Bubblegum? Eew

I am still on my quest to use up travel size items that I started back in January.  Even more important now.  I didn't realize when I got this free sample from my dentist's office it was kids toothpaste.  Bubblegum flavor - yuck.  Oh well, I need to use it and will not waste it.

I've only finished 4 books this year.  Most of the time I read that in a few weeks.  I haven't felt like reading much lately but picked up Eleven Days last night and finally got back into reading.  The Peter May book is good, I've read the previous 2 in this series.  Just have to get back into it.  I read at least 2 books at a time, that way if there is a slow part I can switch.  I still have about 10 books in the closet to read so am good for reading material for a while.

I planted my pea, tomato and cucumber seeds on the 24th.  Yesterday I saw the first green sprouts - the pea plants have sprouted.  They are doing so well I now want to sprout the rest as had held back some to plant directly in the ground.  Later today we will pull up a little table from the crawlspace and I will position it in the living room under the window as a growing station as if I am going to plant more I need more room than the dining room table provides.  Today there is one tiny tomato plant that has just sprouted - woohoo!  Silly to get so much happiness when your seeds sprout but I will take my cheap thrills as I get them now.

I just walked over to see Mom - she only lives about 3 blocks away.  I took her a piece of salmon and she gave me an extra cucumber.  Buddy was so happy to see Grandma, he does love her.  She is sick of not going anywhere but is safe and sound and knows this is what it takes.  Since she can't have her cleaning lady in she is slowly doing those chores around the house. 

My tooth is acting up again.  It abscessed but I am now taking the prescription of antibiotics that I got from my regular Dr.  The Dentist is still shut except for absolute emergencies.  I am in no pain though so that is good and hopefully the antibiotics work.  Otherwise I will try the emergency line.

My stepson #3 who is a 3rd year commercial plumber has been exposed to Covid on his jobsite.  He was working directly along side an electrician who has tested positive but that guy was a subcontractor and has not been on his worksite for 11 days so likely my stepson is ok - we shall see in a couple of days.  A lot of their worksites are being shut down so every day he goes to work expecting to get laid off, a very weird feeling. 

Anyway, the sun is shining and we are healthy for another day so life is pretty good.  Stay safe everyone!
