieces before baking. I ate one and am not a fan. Three meals for exbf are separated by waxed paper and in one plastic bag.

This morning, I have a chunk of ground beef, 85% and 15% in the crockpot for exbf.  It will be packed in pint bags, one meal in each bag. Some will be crumbles or slabs to use as he pleases. I always use onions and garlic which he loves.

When he has bought ground beef or I have given it to him, he  cooked it all in patties at one time--no onions or garlic. Now, he cannot stand at the stove to do so. I suppose it has been three years since he actually cooked anything. He buys a meal, eats what I cook for him along with a can of vegetables, or brings home a fast food hamburger. He only uses a microwave now.

11:15...Rain just this minute! I thought it was going to miss me or at least hold off another thirty minutes until I got into the car...ugh. The sun went away just a few moments ago. At least I had a glorious few moments/hours of a warm spring day.

At 2 pm I lay down for a three-hour nap. I awoke feeling less than refreshed. My allergies are bothering me today. Eyes itch.

This evening, I picked up my online order at WM. I thought I would receive an email, but went to the pickup and it was ready. This is the order I used a $10 off code that came in the mail.

That was my day. It is not over, but I am.

Do your allergies bother you when you cut flowers and bring them into the house? Or, have them in a hospital room?
