I could have written this blog at 10:30 this morning. Sure, I heard an osprey squeal about 3:00 pm. Yes, I ate some grapes at 4:00. Yes, I cooked dinner. Yes, I slept. But that is about it for excitement after 10:30.
Before then, however, there were two exciting non-action packed events.
The media might have published reports indicating that I was opposed to Chaga Mushroom Tea. Well, as of today, I not only drink it, but I brewed a 3 quart batch all by myself! How did that come to be?
We brew it in a slow cooker since the temperature cannot go to boiling. When the research manager went to make it this morning, she forgot to put the stoneware insert in place and, as a result, the water ended up running all over the counter and into the drawers. At that point, after she cleaned up all the water while I was at tennis, you can choose what happened next:
1. I banned her from the kitchen and brewed the tea.
2. She got a call to go play bridge with Andy, leaving me to brew the tea if we were going to have any tonight.
3. She threw the chaga chunks on my desk and said "You make the darn ( or some equivalent thereof) tea!"
Speaking about tennis, I lost 6-3 this morning. The media was having a field day debunking my side effect theory. They sobered up, however, when in the post game interview, I pointed out that the result was not surprising since one of the opponents was Dudley ( a fellow colon cancer guy) who has had more sessions of Chemo than me..
Hopefully, tomorrow will be more exciting as I see a few of you nodding off in boredom.
