Amusing Things

12:02am:
Some things strike my funny bone.

Burgerville offers fish and chips which are good. I phoned up and ordered one to go:
Me: I'd like a Fish & Chips to go.
Order taker: What kind of fries do you want?
Me: What fries do you have?
Order taker: We only have regular fries. We're out of the other kinds. Sorry.
Me: OK! Then I'll take regular fries?!?

Lately, nearly everywhere that I go, people are saying, "Yah."
➜ I'll be right with yah.

➜ Will this table be OK with yah.
➜ Yah like Doctor Smith?

.

No problem instead of your welcome:

➜ Here are the shirts that you ordered.

     Thank you.

     No problem.
➜ You'll find those on aisle 5.
     Great!

     No problem.

These last two examples [yah and no problem] may be how our language changes!

5:09am:
Moving thru pain
I can't just lie around all day waiting for my burns to heal. Week after week!  That's just not me! My mind is active. I gotta be doing stuff.

I've found that when I first get out of bed in the morning, standing up is sooooo darned painful around the bottom of both legs, and the tops of my feet. These are the burned places.

What I do is, get up and move around until I just cannot stand the pain anymore. Then I flop back in bed to take pressure off those painful areas. Ooooh! Lying down feels sooooo good!

My little notebook
I carry a tiny notebook with a pen. This tiny notebook is with me always. Anytime that an idea pops into my brain, I move that thought from my brain to that notebook.

Jotting the idea down allows me to forget about it. Then I attend to it later. Prioritizing the order of doing stuff as I go.

Reflectix
A while back a Reader commented to me about Reflectix. Was that Reader you? I am sooooo thankful!

Reflectix is a wonderful insulation product. A sandwich of insulation in the middle with waffled aluminum on the front and back. Only a 1/4" thick. Cut it with an ordinary scissors. Cheap! Comes in a roll [Link]. I use the small roll [Link].

Stealthy windows
I bought Reflectix to make Scampy's windows stealthy. It's so easy to apply! Cut to size to completely cover the inside of one of Scampy's windows.

I bought Jo-Ann craft spray adhesive to fix Reflectix to the window. Once a Reflectix blew away while driving. So, now at the top of a Reflectix, I put a line of Gorilla Glue dots to stop that blowing away from happening.

Keeps heat out!
Before I began using Reflectix, the Sun's heat would come thru the window behind me where I sit inside Scampy. The heat was annoying!

After Reflectix was applied to that window, no more heat! The inside of Reflectix on that window is now cool to the touch. Gotta love it! 😍

Note: I did some Reflectix revising just yesterday. A couple of Scampy's windows had Reflectix that was not properly sized. At the window's top, Reflectix, did not completely cover. Now it covers completely!

I'm kinda fanatical about stuff like this. If it's not right, I just keep pecking at it until it's the way I like it! 😍


1:30pm:
Silvadene reaction
This morning, shortly after changing my burn dressing, I observed a kinda bad allergic reaction happening to my left hand!

I phoned the Kaiser advice nurse, and she had go to the Kaiser Beaverton Medical Office for treatment.

Doctor Presson confirmed the allergic reaction to Silvadene. I am only using vaseline to moisturize now.

My burn progress is pretty good. Still hurts. But it's a mild hurt!
