It's a Busy "Day Off" Today

It's a busy "day off" today. I have an appointment for my car - long overdue - for a six-month checkup, possible oil change, etc. Standard stuff and shouldn't take long, but I have a bunch of stuff to do today in addition, so the sooner I can get out of the car dealership, the better. Still, they've always done well by me, and if I absolutely needed it, they'd lend me a car at no charge. I'm not that desperate on time today, though. 

I'm very accustomed to my "Ogre Juice" for my lunches. 
I use the basic recipe from years ago - whatever green 
veggies look good and a variety of other veggies, blended 
with spices and honey (essential ingredient for me). I rely 
on these for my lunches at the shop and for my general health. 

I do need to get to the grocery store - I need veggies for my next batch of "Ogre Juice", and I need a bit of this and a bit of that. But again, if I don't get there, no problem. I can pick up essentials on my way to work tomorrow and keep them in the store's ancient refrigerator for the day before bringing them home with me after the shop closes. In other words ... I'm flexible. 

I don't have the link to this humorous presentation, but if 
you look up the title and Pete Silvia, I'm sure you'll find 
it without any problem. It's a good one. 

Taking a quick look at my upcoming schedule, I don't have another doctor appointment until I appear for labs on June 27th and then get my Prolia injection in July. It's just as well my calendar is open because Chickie and Chickie Mama are heading to Montana for a family reunion (something that occurs every year or two). She'll be gone from the 9th through the 17th of June and I'll have to work every day while she's out of town. ICK! That DOES put a cramp into my schedule. But Chickie is entitled to her vacation time, and just because I don't get any ... she certainly chipped in and worked a lot of extra time while I was dealing with my cancer earlier this year. 

I know that several of my friends around the world have 
similar issues with wildlife and their gardens. I don't plant 
the garden - that's DH's territory - but he gets VERY 
frustrated when the deer eat his flowers. We lost a dahlia 
yesterday and he grumped about it all day. 

So, I'm ready to get moving on this lovely day in the Great State of Minnesota. The grass is green, the sun is shining, the animals are all happily munching from garden to garden and the people planting those gardens are grumbling about their eaten plants - LOL. It's a normal summer in the Great North. I hope you have an excellent Friday and I'll be back tomorrow to wrap up the week. Slava Ukraini.
