I have the beginning thoughts of putting my new Blackberry into a cheesecake mix. Also thinking of a yogurt or maybe some other. It will be nice to use a blackberry without worrying about sweetness.
I still need to sft all mine.

    Uuhn, I mean my work group in town is the only outpatient place for tests and they are saving them for people who look blue all over and like, stuff. It was not one of my WORK doctors who said I had COVID 19, but their specific "United my healthcare" teledocs who did. She said I should go and get tested and I explained I would have to go to the hospital and do it there and she was like "don't go unless you get sicker" because frankly if it's a random virus I don't want to catch something else like COVID (or vice versa) unless I have to, unless I'm about to die anyway. I did ask my work but they declined. I figured they wouldn't. Folks at my symptom level don't get tested anyway because it is truly not like it changes the treatment at all either way.

    I sincerely hope I *never* get tested but once I can get an antibody test I will. You know, once it's no longer remotely relevant.

    I lived through the night. Was sleeping pretty well but my mom woke me at 9 to find out how I was doing. I should have remembered to turn my ringer off. She was like "how are you?" I was like "asleep mostly but it's okay Mom I'm not dead yet and I'm sure the husband would be the first to call."

    Then I got some coffee and the husband came in bellowing, with his speaker turned up to 11 about "I'm not DEAD yet I don't want to get on the cot."

    I was like, "Killer reference to Monty Python there honey, and no I don't have the plague but my head hurts could you turn it down a notch."

    Ugh I'm okay I guess. I am doing NOTHING today, not interacting with my work, NADA. I am going to figure out how to turn my work email notifications OFF.

    Anyway, yeah, I'm kinda the same, no better no worse. Tylenol seems to be keeping my fever down to around 99.5. Partially I wonder if like, I should stop taking it and let my body heat up and deal with this thing with all its might. Still coughing.

    vape: hate the French inhale but that's what I'm doing. I'm not inhaling vapor. I think I can tell so meh. If I get much sicker I will switch to snus completely but part of me is like '"oooh I have plenty of time to do that at the hospital."

    But not worse is way good! It beats worse by a million percent. I'm not super happy but I'm eh, all things pass.

    Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I've been quarantined in like that insane environment called work of mine for so long I forget people care at all. All my family are calling and stuff and well it's nice I have not had much time to talk to them recently. Sometimes I wish I had the consumption or something back in the days because the husband is super nice when I am sick and he would have to be until the ending of my days. Also back then from what I can gather smoking was RECOMMENDED to "fortify the lungs." That was truly the heyday of medicine like, patent medicines and keeping your water clean by adding ETOH to it and leeches and stuff.

    Haha! Um yes BUT I was referring to my blackberries. One in the trinity is not to my liking. And I really want blackberry...
    I don't do trinities cause I like to change up my flavors too much.

    Ah, I remember now. You are trying to find the blackberry you don't like.

    I try the trinities and if I like them then I mix a bottle and put it in my case. I make sure I still have the individual flavors available if I don't want to use a trinity.
    Something like that might work. What are the trinities you like?

    We just finished getting the "swamp cooler" ready for the season (but we also have AC too)
    Dang it... did a great job, tested the pump (it's fine), primed the pads and went to give it a test run... the old motor is shot! Going to spend $100 for a new motor to get us through this year... next year replacing the whole unit... it's very old.

    I'm almost 60 and have them too.
    Mom and I went to take food to the homeless (she clear out leftovers and does this every couple weeks) She left the gas stove on low... the flame went out and the house was full of gas when we returned an hour later :shock:
    It could have been worse... :evil:

    I used to use augvape intake rtas all the time and really liked them. I hadn’t used one in a while and got one out the other day. I tried two different builds in it and both were giving dry hits
    Have you tried Rayon? Also, as a last resort, try doing "primer puffs" first (maybe even cover the air intake) Did you prime the wick at all (I do this even with RTAs)

    Added 1 drop of cocoa to about 15ml, now a 7/10
    I always end up adding some (FA) cocoa to my chocolates (I like dark chocolate and cocoa adds plain cocoa powder with out any sweetness or off notes) It is very strong... doesn't take much.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    I've been adding to my cart at BCF. It's so big now I think I need to split it into two or three orders.
    The rabbit hole has me hook, line and sinker! To divide it up, I need to go over all of the recipes I want to make and divide it so each order will allow me to make two or three new recipes including your 3B Cheesecake. One of the other ones I want to try is by ID10-T and it's gingerbread, apricot, graham cracker, peach and tangerine. It's a weird combo, but one of my favorite desserts is gingersnap cookies spread with mascarpone cream cheese and apricot preserves. Not sure how that would translate into a vape, but after I try this juice I think I'll have a better idea.

