Saturday at CVS

-
At 10:30 this morning, I arrived at the CVS store on Westchester Drive in High Point NC, to pick up a prescription for my mother. When I walked in the main door of the store, I noticed that the pharmacy area was dark, and the privacy screen that is normally used when they are giving vaccinations was in front of the pharmacy counter. The automated phone system kept saying: "Welcome to CVS Pharmacy.", over and over. I asked a cashier at the front store counter about why the pharmacy wasn't open, and when it might be. As it turns out, she was an employee that normally works in the pharmacy itself, and she said that the pharmacist had "called out", and that they could not open the pharmacy without a pharmacist on duty. She apologized for the inconvenience, and went on to tell me that the district store manager was trying to find a pharmacist for that store, and they were hoping to be open by lunch, but that so far they had not heard back from him about anything definite. 
I needed a few items from the Food Lion grocery store in the same shopping area as the CVS store, and so I went ahead and did that. I stopped back in CVS at 11:45, and at that time the pharmacy still was not open, and they did not know a timeframe of when it would be. The cashier did tell me that they would not put already filled prescriptions back in stock for 14 days, and again apologized for my inconvenience.

Making Spiced Sugar

-
 Yesterday I made my own version of spiced sugar. I started with one cup of white sugar; the spices were added to suit my own taste. To the sugar, I added the following ground spices: cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. I stirred them until they were thoroughly mixed, and sealed them in a glass jar. They will be wonderful for cooking/baking with, as well as to add to a cup of warm black tea. Enjoy!

This Afternoon

-
Between 230 and 300 this afternoon, Ellie and I were taking a walk in the front yard, and we noticed a woman approaching. She was walking along the Old Thomasville Rd., coming from town(Thomasville). She staggered out into one lane of the road, and a charcoal grey SUV honked its horn at her to move out of the road.  She stood in Penny Road for a few minutes and looked at me and Ellie, then started moving towards us. She had a small black backpack, and another black drawstring bag that looked like the kind you might carry a water bottle in. She was white, with blonde hair, and had on red shorts and a white shirt. I estimated that she was around my age(58), plus or minus 5 years.  She appeared to be either inebriated or high. She called "Hey, Lady", to me as she moved toward Ellie and me. I was at the same time moving towards the house with Ellie. She asked about what breed of dog Ellie was, and told me that she'd had a Chihuahua once. Part of the time, she shielded her eye

Wednesday with Camille

 This morning, I finished the final cooking of a batch of mixed citrus perl that I am making into candied fruit peel. once it cooled, I drained the sugar syrup liquid off and put it into a container. It is wonderful for flavoring teas and cocktails, as we!! As sparking water. Then I placed the peel on a tray covered in wax paper to dry, and covered it with granulated sugar.  Around 11:30 this morning, I started cooking some homemade Cuban black bean soup. I had soaked the dried beans in water overnight in preparation.  I spent this rainy day inside, enjoying the company of my animal family: my terrier dog, Ellie, and my two birds, my grey cockatiel, Ric, and my blue crowned conure, Earl. Such pleasant time! For dessert tonight, I made lemon pudding with fresh blueberries and banana in it, rimmed with miniature vanilla wafers. I used the banana peel from the banana to start some banana water, which is very good for green houseplants. I made an interesting gin and tonic with some of the
