Happy things!
I have four lovely plants from a fancy nursery that i was able to pick out myself:
* a thornless Opuntia, the type cactus that provides nopales and prickly pears
* an ostrich fern, which is a reliably considered edible fern (I have Southern Lady Fern growing wild which is also considered edible in some articles. Maybe i'll try them after trying ostrich fern.)
* a swamp milkweed (because why not)
* and an Indian Pink selection, which is a red and yellow native flower that should agreeably mix in with the eastern columbines.
I have a CPAP ordered, and they accepted a prescription written on their competitor's form.
Lunch was a salad with lettuce, spinach, lemon balm, and arugla from the garden, rose petals from the incredibly scented rose, plus strawberries, pecans, and asiago cheese.
It's a gorgeous day, i should go walk.
Not so happy:
* sister canceled our visit at her arrival time. I dunno if she's being yanked around by contractors and doesn't know until the hour before (as she knows i'm not really available in the hour before). I am tired of the short notice cancellations.
* The nurse finally got c---.com's prescription form signed by the doctor and sent to c---.com. I called and it turned out c---.com DOES NOT HAVE A NORTH CAROLINA LICENSE. Which means no CPAP for me from them.
* I called my insurer for recommendations of where to get a CPAP. She asked for an email address i gave her one of many, it turns out instead of any messaging within the insurer's website they use "Optum Messenger". I have a different email with "Optum Messenger". I got caught in a snarl of account security messages, some of which would NOT arrive, some which would, and when i finally get in, no message. SO i try making a new account with the email i gave the insurer rep, that goes south, sideways, and to Helena Handbasket. I gave up because Christine had found a vendor she thought would be good.
* I will have to take at least an hour off work today because of the CPAP nightmare.