    I usually add a smidge of cocoa to my chocolate mixes, about 1 drop per 15 mls. This time I tried it without just to see, the cocoa made it better for my taste.

    LOL you and my 1st Mommy agree @FranC but the only tests in town are at my work and they are the only game in town. I asked HR Insane Demons Containment factor of 12 if I could get tested after THEIR freaking HOLY TELEMEDICINE DOCTOR said I should, too, only like she was like, "We have no need to do that or change anything about your application currently so let us know if you get hospitalized and MAYBE then we'd consider it. I was like, "F you lady the hospital morgue can do it so you can't fake the results." Only I did not actually say that nor one of a jillion emails I wrote but did not send trying to explain a) they have not answered my ONE most important question, which is like "WHEN IS THE DEADLINE I CANNOT READ ANY OF THIS TEENY TINY PRINT AND I HAVE A HEADACHE." And also "Yes I am CERTAIN I HATE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELS ON THE PLANET too ,but I would not ignore or even gloat over your misfortune, you are disgusting. I spent hours rewriting the same email all equally unsendable and just called and recorded it mainly to keep ME in check. I was like "I just need a deadline I don't know how long I will be sick plus when I can talk to my doc." She kept repeating "as soon as possible" like 15 times in a row without answering, I started giving her hypotheticals and then was just like okay look I'm sure someone will be in touch if I am incapacitated or dead, so I will just get it in when I can and if I can't well the chips will fall and if needed the tall trees. She was like what? I was like oh I meant my family members. They are shockingly well connected and rich compared to you lot ,in fact I am sure my mom could provide the prudent reserve you lot never bothered to assemble ten times over. But whatever I guess."

    So, Mother of Prepared for any catastrophe (she should manage the end times I am convinced) was like, "You need to be careful, really, I mean with your history well people get really oxygen deprived and don't even know it and I was like "COOL swollen toes walking dizinesss" But I did not make her want to feel worse and like so I was like, "I'm fairly sure the husband can check on me now and again, you know, perhaps it's time to like cut the mattress labels off so they can engage in their felonious nature, etc." (Every now and then isn't like enough really.)

    Only then the Mother of Last Presumptive Force on Earth was like "I have pulse ox ometer you can put on and attach to a computer and if your O2 sats drop low enough it will shriek at least the husband awake."

    I did not even ask but the kid is messengering it to like the o/n delivery postage service etc. So yeah I should feel better about not dying in my sleep although that has always been a dream of mine perhaps it is too soon.

    Also she was like "You can't go to Phoenix! What if you get on those long stretches of nothing and your o2 sats Plummet" and I was like, "Well obviously I would try to call you and pant, "You were right " I mean I know you LOVE that." But I agreed to not even go to the freaking HALFWAY crap like, hospital in Bisbee but instead, visit the Douglas Hospital which I sometimes think is the name of a restaurant ironically named but holy crud, I agreed, I was like, "Que mama? okay si si," because I was too exhausted to argue.

    I want to smoke a cigarette very badly but I haven't yet. You know this feels JUST what I remember the flu being like when I was young and healthy and like don't bother with the flu shot and you are 100% sure you are gonna die, but 95% of the time you don't? Well, it kind of feels like that.

    I haven't smoked yet I don't plan to. Maybe some dope if thigs get dire but I feel that would be hard, too I mean INHALING it. It's been forever.

    Anna

    Tonight I an sleeping on the couch but I am staying awake as long as I can so I don't pass out too early and I can take my meds as late as I CAN.

    I eagerly await like the two Tylenol, the anti coughing spasmodic and most of all my inhaler because it hurts less when I use it. It's gonna be fine I am fairly sure.
    I am planning on sleeping lale tomorrow if I can so no one worry.

    Anna

    Oy. Night all later tomorrow. Etc.

    Anna

    I am so sorry Anna for all you are going through. It's too much and you deserve a break now!! Would you consider asking your husband to go with you to your office and be tested so you would have some moral support when you go? I know you don't want to infect him, but you and he could keep the visit really short and take all the precautions. You should have moral support now!
