Don, Good for you! I spaced them out over a couple of weeks (the time I got both shots on the same day, one in each arm, I realized my mistake at bedtime when I couldn't roll onto either arm comfortably to go to sleep.)
Highs of 97o (36.1) forecast for the next 3 days, then a bit of cooling.
I've had one of those three-tier wire basket and chain things around forever that I always thought would be so handy in the kitchen but I don't actually have anyplace good to hang it. I came across it in a cupboard recently and for now I think I'll hang it in the greenhouse. Plenty of places to hang it out there. I remember being pleased when I found it, I think at an import store, and it's one of those items I can't use but am not ready to donate. (I wonder how it would hold up if I added three of those coconut fiber liners and put plants in it?)
I found a good sale online for a multi-pack of the best size of underwear after trying others in the last couple of months. I ordered it for in-store pickup because they gave me extra dollars off (versus walking into the store and buying at the register. Go figure.) I then found another bra in the right size and last night I did another deep dive into the dresser. Tossed all of the old Victoria's Secret undies that are too small (and have been at the back of the drawer for years—I'm never going to lose that much weight - that was an aberration at the time of depression and divorce). A nice but too small bra joined more too-big yoga pants in the donation bin. A couple of the shorts purchased at the time of this summer's surgery are also too big now. I'll split the difference, donate one and pack the other in the bin with a few pairs of that larger size. (I can wear the pants with a belt and they look ok with a shirt covering the waist.)
My Amazon order will arrive tomorrow so I've chipped enough of the pickle crisp loose in the jar to make some pickled okra this morning. It will be nice to simply dip the 1/8 teaspoon measure without having to juggle the little balls of calcium chloride and rounding them up on the counter. It doesn't take much but it improves the texture markedly. And here's a pickle pro-tip: if you use tap water in your pickle brine the chlorine will turn the garlic in the pickles "smurf blue." I have been using distilled water but it finally dawned on me that the purified water from Costco doesn't have any chlorine in it so I can tip a bottle of that in with the vinegar and save myself the trouble of finding a gallon bottle of distilled water. (Meanwhile for small amounts of distilled water I make my own for use in the steam iron to prevent lime buildup on the faceplate. I use the steam juicer with ice on the lid.)
