Here’s hoping this year will be so much better than last one. At least the last month of last one. I really want to get back in my kitchen and cook something. I know I can’t smell anything, but still I can remember the smells of the things I usually cook, and really miss that pot of beans and the Mexican cornbread that always go with it. Mmmm, what more can a person ask for than beans and cornbread on a cold, winter day?
I have a new award, sorta. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here it is. 
I haven’t decided which one to put in my gallery yet, but I think it will be the one with the picture of the presenter, Don Charisma. Of course, the other one shows up better, but I’ll decide before my next post. Don is really a great guy, currently living in Thailand, who is now doing great things with stitching photos together to make up really large, breathtaking scenery. He’s funny, intelligent, and altogether a great guy who created my angel logo for me. My knight in mostly shining armor. You really should check out his blog, http://doncharisma.org. At least I think that’s it. If not, so sorry Don. Sinus headache, remember?
Since I can’t go shopping at this time, I have started online shopping at Amazon. I think I went a bit overboard on a few things there, but since you don’t actually see the product, just a description, you don’t know until it arrives. 
Just a few days ago I got a call from the office telling me I had a large package downstairs. Large? It was about the size of a coffin. It is still taking up half my living room. As you can see, I ordered paper towels, also 
well, that’s more like a photo of the box with the towels at the top. So, here’s another one.
A dozen packages of paper plates, and a huge bag of paper bowls. Since I can’t wash dishes at the moment, I use a lot of paper products. And last, 
a dozen boxes of Kleenex, although I only pulled one out because I only needed one opened at the time. Fortunately there was no shipping fee, since the order was more than $50. The trash bags and Windex are still to come, and naturally they are the items I needed the most. Except for the Kleenex, since I somehow caught a head cold without ever leaving the building. How? Your guess is as good as mine. I think if there is half of an allergen floating around the hemisphere it makes it to my nose and takes up residence there.
I’ve pretty much slept thru the past few days. It’s just too comfortable under the covers to move lately, and I have a lot of lost sleep to make up. Throw a couple of pain pills a day into the mix, and I’m snoring like, well, a lumberjack? Or maybe more like Max did. For such a tiny dog he could beat my dad when it came to snoring.
Well, back to the sinus meds. Doctor appointment on Friday for results of CAT scan. To tell the truth, I’m not sure I really want to know.

When I moved to AZ to teach and my son and his family were there already, we went to Cosco’s and he insisted that I buy toilet paper. In my tiny apartment, I could hardly find room to store it all. I was still using that first huge package after 18 months. He said, “Well, you didn’t run out!” True. . . . What were the results of your CAT scan?
My paper towels are stored on the floor behind a chair, about the only place we could find that was not in the middle of the floor. I get the results of the CAT scan tomorrow, so I’m trying to remain calm and stress free tonight. Hard to do, but the pain level is dropping, so I have a feeling the shoulder is knitting back together on its own.
So glad it is healing! Blessings as you go!
That is a lot of paper goods, Angie. At least there was no shipping fee!
Yeah, there’s that. Now to find a place to store it in a two small room apartment that is already overcrowded. Should last me a year or two though, except the Kleenex, which I go thru pretty fast.
