Re: Covid exposure: shopped at grocery superStore yesterday cuz fam *NEEDED* ice cream, so spent time today cleaning produce I left in the garage

Dealing with ant infestation in the kitchen...seem to be appearing from where counter meets backsplash, near sink; at least I was finally allowed to have some of the cannisters removed off the counter!

Went for walk in the woods before shopping & hours later felt a tick crawling on my head; took a very long shower

Fam bugging me too, off and on, which isn't completely unusual.

3 things I'm grateful for:
-health of fam, so far
-ginger tea, settling my stomach
-slow-churn chocolate moose tracks ice cream; got me thru the 2nd long bout with the ants today (it wasn't me who left stuff out knowing we were having problems....)0

    Yikes! Between the tick and the ants . . . I'd be buggy, too. Sounds weird, but spray Windex by that area where the ants are. Seems to dampen the pheromone they need to 'follow' one another's trail. Good luck.

    Bugs are really bugging you. I hope you enjoyed the walk in the woods with the exception of the tick. Looking forward to tomorrow's blog.

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering. I go in and shop, sometimes taking advantage of senior hours, sometimes doesn't work out w/schedules. Also, 4 times so far, my sister, who's an essential IT nursing home worker, and out and about for herself anyway would get us stuff, but she's very into meat and not great at veg. {Okay...here's the bi*ching & whining}: I have no one else to tell, except my one sister (not the IT one, the ww one) and have already said after this is over I am leaving or not doing it anymore: I'm very picky*/specific about veg as is mom about random stuff, and she's 80; I currently live with her (and dad, 85), and still get shouted at because nothing's ever perfect—but the whole fam knows that an

Solstice Blessings

  Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed is he who repeats it. - Arabian proverb This is an issue for me today, and everyday, as I am working towards managing anger better. I sincerely believe that "Spreading goodwill can return to you"...basically moods are catching. Living with mom can be a trial...she is often playing the martyr. SPARK says: "This quote can be read in a few ways, and all of them are worth thinking about. First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
