Good morning, friends.

Did you know that Florence Nightinggale was born in Firenze, Italy? I thought she had been born in England. I just learned that she was born on May, 12. She would have had her birthday today. Those are the trivia I hear on TV once in a while. I haven´t had breakfast yet but although the sun is shining, it is a chilliest sun ever. So I´ll wait a bit. I brought a cup of coffee I just finished and had my morning pills. Some of them are pain pills the doctor gives me for my arthrosis. There is no way of healing the ailment but pills can help out with pain. I am under several blankets to help out with the cold. The bed heater is not very good but I put it over the blankets meanwhile and will wait until Wednesday to have Anita make me a sort of winter bed. I know that I have some blankets upstairs. I´ll have to go and check them. I´ll do that on Wednesday. My tummy wants breakfast. See you later, friends

Yes, I knew she was born in Firenze, Grand Duchy of Tuscany at that time, as Italy did not yet exist. We walked again A LOT today, I am enjoying sitting down right now.

I have spent time in Firenze but had no idea she was born there.

I have been mostly in bed. The bed warmer was no good. My brother said that he´d come to pick it up and if he found another one, he´d bring it to me. Between you and me, he DOES have the money to go to the nearest supermarket and buy a new one (the best) to give to me. He is too old and too rich to give me what he should throw away. Anita, my maid, gives me more things than what my brother does.

I will try not to do grocery shopping until another week has gone by. I have a tendency to add luxury food.

Enjoy your breakfast when you're ready! It's important to take care of yourself, especially on a chilly morning like today.

That's funny, I thought she was born here in the USA. I had a waffle about an hour ago with butter and sliced bananas on it. I hope you have a great breakfast!

Some nice updates. Whatever pain gets relief is good. Do you have alternate therapies in Chile like Homeopathy? You could probably get a new heater on EMI if needed. Of course, you know the price dynamics and your budget better than me. Just a suggestion. I hope that you have a great day and some good food.

We have alternate therapies but this is free of cost. I´m thinking about getting a new heater butI can´t do it this month nor next month. I have some money issues these next 2 months.
