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.

That is certainly a lovely idea about posting: we'll see if after the CPAP i "have more time."

I hope the CPAP helps you as much as it helped Jeff - he definitely felt a lot better when he was using it. I know he's lost a literal person in weight but I sort of wish he'd try it again because he's always complaining of being tired

and the plant idea? We'd even take one a week cause we're generous and caring like that LOL
anything you post plant wise would be awesome I think, you have a wealth of knowledge in your head to share that I know I personally would love to try to learn
