Last night was another sort of decent night’s sleep. I’m getting resigned to never being fully comfortable in bed again. The current wedge is better than the other one but I still like being able to sleep and not be on a slope. I guess that isn’t part of my future. At least I can turn on my side with this one if I want.
It was the first morning in many that I woke to sunshine! That made me feel better, for sure. I still cough in spite of the diffuser going most of the day and night. I’ve gotten so used to the smell of the oils, I don’t notice them any more.
Today was the day I’d set aside for Twinkle’s memorial. Late this afternoon, I put on my coat and went out to take care of the placing of the little marker. The ground was wet from the recent rains but I scrounged enough rocks to sort of ring her grave.
The rocks were very muddy so I wiped what I could off my fingers on the weeds.
Here’s a closeup of the marker:
I said, “Twinkle was a good cat,” dodged Catz and came back in the house.
It’s been a week or more since I’ve seen Big’Un. He was friendly without getting right underfoot.
Now we’ll take a sharp right and go off in a different direction.
When I was at ALDI last month, I bought a couple of small pomegranates for 49 cents each. I don’t know why I do such things. I know they’re good for me but I don’t even like them that much. Well, yesterday, I decided I would use one. I juiced a pink grapefruit, poured the juice in a glass, and then juiced a pomegranate. I strained the juice and poured it in with the grapefruit juice. Here’s what it looked like:

It tasted as good as it looked! This morning, I repeated the action and it was still just as good. I have two more pomegranates that are about twice as big that I got at Walmart. They were priced at over $2 each but I did the old match trick and got them for 49 cents, too. Now that I know how good the mix is, I’ll take my life in my hands and repeat it. Citrus is supposed to be a no-no with reflux but so far it’s been okay.
Bedtime approaches so I’m going to call it a day.
Awwww, such a sweet little marker! You made a good choice.
Yum, that juice looks good! Our family usta like pomegranites, but I haven’t seen them at Aldi’s and don’t like the price other places. Glad you have discovered this combination and hope you can still enjoy it without being penalized.
I thought it was appropriate and the juice is YUM! This is the time of year for pomegranates. Check ALDI’s ad and when they’re listed, do a price match at Walmart if you’re close to one.
I agree that it’s a sweet little marker.
I bought a pomegranate at Aldi for .49 a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t really know what to do with it! Your combo looks good, but grapefruit is a no-no for me–and we used to have it quite regularly for breakfast in the winter! Wish I could now.
I’d think OJ would do just as well. I’ll try it and let you know.
