Blather
I guess I can't shut up today, needed to just blather, even in a second entry. I made some caramel vanilla syrup, with caramel and water, and vanilla. It's partly artificial, the vanilla flavoring. Bleh. The pure real thing is kind of expensive. I started ordering from Walmart instead of Target, and wasn't used to all the choices, fell for the cheap stuff. Live and learn, I guess.
It's still pretty good. I do need to go pick up a few groceries, I'm out of coffee, eggs and bread, so I might walk over to the store and get those tomorrow. I made a large order for a lot of things, but need to transfer some $$$ to my grocery account. I never did online banking, wish I did that for several other things but did not have my own computer or a phone and didn't want to do it all at the library.
I'd earned a small gift certificate through my Target deliveries (necessitated by covid) and it took a month or two for it to transfer when it arrived in my email. So I thought oh, there's another problem. But somehow it went through finally.
I had actually been falling on my walks around, getting groceries, going to the library. Like 6 or 7 times in a year or so. I totally was in denial about it, just that it was so many times. It's a complicated explanation.
Anyway, most of the falls were harmless because somehow in the moment I adjusted my aim and went in the grass. But the final time, I instinctively put out my hand to break the fall, knowing it was not a good idea but it was a split second decision.
I tore my rotator cuff. That made me stop and think. I just couldn't risk it anymore. I STOPPED GOING OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS. other crap was going on and I think Covid long haul was part of the falling. Exhaustion was also to blame, part of the Long Haul symptoms.
Some of the symptoms went away, which is good. But also, it gave me time to just think, rest and pray. And remember some of my repressed memories, and realized some other things.
Anyway, whew, it's hot where I am. And humid. The only exception was a couple nights ago when it got cold enough that I put a comforter over me. The next day it went to 99 or higher, though low humidity. I slept through a lot of it, luckily. It's just been so hot that it's even uncomfortable in the wee hours, as right now. Good thing for fans.
