✈ 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

💺 Aprile 27

  💺welcoming 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.

🥃 XXVI of IV

 🥃' boro is blue sky and headed to  50 F w / not much stirring out there
we are green and growing

🚂 April 25, in the ' boro

 🚂 .... soggy is the word. Dunno, when the wet started but I noticed itfirst, about 6 AM [ the noise of wind and splatter ? ]

waking was a slow process / is a slow process. coffee and typing
a review of email, really clearing out the dross.
the phone is fine but wholesale dumping is best on the Chromebook

a slow moving day. document shredding for 4 weeks worth of items

dull. no wish to venture  out

🍁24 Apr

 ..... we are cool w/ cloud. But clean. Rain has done it's job.

Shopping this AM for milk and juice and yogurt and apple sauce 

Please note, milk was the essential and 2 nd trip was required b / c I forgot the milk  There must a word or phrase for ' went to buy X but forgot '

Amnesia or Alzheimer's does seem extreme 

Oh. On my emergency eye appt. ( past Tues ), I got rave reviews for ' clean and un - encrusted ' eye lid margins.

For 30 yrs, since Laser eye surgery to re - shape the cornea, I have been religiously treating Blepharitis.

Technically, Blepharitis and eye surgery are not related however quite a coincidence 

Twice weekly treatment is 10 - 14 min of sufficient eyelid warming followed by a massage and de - briding of the eye margins. Sterile lid wipes brush off debris and oil loosened by warming process.

Follow up. Whoops. Sun blasted out and made the day

🔌 ... XXIII of the IV

 🔌 sunny in the ' boro. mostly blue up there and the wind is stirring the lower branches. Temperatures as promised yesterday. Good on you

Wind is actually, brisk

Last night another re - union ala Chipotle for Leacock alums and staff. The alums came out a head 4 - 3. 

this completes my Leacock week. 
a alum is communication officer for the CCRA rec group
breakfast w/ an alum [ Expresso AM ]
last night

🎚 April 22 in the Scarbrough - Golfdale area

 🎚... not  sure where that Golfdale location comes from. But it appears on the Weather app locator for here

this week. hurdles cleared are 1) my lesion . blemish or keratosis is non lethal on my scrotum
2) my ' aura ' or pixilated vision spot in my field of view is not physically related to the eye itself. Therefore, causes would be environmental or neurological [ not necessarily good, that ]

further. I re newed my supply of Betaderm, a steroidal topical to fight itch and histamine producing bumps. I seem to have a flower allergy
And Fucidin cream. Not steroidal but antibiotic. Fucidin stops the pain and spread of infections at corners of my fingernails which happens regularly. Skin cracks and roughens and the pain starts. Fucidin is reliable

' boro is sunny. wind seems still w / temperature headed for near 60 F. Further, we will average 50 - 53 for seven days. All good that

Yesterday, at a former student [ friend ] s place  the topic of scary Sci Fi came up. I trotted out my ' pee producing ' frightener, the pod people movie. After, B .. looked up the movie, called Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and decided, No, he didn't need the trauma.

It seems, all my life, I needed to / wanted to carry emergency supplies e.g. matches, paper clips etc and, of course, on YouTube, there are multitudinous efforts at " Every Day Carry survival or emergency kits. "
Apparently, I need an Altoids [ metal lozenge can ]. Cute and protective. Thus EDC folks have their own custom assortment for the Altoid tins. I am shying away from metal [ flying restrictions ] and going for a reusable plastic bag. An ongoing project
