shadowkatSlept most of the day, and wrestled with dizzy headache brought on by shifts in weather, sinuses, and shifts in blood sugar. The weather couldn't make up its mind - it was clear and sunny, then cloudy and dreary, then sunny, then we had thunderstorms, now drizzling. No wonder I felt dizzy.
Watched television. Got groceries. Made root, chicken, and veggie soup with a rotessori chicken picked up from the grocery store. I'd tried to have canned gluten-free chicken noodle soup at lunch - but alas, the bottom of the can stated "best before 12/31/2021" (I'd bought it during the pandemic). Didn't want to risk it - so threw it out, which involved using a food catcher in the drain, and siphoning off the noodles, veggies, and chicken to put in the compost bin. (I miss garbage disposals). The grocery store was annoying, because people kept getting in my way - and at one point felt the need to line up down a food aisle, not the checkout aisle. It made it difficult to pick up water. Most of the people in line didn't speak English or not as their first or second language. And I felt dizzy and thought I might faint, and really wanted to get my stuff and leave. So I left the stupid line in the aisle and went to an empty cashier, which everyone in the aisle was ignoring. They were waiting like idiots to be called, and the cashiers didn't get the memo. Basically they were trying to treat Met Fresh like Trader Joes or Whole Foods, and it's neither.
I honestly think the dizziness was due mostly to sinus issues. It's not my blood pressure - that's 129/88 or 134/79. And I feel better after having my eyes water a bit, and nose run a bit. (I watched a sentimental film on Netflix.)
Still tired. But less so. I think last week wore me out. Oh well, I'll have a few days off here and there coming up, and several long weekends. That should help.
If you want to ignore holidays? Don't visit NYC. It's impossible. The city adores holidays. The apartment complex lobby is decorated for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
The movie I just watched was Carmello - it's on Netflix US, and a Spanish film about a stray dog who changes the life of a young aspiring chef who gets diagnosed with brain cancer. The principle love story is between the dog and the chef. I found it touching. (It's not sad and has a happy ending.) Spanish Hallmark.
Question a Day Meme - November
12. Are there any natural red heads in your family?
Yes. My brother's hair was red like a copper penny when he was a kid, as was my niece. My hair is reddish brown. And my Aunt K's hair was red when she was younger.
13. Have you ever played card games? Do you have a favourite?
Yes, but I have no memory for the rules. No favorite.
14. It’s National American Teddy Bear Day! Do you have any teddy bears?
Not really at the moment. I used to. Got rid of them. I do have a small beany bear somewhere.
15. Do you give names to inanimate objects such as your car, your computer or other items?
Not really. I'm not into naming things. I did name the robot vacuums Spike and Buffy but I keep forgetting that I actually named them.
