I hope there is an easy answer when you put all of the medications on the table and discuss the situation. (I wish my GP had considered the statins when I described my lack of energy last winter - they should have been a red flag.)

The last of the coats and jackets are in the washer; this time the nice tan fitted raincoat (made in Poland - one I bought from I. Magnin in the late 1970s, and the style comes and goes in fashion -I couldn't fit in it for quite a while, but now I can), a couple of nylon rain slickers, a Gortex heavier rain jacket, and the new LL Bean parka. The only item left unlaundered in that closet is a down vest, but it hasn't been in there for long so I'm going to treat it as if any mouse traffic up and down garments happened before the vest took up residence. I can wash down items in the tub with a special soap, but it is a lot of work.

Burlap bags and a scooping tool in the back of the SUV; a trip later this afternoon will entail getting gas and a case of bottled water at Costco then heading over to the compost bunker to fill the bags with mulch that needs to go in the bed where I've been working.

I've been doing more sewing in the evenings. I don't have any finished new items to show for it, though have completed some mending projects.
