Isn't That ^^^ what Pearl Uses...?!? ;)
 
I get mylar emergency blankets for about 70 cents each, so I gave them to all the firefighters, police and deputies for the last two years and did it again this year today. The police chief told me last year one saved someone's life. That makes it all worth it. I also give them to people in wheelchairs and using a cane or crutches.
How interesting. What a great price! I think for many people they are a great gift, even a stocking stuffer.
There are the really thin mylar blankets and tents, and then there is another one that is thicker. The thicker ones are preferable to me, but of course more expensive and heavier. I do have the thinner ones as well. I can just imagine how easy it would be for the thin ones to tear. I think of putting one of the thicker ones down as a moisture barrier on the ground or even covering up with it. I think of it similar to adding another blanket on my bed in the winter.
 
Celebrated my Irishman's birthday yesterday.
It was a little bit chilly for a outside picnic.
So we had a inside picnic complete with wine and Charcuterie board.

Just took one feeling bad. Sore throat,mild fever, and exhausted. Wife is trying to get me to take one of her concoctions garlic, honey and oregano. I know it will give me heart burn.
Mix a little coconut oil in with it, eases the tummy!! Hope you feel better soon!

Is what the charcuterie board looked like?

I kid but I just learned what that was in like August. I still called it a meat and cheese tray like the uncouth Joe that I am.
 
An exhausting week finally over but today was the worst. Took Dad for his PET scan this morning. He said it was torture—the injection of the isotopes, being in that tube for 35 minutes not being able move. I reminded him while he was taking it easy in the tube, I was trapped in the waiting and the tv was on tuned into The View. Who was tortured more? He conceded it was me.

Went to work afterwards and was surprisingly busy with vaccines. It was a very sad day at work. My favorite tech, the only one I don’t have to tell what to do and knows how to do everything I do had her last day today. She had a part time job with the county medical examiner and it went full time. Good for her, bad for me. She started right at the onset of COVID and is the hardest working young person I know.

Got home and have an email from the radiology center that Dad’s scan results are available on their portal. Debating if I should look at them or wait for the doctor. Any advice?

They're pretty tough. It's not a bad idea to have a few of them with you and some duct tape too. You can also cut out two pieces from a blanket and use them in your shoes.

You can go to Amazon and see what they have in thickness and quantity.
