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.

The plants sound lovely! Especially the beautiful salad. I've never eaten rose petals. Are they good? Do they taste like they smell? I like Japanese pickles because I think they taste like perfume.

I will have to look for Japanese pickles!
