Well, not the BIIIG city, but around here any town with more than 2,500 people is big.

Had my blood tested at the hospital. It's too thin by a fair margin. (The reading should stay between 2 and 3. I tested at 4.2.) They told me not to use any warfarin for the next two days and to eat a nice leafy salad today. Leafy vegetables, you might remember, counteract warfarin, so the salad will help thicken my blood. It'll be a pleasure. I miss salad. They'll test me again on the 7th.

Next, we went to Wal-mart and Aldi. Aldi is a discount supermarket some of you might have heard of. It has excellent prices but few name brands and a poor selection compared to your local Safeway or Kroger. Between the two stores, we bought about $400 of food, mostly canned, and a few other things we needed. When we got home, 213 cans went into the garage utility room. It stays temperate in the winter because of a furnace and water heater, so we've got a month's worth of food right there. Perhaps another week's worth went upstairs into the freezer, fridge and pantry.

At the hospital, I asked about the Wuhan virus. The first woman told me that a case of it had turned up in Manchester (New Hampshire.) Whoa! I asked the nurse who drew my blood and she said that two cases have been detected in the state. But upon further discussion, I found that she didn't know the difference between the Wuhan coronavirus and just-plain-coronavirus. My conclusion is that the women probably didn't know what they were talking about. I'll do a little research now that I'm home.
