Good morning!!!!

Do the black raspberries taste as tart as red raspberries? Anyway, I'll be over there in a bit, so save me a bite.

Black raspberries are not as tart imo.

The seeds were still in the berries.

a mug of rooibos tea is steeping, then back to my book.
David, glad storm is missing you, my step SIL on Oahu is boarding up her house now
Chris, I think I'm going to use the not absolutely medically necessary (coronavirus risk) rational to avoid getting an
implantable heart monitor. Particularly when I have zero symptoms and first monitor showed nothing the matter.

But I sure would like to get a haircut, almost three months now. Hair is so thin now contemplating cutting the top off anyway, not much more than a wispy combover now anyway. Chemo sure messes up your hair...

Talking about doctors. I have had 2 calls and 3 letters from different doctor's offices telling me to schedule various routine visits and tests. Problem is that this disease is still going around. I'm sure that they are wiping down the door handles etc. but this junk is airborne. Of course doctors are businesses. They have pay rolls and rent and insurance and all the same personal expenses that everyone has. That doesn't mean I want to be exposed to an infectious disease. I don't even like to go in during flu season. Just hoping I can make it past this junk.

You might want to reconsider. I've seen several posts lately about people postponing examinations and procedures that died because because the underlying problem remained untreated.

I figure if I can't rely on medical people to adequately sanitize their place of business, there's no point in going anywhere because nothing's going to be as clean and sanitary. So far, so good.

Ron, did you say girl friend? Have I missed something?

Yes you did. One of my neighbors thought I had a girlfriend after seeing my 91 year old Aunt visit me many times.
No Girlfriend. Just a very sweet Aunt.

LOL Yes, that I remember. Thought maybe I had missed something more.

Drew,
Likely just another couple hours for us, but Oahu and others still in direct path


Have you considered external monitoring of your AFIb? I check mine on my Apple Watch every morning.
I got mine quite inexpensively via this study The HEARTLINE Study: Research study to improve AFib outcomes
Sophie got picked for the non watch group so didn’t enroll.

Chris, I would have to agree with RNG. Likely the Dr ofc risk is minimal, especially compared to the alternative of missing some critical care. That said, we have experienced, 2 eye dr offices, a hospital, health clinic, and dentist last couple of months. Procedures differed with each, but felt safe in them all.

Yeah I'm thinking about it. Some of this stuff really is routine. The stuff that I would have to go to the hospital to do is the stuff I worry about. That place is usually a mad house.

The question on my mind is how do you sanitize air?

I worry about the people who aren't worried about the disease. We have talked to friends who go to the grocery store. They say there are still a lot of people who don't wear masks.

Another 2 loads picked up, probably just one more to go but taking a break until later when it is cooler. Currently 91F and a lot less cloud cover than earlier. It’s hot.

The Woman is fixing macaroni salad, going to have hot dogs on the grill.

Will fill sprayer to clean one of the smaller pieces of siding so she can get a look at the stain when it’s dry.

Might sand some tools handles and treat with BLO.

[QUOTE=sodamo;

the first time they used an external monitor for two weeks and it showed absolutely no problems. It's defensive medicine since I've had a stroke.
But with zero history of heart issues, plus a successful first pass, I question why I need to do it again. Particularly after cardiologist said I looked good and didn't need to come back.

I'm going to ask cardiologist (again) for an opinion.

95 degrees out, feels like 102
