Can you eat chocolate? Like, a really small Easter bunny? Or if not that, a little marshmallow peep?



It's a few things that I have discovered over the years. The lemon is connected to my seizure meds. They don't like certain fruit acids like citrus.

I love chocolate but I usually eat dark chocolate. Milk chocolate I find to sweet for my tastes. I usually buy myself a marshmallow treat that is covered in dark chocolate around easter. Peeps are too sweet for me. I buy just the one because marshmellow is made from egg whites and I am allergic to eggs. I eat too msny things made with eggs and my face breaks out and I start scratching my back and neck. Not nice.

I remember now, you mentioned earlier about acid foods and your seizure medication.

I hear you on the allergy part! I spent years itching all over, all day, every day, due to food allergies. But I didn't know what was causing my itching. When I finally got allergy-tested and found out what foods I was allergic to, and stopped eating those things, I was SO relieved to find that stopped the dratted infernal itching!

In any case, I hope you have a good Easter.

Yup, citrus, peaches, cherries. All off my menu.

I did on my own. You know the eliminate things from your diet route and figured it out. Saved myself a trip to a doctor's office.

You have a good one too.

Awwwww....

I think my heart just melted a little.

I looked out my front door a minute ago and saw something written on the walkway a few feet away from my steps. It took me a minute to figure out what it said, but in childlike handwriting in chalk it said...

"We Got This"

Out for a walk in a bit. Need to keep my left leg moving or I will be in trouble. Also need some coffee and a couple of other things.

Are people wearing masks?

Because if not, they probably don't.

RAIN!!! here.

A very late, very unusual April storm system is passing thru So Cal. I set out my "rain gage" last night to catch the bulk of the storm and it looks like a tad over one inch fell last night, with some presumed showers over the next four-five days. Weird, but appreciated. THANK YOU, Lady Rain!

I went to clean out the one downspout that looked like it had clogged up, but hubby insisted on doing it himself because... as he says ... since I manage all the legal, financial, and maintenance matters of the house he would be SOL if I fell off the ladder. So, just in time for the rain, and it works.

Dear daughter did an awesome job mowing the lawn (we have a very slick-running push mower with very sharp blades, and a very small back lawn) and I showed her how to use a string trimmer and she did a great job edging, too, so now the backyard looks at least somewhat credible.

Went out in between the raindrops for a very short stroll with the dog, and my trusty respirator. I only saw two other people out there, we kept our distance and just waved at each other, and two of three were wearing masks. Good for them!

SIG, great on the rain for your area.

Got a stretch of dry weather coming my way. Which will be nice.

I've only ever seen people with masks at the grocery store. I never see anybody outside of their houses wearing them.

I'm not worried about it. At all.

You're notworried about it? At all?

Then why are you so touched by vapid chalk-written optimism?

In our neighborhood, when we chat with each other from a safe distance of ten feet with masks on we part with "stay safe!" Much more proactive, don't you think?
