Today is Small Business Saturday. Try and visit local small businesses to do some holiday shopping.
Today I will start working on Christmas cards. I will send them out around December 1.
Over half of the people who get COVID still have symptoms after 3 years.
1.3 million chickens had to be culled after bird flu was found in a Union County egg farm in Ohio. Human cases remain rare with only 1 person contracting the HSN1 virus.
The world's largest iceberg (1,500 square miles - 3x the size of New York City) has broken off and is drifting past the northern tip of Antarctic Peninsula via the wind and currents. Depending on which route it takes, it could become grounded at South Georgia Island and block breeding and foraging grounds for seals, penguins and sea birds...or it could make its way up to South Africa and disrupt shipping. Another possibility is that it could break into chunks.
115 days until spring.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - Lentil soup
Dessert/Snack - Triple chocolate muffin and decaf coffee
Dinner - Turkey sandwich...YUM!
What did you eat yesterday?

Yes, it certainly could; and if all the ice melts at both poles, we are in big trouble.

@LindaOHio Despite she was fully vaccinate, she got the virus badly.

@LadyDuck That's a shame. Usually if you are vaccinated you have a milder reaction. Maybe it was a different strain.

I saw on SM that this could cause problems around the Panama Canal for shipping but hadn't seen it from the iceberg standpoint.

@LindaOHio I have read that coffee, cocoa and oils are going up.
I need to buy some peanut butter still, I have not got any extra of that in the pantry.
It would make for a really well-read post, I hope that you can do one up.
Anna and I were chatting about it last week.

@Juliaacv Thanks. Is peanut butter going up too? I'll have to grab a jar of decaf instant.

Does going to Urgent Care count for visiting a small business. I also went to Dollar Tree. I know it is a chain, but I can get what I want easily.

So sorry about the visit to Urgent Care. It was for Bob, right? Is he doing OK?

Turkey...yum! Yes, if all the ice melts, those at a low sea level will be in danger.

Yup. It will cause the oceans to rise; and places like the Keys and New Orleans will be history.

@LindaOHio I had a friend introduce me to lentil soup many years ago. My children were little. Now, I make it homemade at least once a year.

I went to Chuy’s, which is behind a mall. Aren’t I the brave one??? For dinner I had more peaches and leftovers!! Oh, and a Peppermint Patty. I got some out of the “sales bin” candy aisle, and I have one on Friday night and one on Saturday after lunch….two points for the weekly treat!!!
