Daily Notes- June 11th



Well, things will be a bit strange going forward here.  The new Blogger is now in charge and consists of only little icons with no words.  I am just guessing.  I did manage to insert the picture and am now just typing.  Doesn't seem to allow for anything else.  Even though I would prefer the lines start on the left. The words are starting in the center.

Today is not really the best day to be finding this sort of Alice In Wonderland Nightmare.

I am not all that patient with new things.  It's cloudy and moist outside with a slight breeze. A very good- even excellent day to transplant things.  But there will be mosquitos.  Daughter has suggested the daily taking of Vitamin B1 to lessen my attractiveness to mosquitos.  It is working for her.  Took two weeks for maximum effect but she can now walk into a cloud of mosquitos and then fan out and away from her.

So I went into the local Organic Upscale Market.  Bins of $12 organic granola in about 10 different varieties.  This is where I buy miso.  The yogurt is too expensive.  I was gazing into the back wall freezers and seeing interesting meatless wonders.  I would have liked trying one of the burger selections- but this is always one of those philosophical problems for me.  If one doesn't want to eat meat why does one want to buy a burger?  Even one made of plants but looking like meat.

This Natural Market had lovely lovely strong healthy plants for sale outside.  Tomatoes that had very sturdy stems.  Cucumbers and squashes.  I wanted to buy some but didn't want to get out of line.  Only 8 shoppers inside at a time.  Masked.  And I was only going in for the B1 capsules.  Expensive. And I also got a Standard Baking Baguette.  So impossibly French and wonderful.

Now I have to decide which of the strange symbols is "publish".
I do recognize the one that is a question mark.  And I used the one that looks like a camera to insert the picture... which was purely accidental.  There is a symbol that looks like an eye.  The last one is an arrow facing right.  In the center is a tiny symbol of a smiling face.  What the hell is that? the number to a suicide hotline????  So okay.  You may never get to read this post as it might just disappear when I select the first wrong icon.  But it was nice knowing you!  Take care.

  1. I'm not thrilled with the new Blogger for Dummies, either. I don't know for how much longer, but if you look at the column on the left, all the way at the bottom is a pale little line of type that says "Revert to legacy Blogger" to take you back to your comfort zone.

    You have me reaching for the bottle of (detested) vitamins.

  2. it’s nice knowing you as well, dear Joanne! glad you found the right button,
    “ ... symbol of a smiling face.  What the hell is that? the number to a suicide hotline????” this one hit my funny bone to tears! you paint the picture clearly for me, and turn frustration into laugh-out-loud funny. yup that whole thing of (ridiculous unnecessary) change; why isn’t good enough, good enough?
    Remember: Change Is Good! but-boy-oh-boy! why-oh-why?

    hope Debs suggestion makes life more pleasant for you.
