More trivia as we proceed
I’d put in a call to the VA back in my ‘home’ state, because one of my medications (metoprolol) had run out; I got a call back explaining that it had been canceled because I was already on one beta blocker (carvedilol) and it wasn’t advised to have two at the same time.
Okay. If I’m not supposed to have the both, it’s better that the first one ran out. It makes me wonder two things, though. 1) Why was I prescribed two in the first place? 2) Is it possible that the two, together, might have something to do with the palpitations that disturbed me a month ago?

We’re still looking at moving over to Tombstone after this week, but all the weather forecasts show lower overnight temperatures there than here. Still better than we’d be looking at if we hadn’t headed west back in November, but I’d rather we were in some place where the temp doesn’t ever get down to freezing.
Finally, I put a pan on the gas burner tonight, and didn’t notice that a potholder had stuck to the bottom till the potholder caught fire. I didn’t react quickly or well, though I might have done better if the danger had been more dire; as it was, I moved things around till I could pour a bit of water on it to put it out, and that was that. Susan was calling for the fire extinguisher during this process, and I judged (correctly) that it wasn’t necessary to go that far, but overall her instincts were better than mine.
So, another day in paradise.
