Good morning, buddies! It's a cool, crisp morning here, and the bird feeder is mobbed. I now have a whole flock of Carolina warblers that comes to feed. The last time I counted, there were 15 at one time! Since I put up the finch feeder, there are also quite a few tiny little guys that spend most of the day coming and going. Yesterday, there was a newcomer, with a bright pink chest that turns to a brilliant red on his head. Research shows that it's a House Finch..that's the picture I hope loads correctly.
I've been slowly upping the amount of MCT oil in my morning coffee, but I overdid it again yesterday. I got another good pipe cleaning out of it. Bleh!
Several of my workmates have pretty bad colds, but come to work anyway. Why do people do that? Especially ones who work with the public? I woke up today with a scratchy throat. I'm hoping it's just because of the sinus crud I've had going on for the past week, and not an unwanted gift from work.
I've always been unusual with sinus issues. My nose rarely gets stuffy, but instead, it causes issues with my inner ears, and makes me dizzy. I walk like a drunken sailor when it happens, and feel like I need to pop my ears, like in an airplane.
Today's agenda is to record a Little cooking video, and possibly get it edited and uploaded. I got some bay scallops, and am planning to make pan-seared, bacon-wrapped scallops with a horseradish sauce. I'm looking forward to trying out the new lens I ordered for my phone. It's a 2-in-1 wide angle/macro lens that clips on over the camera lens. Pretty nifty!
Have a good Thursday!
