Good morning

I am trying to get back in some good habits, like packing my lunch before I go to bed. It certainly has freed my morning up.
This morning it is pretty cold. I probably should have gotten the last of my plants in. I did not do it. One plant I have not dealt with is my pineapple sage. It has recently started blooming. I wanted to leave those blossoms available for the last of the birds and butterflies that might need food.
Big deal for me is a check up with the doctor. I honestly think I have a sinus infection or some such, so we will address that while I am there.
Nothing too exciting this morning. I do have a bill or two to pay.
Perhaps something fun will happen today and give me an interesting topic.

@GardenGerty I am buying a few things as they are still available, I have heard of possible shortage.

I have no infections but the doctor wants me to double all of my sinus and allergy meds for a while to prevent one.

@GardenGerty Allergies are so bad and I try to stay away from the medication as I have some medical issues that keep me away from most of them. The best thing for me is to stay inside with the air conditioning on.

Currently 16°C/60°F, hoping it'll warm up a few more degrees but it's high overcast out there, threatening rain. I'll need a machette to cut the grass pretty soon. It just keeps growing and raining and growing some more.

I did not get mine cut and we have had rain off and on all weekend. Maybe I need a combine.

Well I do not have an infection, but will double the medicine for the symptoms for now per doctor's orders.

It is not getting as cold as they have been predicting.

@ramapo17 I never lived in Florida, but did in San Diego, and it was much the same.

Sometimes just talking to the doctor helps, and getting advice. I do not have an infection.

I'm certain that the birds and butterflies are quite happy with your decision. 
Hopefully, the doctor gets things sorted.

No ear or sinus infection at this time. Yes, I still see butterflies now and again. It is not getting as cold as they predict.

@GardenGerty Yes, the cold temperatures are slow in coming this year. I'd thought we were over the air conditioning temperatures when the husband declared himself "freezing"; however, I've since switched back to air conditioning. It's not set all that low, but it does run some; the apartment gets extremely stuffy in here.

@wilsongoddard I am usually cold but I would rather put a long sleeve shirt on or light jacket than be sweaty.

@Nawsheen Nasal saline rinses on a regular basis are helpful.

I am sorry you must walk everywhere, but you know, it could be good for you, I guess. Hope your appointment went well.

It was chilly when I woke up at 5:30 am. (41F) And my fishies didn't want to get up half an hour early. Pretty told me I was being mean making them get up early for no reason. 
(If the guppies don't wake up and eat when I put the food in there the corys will eat it and the guppies won't get to eat until I get them ready to go to bed tonight. *shrug* They know that by now.)

@Nawsheen At least I give them food. It's not my fault if they want to be lazy and not get up and eat.

There is always something to keep me occupied, or entertained.

I packed my lunch before bed too, most the time besides my cold stuff.

Even just having the cold stuff all in one place in the refrigerator helps.

It is not getting as cold as they keep saying it will. So I have these pretty red blooms for a while yet.
