Another quiet week

We didn't go anywhere much this week on our days off. We made a grocery run, cleaned the volunteer digs a little, and yesterday made a trip part way up Steens Mt to look at wildflowers.

The bugs have abated a bit. However, this week, our new "insect shield" shirts have arrived. They are impregnated with permethrin and will last 70 washes per the instructions. So far, they seem to work, and no bugs have bitten me through the shirt. However, several have continued to bite me when I am not wearing it or they just bite me on the legs. We may buy some matching pants.

I also got some new bug lanterns yesterday. Two are wearable on your belt and one is for a table. My old one has completely stopped working so it will find a new home in the dumpster. AND I bought two more cans of bug repellent spray as it was on sale, and I certainly don't want to run out!

An update on my new continuous glucose meter. Guess what? All the things that I knew were bad for my blood sugar really ARE bad for me, and I am trying to alter my diet accordingly.Okumaya devam et
