5 things:
1. I need to go get help on making sure I'll have prescription drug coverage for 2015, else i'll
be hunnerts of dollars out of pocket, as they love to say. Wish me luck. My shredder is getting
dull from all the junk mail. But some of it may be worth saving. I am bringing the latest stack
with me.
2. The weatherbug yesterday suggested it would be a mild day--barely enough wind to rattle the leaves, a little bit of rain now & then, and temps in the 50s-60sF. Ha. So I went out without a jacket,
got caught in the little bit of rain and LOTS OF WIND, and no sunshine to speak of. Jaysus! Today we are wearing our jacket and rolling up a sweater for backup in our bag.
3. Milk, apparently, is good for one's complexion (taken internally), though I had a classmate from
Greece years ago, who taught me that mixing a spoonful or two of fresh squeezed orange juice with the same amount of cream made a great exfoliating face treatment. You mixed the two together, then dipped your fingers in it and applied to your face bit by bit. What you did was rub your skin till the juice & cream had been absorbed. This sloughed off any dry layer, and when you were all done, your face was bright and shiny. She also told me that at home, her mother brought her a cup of coffee and two squares of chocolate every morning when she came to wake her up.
4. Nobody ever came around to wake us up in the morning at home, although my dad used to
bring a fly swatter and a glass of water to wake up my brothers. My mother just yoohooed up the stairs for me, and I was expected to show up dressed and ready for school in a few minutes.
5. It was not all that harsh, though. My mother then paid me to eat my oatmeal.
1. My insurance pays less than $1/month, combined, on my two prescriptions. I take cheap stuff!
ReplyDelete4. Rudest awakening I ever got was when my then-fiancé came by on his way to school and got me up by emptying the contents of the water jug in the refrigerator over my head. Obviously, I should have locked my door!

Yes< you should have locked your door!! We expect more from u, CC
DeleteAwww...XE...I came from a place where no one locked their doors! (Skelton-key locks weren't all that hard to jimmy, anyway!)
ReplyDeleteThe only time a locked door should have helped was the one time I had something stolen from me. They broke the lock of my car and bungled trying to jimmy the lock on the steering column of my car so badly that the lock had to be replaced before the car would start. Unfortunately, they stole my $800 binoculars. Locked doors are more an inconvenience to the owner than to the potential thief in my experience. CC
ah, skeleton keys....haven't seen or used one in many years!
