If you want something just lovely and relaxing to watch or play in the background, this Youtube channel is fabulous: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjNhkoz3yGwGuKU_G8x7UL_ViDD--7JRL She has a lovely calming voice and specifically aimed at making her channel soothing. She's an artist living in a tiny town up in Oregon, lots of fantastic scenery, calming music, changing seasons, bits of random arts & crafts, etc.

Walmart had Kerr and Ball regular mouth lids, just lids, but no wide mouth.

We're having a lot of people with respiratory crud - sore throats and headaches seem to be the main symptoms, some with fever, some without. It's to the point where I'm sending out a morning report to the staff with who's out each day. There's only 12 of us, and today 5 are out for various reasons. Some are sick themselves (one COVID, one getting tested but hoping it's just respiratory crud), some have kids getting sick (again, getting tested, but hoping it's just respiratory crud), 2 quarantining, and 1 claiming he's just tired, not sick. I think I'll keep taking my vitamin C and D and other supplements...

I started going down the rabbit hole of historical cookery and ended up here: https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/news/special-collections/recipes-from-world-war-i-(part-2)--wheatless Lots of wheatless (NOT all gluten-free) recipes, links to a few books, etc.

The white lids leak like crazy. I chunked all of them. I have the gray leak-proof lids for regular and wide mouth. Don't buy them on Amazon - $4.88 at Walmart, almost $15 for a 6-pack on Amazon last time I checked.

Fair warning, the first one I pulled out of the cupboard was cracked and has a huge chip in the rim. It is a distinct possibility that it was abused in the cleaning process by the teenagers, but, like any jar, keep an eye on them.

The big Classico jars at least fit the regular mouth leak-proof lids.

We like the Classico, but I've been buying the 3-pack of big jars at Sam's here lately. I'll check the lid next time we use a small jar.

A few more giggles for y’all…

This will be my third time seeing them live. They're a blast! Go to Youtube and search "Home Free Story Time with Tim". Bits of the concerts where Tim was telling stories.

We have tickets to see them next weekend.

If anyone wants KindleUnlimited, I'm seeing ads on Facebook for 3 months for $0.99, so now might be a good time to check.

All of the books I’ve clicked on are now telling me that they cost money, but are available with KindleUnlimited. Luckily, I have KindleUnlimited, and keep a wishlist going just for books I want to read on there!

@Pixie, Can I suggest a book? It's short, I promise. 104 pages. Gives some of the best descriptions of how ADHD affects you I've read anywhere. If you have Kindle Unlimited, it's free; if not, send me your email address and I'll see if I can loan it to you. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L9F4YM/

Planned to go to a market and get groceries today. Looked at my throat this morning because it was a bit cranky, and my tonsils are redder than usual. I do believe I’ll stay home and start hitting the Vitamin C and a few other things hard…

Very state dependent. Look for “____ cottage food laws”. Here’s Texas’: https://texascottagefoodlaw.com

I'll try to remember to look at the older editions this weekend. I have them on Kindle, because I like my books to go all over the place with me.

No digital formats at all, not even on Amazon. Their previous ones have all been available on Kindle.

https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-recover-protocol/ They also have protocols for prevention & early treatment and hospital treatment that are worth looking at.

Some practitioners who don’t believe the CDC are having luck reversing some of the side effects using the FLCCC’s protocol for long-haul COVID.

The real issue, I've been told, was that the graphite dust from the pencil leads accumulates in electrical equipment and can cause it to short.

Guess what popped up in Facebook memories today?

Went to Natural Grocers today. Very low on frozen veg, and their produce didn’t look great either. Got enough to do the stuff I wanted to do tomorrow. Tired of always feeling like I’m running out of grocery money. Picked up a non-citronella mosquito candle in hopes it’ll keep the buggers out of my office - they’re trying to eat me alive in there, and I’m no where near the door!

Somewhere, I have a cartoon about ripping weeds out instead of throats. 😝 I asked Mom once why she pulled weeds in the neighbors’ yard. She said that otherwise she’d be cleaning my room. I decided that was my sign to shut up.

By the way, I finished this book in 2 days. She goes into quite a bit of detail on even the system of cutting and maintaining trees for wood and construction in England prior to the transition to coal, and the actual differences in how you would cook, keep house, and wash up given different fuel sources.
