Supplement?

Got up at 0530 to turn on water in front yard, from the west side for the lilac and forsythia, and from the east side for the flowers and arborvitae out front. Hope that will be enough watering there for the week. I wake up at first light and it seems to come earlier every day. First thing after washing my eyes, and other ablutions, I had a pink grapefruit. As usual I fixed my oatmeal, bran, cinnamon, and raisins, devoured with milk and then was off to the grocery store for fruit and vegetables and vitamin E.

Another cold sore is popping out on my upper lip. I was really discouraged when Google sources said they often came in response to ultraviolet sun rays. I have been infatuated with the sun all my life and with rare appearances of cold sores I never once made any such association. Stress was also accountable for the problem and so far I haven’t been able to put a bridle on that. Nancy suggested I eat more carrots and I bought a bunch as well as broccoli, not to stop stress but to give me more vitamins and consequently, more zip.

I looked carefully at country of origin which Mike reminded me was marked on fruit and vegetables so I ate an Argentinian pear. I scrubbed the surface of my USA carrots and cut out the seeds of my Mexican green pepper. Too full to eat any of them just now. I called in sick so I can lay around in the 80-plus degree sunshine another day. Maybe after a nap I can accomplish at least one task to cluck over for today.
