LOL!
I just finished a letter and have two more to write. Meantime, I have to check on places that sell MREs, and though I don’t care for them, I need them for my 72-hour emergency kit.
Maybe today, if I don’t go into St George, I’ll work on the pantry. It’s a total mess.
I’d go with crackers and peanut butter.
I got some rancid peanut butter once, and that did it for me. I can’t get near the stuff, now.
In the research, I saw some bars that were supposed to be a full day’s requirements, but they only come in 5-day packages. I figure something out.
There’s no hurry, at the moment. ;o]
Welp, I won’t be going into St George, tomorrow. Low-grade fever, chills and extreme fatigue. The last weekend has finally caught up with me. *sigh*
Thank you.
Maybe you’ll feel much better tomorrow!
We had a lot of choir practice.
Beware the high salt content in MREs.
And avoid the cheese, the affect can go either way...
Civvy MREs are far safer for 72 hour use.
I have it on good authority that you should avoid the tuna at all costs..
Today is 34° with briskish wind. The Smudge presented herself at the back door less than a half hour ago and with great noisations announced that she wanted egress so I opened the door and she bounded out.
Moments ago I heard the back door cycle and a gray Smudge bounded into the room and hopped up on the back of the couch. This week that is her spot. Next week it will change.
It must have been too brisk. Although between now and March I'm sure we will have many much brisker days for her consternation..
Yes, Moosie, the high salt content is common with things that need a longer shelf life, which is one of the reasons I seldom eat canned foods.
I will check out the civvie MREs, though.
I hope I do feel better tomorrow, T-c, but the fever is in full swing, loss of appetite, tinnitus, dain brammage, balance, etc.
I was hoping to get to St George to visit my niece this AM, but by the time she answered me, it was on the doorstep of noon, and my symptoms are such that I don’t dare drive.
This morning, I started to watch a thing called “World War II in HD” and while the war film footage was accurate, the narration had become a touchy-feely apology for America’s service members during those war years. What a travesty that was as a documentary. In the second hour, I shut it off and watched DVDs.
I’m going to message my niece and see if they will be available around 0900 tomorrow, since she’ll be in Provo, tomorrow.
I avoid tuna at all costs, anyway. Perhaps I might make a casserole with solid white meat, but for the most part, I’d need a dessert of Alka-Fizzy.
Oh, yes. I called Charlie to wish him a happy birthday, and he’s mad at me for moving away. I think it just slipped out, but he’s thoroughly upset with me and was mad that I sent him a BD card and a $20 gift card with it.
Poor ol’ guy. Maybe he’s afraid he’ll die before he can see me again, though he knows the reason why I moved.
Off to bed, now.
Hope you have a good night!
That Floof is marked almost like an ocelot. Very pretty! Sunday best!
Good morning.
I think the migraine is back, having only been gone about three days, so that’s going to make the drive into St George all the worse. Unngh.
I realized this morning that some of the pain in my right knee may be because of my right ankle. so I’ll see if I can get the ankle brace on. It may make a big difference in my knee as both of them seem to be affected by the weather.
Drive extra carefully!
Kitteh wants to go out and enjoy the jungle. My catz just want to stay inside and beat one another up, along with various household articles. When I left the bedroom this morning, I found Jake on the stairs assaulting a bathing suit (left by Frank).
The smell of chlorine makes Jake aggressive. After you’ve been to the pool, he’ll jump on the back of the sofa and attack your hair.
Obviously, chlorine hurts Jake’s olfactory nerves. He may attacking because it hides your natural odor and he’s trying to get rid of the offending smell that masks the person.
My pug, Chun-Ki would bark at me when I put on sunglasses or a hat. Totally tossed him!
Good theory.
