Medicine and groceries.

.
.
Yeah, the scripts went through.  Not sure they were filled, but after calling in they were ready when I got there.  The price frightened me at first.  It seemed so much higher than before.  Losarten is a rather spendy medicine, the most expensive of the lot, probably because it is potassium sparing.  When I was told these were for three months... no problem.  Monthly it would be a challenge.  Though, for some reason, the potassium, I only get that in monthly lots.  I wonder if it is too fragile, or breaks down to quickly.  That's a bit of an annoyance.  I'll see what I can do about that.  At least this potassium is easy for me to take.  The V.A. stuff was terrible.

After that, groceries.  Just a bit.  Apples, cabbage, romaine lettuce, a few other things.  I also caved and went for ranch dressing packets.  I have tried and tried, and tried some more, to get the right blend of spices.  I just can't get it.  I'll still make my own mayo, and I keep creme fraisch on hand regularly now.  Using that rather than sour cream, I do like the texture better... plus it is definitely probiotic as I use kefir to produce it.  I might whip that up for a salad before bedtime.  Yeah, I think I won't mind adding veggies in, certain ones.

Oh, right, I think I also finally figured out my problem with kefir... why it was often thin.  I think many, when they say they use whole milk?  They aren't talking about whole milk you find in stores, but whole milk, unseparated, straight from the cow.  Basically, what they mean, is whole cream or half and half.  I'll be exploring this.  I'll try some with whole and some with a mix of the two.  Regular store bought whole milk kefir is thin, too thin, usually.  Sometimes it's good, if I think that is probably in the spring, when feed is richer... or something.  Didn't really track it seasonally.  Live and learn.

I am tired.  At least I got a bit done, another shower, groceries, and next a bite or three.  Good night.
