Ugh A Cold!
What was a tickle in my throat just three days ago is a nasty upper respiratory infection. It’s also known as the crud. So no shopping on Friday for me, just a nice lazy two and a half hour visit to the local “doc in a box”.
Atleast I was in the company of others…all having encountered the crud at some time or another this week. So..having parted with $15 and bearing my rear..I was gifted with “hope you get better soon..it’s just the crud” and left with two additional prescriptions. Total for the day…$25.
I’m feeling a little better today, but I still have a couple of coughing fits, but at least my head feels like it’s clearing….or at least until I lay down.
Well.. that’s all for now. If the meds don’t work I think I’ll go the homeopathic route and try some Kali muriaticum. I picked it up later today at the store..something must be to it, right?
Ok..time for me to get some sleep. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to sleep before 3am..last night was aweful. Weird dreams too.
Busy in San Antonio, TX
Busy busy week. Who knew that being TDY for work could include a little fun. Only thing I wasn’t prepared for was all the shopping possibilities. Maybe I need to take a little time to check out the local shops…I even found a Life is Good shop just a few blocks away. Might be a good time to add to my collection of comfy shirts.
Strawberry Pot Make Over
On our front porch sits two empty strawberry pots. We rarely use the front door so if anything is planted in those two pots they are usually forgotten and rarely gets watered. What to do…
Earlier today we stopped in by Southern Homes and Gardens to do a little window shopping. 
While walking around I spotted a strawberry pot with succulents in it instead of strawberries or herbs. Now I have an idea! I picked up a few hen’s and chicks and a couple of other succulents to bring home. On the patio out back I have a couple others in pots of their own…well they all have new homes now. Each little hole in the pot now has a new resident plant.
I believe these will survive longer than the strawberries. Now to pick up more next time I’m in town and finish up the second pot too. The only problem is that sometimes the dirt will slide out the openings, so I’ve placed some smooth stones around some of the smaller plants just to keep the dirt inside.
As a plus all of these plants tend to produce little baby plants and those can be moved from pot to pot. The question I have now is how hardy will these plants be over winter. Just as a precaution we’ll move them to the sun room once the danger of frost arrives.
Ok…time to move on to the next project.
