11-07-21 bookended by snow
Awoke at a decent time due to the time change. There was a bit of snow on the ground so I decided once I had a relax and did a whack of indoor chores that I should get outside and finish putting away the Halloween decorations etc. It was windy and cold but I finished putting everything away, clipped the garden, added more dirt around my rose and talked the clippings away. Sadly the lights around my willow tree don’t work. I had left them wound around it since last winter and they had actually begun to be grown into the tree. They were so tight I think damage may have happened. I took them down and just plugged in the ones on the Maple which were fine. Once I was done I came in and started a puzzle and watched shows. My eyes kept watering and itching and I realized I am allergic to my neighbour’s cats. She leant me the puzzle and it is giving me a reaction. It is further proof that Missy is the cat for me as I have no reaction to her unless she scratches me by accident and I get a welt. I had a good long FaceTime with a friend while I made dinner. It was tasty. Huge servings though so there are a couple meals worth left for tomorrow. I tried purposefully to just tune out the obligations in my life today aside from household things. I had planned to go into the office but am glad I didn’t. I continued to do the puzzle. I forgot how peaceful and calming it is for me to do them. I glanced outside and saw that it had snowed again. I don’t think there is a forecast for much yet.
I did get the results of my colonoscopy and apparently everything looks fine, no sign of diverticulitis or cancer or anything else. I have follow up in a couple weeks and will ask what he thinks is causing the distress. I probably have to change something in my diet and drink more water. Good news, in any case.
One of my chores today was to dump three purses out and sort into one. There were 16 pens, $17, missing items and a bags worth of gum and mints.
I am so sad for the deaths at the music festival in Houston. 8 people between 14 & 27 crushed when a crowd surged. That is terrifying.
