Friend's health.

.

My friend ended up in the hospital.  They think he had a micro heart attack, whatever that is.  And he needed two more units of blood.  My guess is they tried to cut corners with him, or did something experimental (cheaper), the last time he was given blood.  I don't understand considering he has been doing much better lately, not having needed extra blood for many months, perhaps closing on a year.  Are they already implementing Zerocare?  I have seen him need new blood every few months at times I have known him.  Beggars, I suppose, are not supposed to be choosers?  He wants me to pick him up at the hospital tomorrow.  They think they will be releasing him then.  I think I can do that.  He thinks mid-morning.  That'll be a trick, but I can be tricky.

I did water the front lawn, then back lawn and garden.  I held off doing that, but more wondering if it was going to rain.  Nope, not a drop.  So by 17:00 or so I just went for it.  It sure looked like rain was on the way.  Not a drop.  We planted way too many seeds for all of the stuff planted.  That means a lot of thinning.  Ugh.  I told my mom we only needed a seed or two for the corn.  Oh no, at least three.  I went with two on my side, and it is looking just as good.  A waste of seed.  But that isn't too much of an issue, really.  Well, save for the thinning duties.  Even that isn't all that bad.  Something to do.  On a dry day.  I need to hoe a small (so far) patch of mini-weeds anyway.

Supper arrived a little late but that's never an issue.  I was just about to try something.  It was delicious, and included raspberry jalapeno jam, a whole jar.  My word that was good.  I could smell the jalapeno but not taste it.  It was still quite delicious.  Now, I had been thinking about food so strongly, and had purchased specialty cheeses for it, that before too long, as I started to become hungry again, I decided on some tuna cheese mac.  Only I used butter, plain yogurt, gorgonzola, true feta, medium cheddar, and asiago cheeses for my sauce.  I have never cooked, myself, with gorgonzola.  I've used it for various things, but always cool.  I have had it on pizza, but I think they sprinkled it on after baking, I think?  My word.  The smell of that cooked will curl nose hairs!  I was wondering if I had made a huge mistake.  Nope.  It was delicious!  A bit of hot spice, a little this, a little that.  Truly delicious.  Supper was better, but I won't complain about my efforts.  I have a good deal of it left for lunch.  I just... once I thought I would be making it?  I had to try it.

Hmm...  Might have to check on my friend a bit more often.  Even if I just call every few days, a couple times a week?  I can't do much, but if he sounds a bit off I can get him in, call his sister, something.  Danged kids!

Good night.
