Thanks for the great masks but I still won't poop for you

[susandennis]

Like last year, I got the at home poop test kit from Humana. And once again, it went right into the trash. If I wanted to know what's in my colon, I'd get a proper colonoscopy. Quit wasting your money.

But... those masks they sent last week are great!

This morning I popped up, walked, got home, showered, dressed and went to Mercedes. A nice cool day with very little traffic. The dealership was not busy either and everyone was nicely masked and just generally nice. John, who has managed the service of my Smart Car for 9 years now, laughed out loud when he saw the mileage. "you don't do that good in a good year but you've topped yourself this time" 3,000 miles since my last services 13 months ago.

Usually, they have a guy to drive me home. This time he had reserved a car for me. But, the idea of being behind the wheel of someone else's fancy car when I didn't need to, didn't appeal. So I opted for driver who did not put his mask on until we were out of the lot. grrrr.

But, the ride was in a top of the line Mercedes and when he turned a corner, my seat hugged me!! At first I thought it was a broken seat but when it kept happening and would change sides depending on the direction of the turn, I realized it was the actual seat. I was sorry to get home. Pretty sexy action for a car seat!

I told John I didn't care when the car was ready. I'm guessing it will be early afternoon. Probably the same time my computer gets here.

I took my coffee with me as I would usually do on a quick, early morning errand. What I had not considered was the mask. So I took a full cup of coffee with me and brought a full cup of coffee home. So smart.

I need to make some more breakfast muffins today. And I've got a hankerin' for some cheese rice so I might whip up a batch of that.

If Twitter reports (from local journalists) are correct, the Seattle encampment is being broken down today. I sure hope it gets done peacefully and smoothly.

I'm never doing a colonoscopy again because of that stuff they make you take the night before that makes you throw up and have the runs all night. And the next morning.

I'm never doing a colonoscopy because I do not want to know the results.

The prep for a colonoscopy is unpleasant (although I've never had the throwing-up issue), that's for sure. I figure that colon cancer is considerably more so, though, so I'm willing to put up with the couple of days of unpleasantness every five years.

You probably never had the runs in the car of the person who was driving you to the doctor's office.

The coffee situation made me laugh. I wonder if the driver noticed you never took a drink.

How do you make cheese rice? A sauce, or shreds, or other?

[susandennis]

I've tried sauce and shreds and, honestly, I can go either way. Today was shreds. Made a pot of rice and dumped a bunch of shredded cheddar in it with a little red pepper, salt and black pepper. 1/2 cup of raw rice, 2 cups of shredded cheese. I'll bake it for about 30 minutes (with my meat for dinner) but I could probably nuke it for 4.

I finally stopped bringing a coffee to work. It just ends up sitting in my cup all day getting cold. I keep thinking I'll find a chance to sneak away into the back to take my mask off and have a few sips, but it never happens. My new thing is to have the baristas make me a few shots of espresso, and down them like whiskey. That way I can get my coffee buzz in a few quick gulps.
