Thursday Ramble

Good morning.  It snowed a bit last night, but I am still going to take a stab at heading off to Weight Watchers.  I think  it will be okay. I don't have to head in the direction where the people don't shovel or lay salt...and then again, there may be nothing on the ground.  I can't see the sidewalks from my apartment. 

Yesterday everything went well  on my eye test yesterday.  No glaucoma.  The doctor sat me down and explained that I am what is called 'glaucoma suspect'.  This means that although I don't have it now, certain tests have indicated that I 'could' develop it in the future.  So, every four months he will give me a field test.  

Hubby also had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  He had to have some blood work done to see how this new medication is working.  It is so expensive that the insurance company wants frequent blood tests to see if it is working.  If not, they will not pay for it any longer.  Now we just have to sit and wait.

On the way home I stopped at the Chinese supermarket. I'm one block from Brooklyn's Chinatown and I use lots of their products.  Their colognes, at $10, are so light, fresh, and flowery and last longer than the more expensive name brands.  I also use their shampoo and conditioner.  Chinese have beautiful hair so one can't go wrong, and I find my hair does well with them.

 

Today was my first time in the supermarket, and I was totally fascinated.  Oh, I have been to the front of the store where they sell fruits.  They have the most delicious cherries for $2.99, and I have stopped before for them, but I've never gone through the entire store...which is huge.  Needless to say, I am in love.  I will be back there often.  Didn't have my much money nor my shopping cart today, but I did purchase a few items.  I am really anxious to try some of these sauces...and there are so much more....Korean, Japanese, Philippine, and Chinese.  Can't wait to try them all.

A package of Moon Cakes for only 99 cents.  A little late for the mid-Autumn festival, but in ancient times, in ancient times they were used as an offering to the moon. Emperors would pay homage to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn.  Imbolc is barely two weeks away I'll either use them then or during the next full moon.

 

This is a Chinese herbal lozenge that I use now for the throat.  I tend to get tickles, especially when I come into the warmth out of the cold, and these take them away without that harsh Halls taste.

 

Well, that's about it for today.  Time to go hop in the shower.  Have a good one.
