Banana bread achieved!

samhainnight, 10 days ago to random

I used the last of my energy today to make a loaf of banana bread. It's a warm day so I have the windows and front door open. But it seems I should have used my energy to put up the bug screen to keep the mosquitoes out instead...

So the smoke that I drove through in the forest on the way home was a prescribed, controlled burn. Thank goodness! I googled it as soon as I got home. I was pretty scared on the drive, though. 😮‍💨

Yearning—and I mean YEARNING—for an automotive palette like we had in the ‘70s. Actual colors were nice.

I just had the most mind-blowing conversation with a former colleague. Long story short, we're downsizing on our move and I'm trying not to send a whole bunch of perfectly good used furniture to the dump. I've contacted everywhere that I could theoretically donate it, and they're not taking any furniture. I've contacted every used furniture store, and they all say they're overstocked. One told us, "I'm going to sit here and take this exact phone call all day today." So I reached out to my contact list on my phone to see if anyone needed anything for free.

One person, whom I guess I haven't talked to much lately, ends up saying they could use something and I tell him we'll leave it in the driveway for him next week. The conversation ends up with me saying that we're avoiding as much indoor, face to face meetings as we can during this move.

He says, and I quote from the text, "You don't really believe in COVID, do you?"

I reply, "Yeah, the science is pretty straightforward."

He says, "Scientists are just conspiracy theorists."

I say, "You're a scientist. I know this because I hired you and you have a degree in biochemistry."

He says, "That was before I got my MBA and realized how the world really works. Science isn't real."

Actor Nathan Fillion from Firefly stumped and unable to reply.

The other day at drop off I called out SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR!

This precious peapod hollered back at the top of their lungs:

I LOVE YOU CROCODILE!!!!

This summer, watch out for the unassuming grass seed pod known as a foxtail. Its segment's stickiness can burrow into the skin, eyes, and ears of pets, be inhaled into the nose or even make its way into the lungs.

Symptoms to look out for:
🌱 Frequent shaking of your pet's head
🌱 Drainage or discharge from the eye
🌱 Sneezing or pawing at the nose
🌱 Coughing or hacking
Learn more from a vet:

I've actually driven by this house a bunch of times so it was really fun to clean it and see what it looked like inside!

Two things today:

1. A coworker is out with Covid. I worked with her last week while she was sneezing & had a runny nose. But I had my N95 on, & was also airing the house out so I did not get sick.
   (Always air out your vacation rental for at least an hour, folks)
