coffee and typing

Hi Leacock

headed for 50 F today. 

The doings. Ran out, a tad early for Giant Tiger Sunday shopping ritual.
B / c the first 65 customers got a $ 10 off coupon, yes, I got one
Not much but $ 39 became 29

cookies, milk, bananas, chips and pretzels [ all on Canada s Food Guide ] 

Okay. 2 nd Guinness in glass 🍷 and iced. Despair will not take hold, here. Sitting / thinking is all. 

' when they say - Why, Why? TELL them that it s Human Nature ....... '

For YouTube music, use headphones of quality ( mine are AudioTechnique ) and look for 3D / 8 something etc videos. I'm settling for good headphones 🎧 🎧

if this town is just an Apple 🍎

Apr 30

 Stop needing expectation s

Expectations should match your stage in life 

not drive your life

You've been let down your entire existence 

When hope matches expectation - magic happened 

" hope is never mere " 

" rebellion s are built on hope "

πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡Ή April 29 of MMXXVI

 πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡Ή Oh ! typing and coffee and the world is right ...
boro has sun w/ cloud. branches seem still

pondering the day. 

Really, not uncomfortable in a light jacket. threatening rain. so damp

The day. Bills, verify Visa purchases. Oh, weigh in was 173 lb. Quite acceptable. 

Errata, mega: the Boys of Spring Johns Hopkins U. mlax are not dismal as previously reported. In fact, JHU mlax is ranked 7 th nationwide  and qualified tied for 1 st in the B1G conference.
JHU got the bye into the Semi s and play the U Michigan team [ 5 th in the B1G ].

Go ! Jays Go !

✈ 28 times in April, say ....

 ... coffee and typing. 
alright the world cannot be all bad, when you see ' our peony support stands come in three sizes..... ' in your mail box

rain and fifty F. say that 5 times and you got our week

Rain yes. 50 maybe 

Exercise yes. Quiet day

on the health front. my tiredness might not be entirely old age. Or mental or lacklustre. I recall reading that the flu could last up to 3 weeks. Tho', not necessarily flu - my enhanced cold did involve some phlegm. 
I now think that I still have some mucous in my lungs. YouTube suggestions included raising you hips via pillow and put your chest lower [ esp in the morning ]. This might get termed gravity feed for mucous.
Then I started dosing w / Buckley s cough syrup w/ expectorant [to loosen phlegm ].I'll give this a try for three days. P.S. Buckley s tastes terrible

πŸ’Ί Aprile 27

  πŸ’Ίwelcoming sun and temperature is rising or not falling is a better way of putting it

air is still

on the losing weight front. # 173.6 was today s number. OK  - what is healthy well for me, this is relatively good. 
in fact, in 1971, while working the summer at a research camp, the Cpt of our research tug said ' what's your weight now [ we were 19 ish ], multiply that # by 1 1 / 2. Crikey 240 !!!!!!!! 

so you see 17 _ is not bad

got out to retrieve prescriptions. Betaderm, for my ongoing rash / allergy problem. I occasionally develop little bumps that can spread. Lately, the spread has not been too aggressive. Past occasions, meant little bumps moving up the arm from my forearm - across the shoulders and down the other arm [ extreme one that ]. And it appears to be a plant allergy.Thus, long sleeves and pants while gardening.

Next is an antibiotic, Fucidin to relieve pain and fight infections. This is specific for me, at the corners of my finger nails. The skin cracks and infection begins. Fucidin stops the pain and infection overnight. Other topical [ over the counter ] treatments maybe two days. The strength is much higher in prescription dosage [ maybe 4 times ]

Plus 4 bananas cost 84 cents.
