Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.
My spring break is starting! Woo hoo! I’m going on a trip – first to Baltimore, then to New York. I’ll see old friends and old places. It should be so fun!
The only problem is – I have a cold. Ugh. It started on Thursday. Hopefully it will pass quickly.
I packed last night. Bruno helped.
Flight info:
United #1701 (That’s the registry number of the Star Trek Enterprise ship!)
Depart LA 8:10am
Arrive Baltimore 4:10pm
After school yesterday, there was a box of oranges in the pick-up area. People do this a lot. Apparently, citrus trees are really easy to grow here. It seems to be a lot more common (and maybe easier) than in Hawaii. Interesting. Maybe I’ll try it once I get my front-yard garden going…
When I was searching for a new toothpaste, I made a comment that my trainer uses toothpaste in tablet form. I went to the website she orders from, and they don’t offer any trial size. If I wanted to try those tablets, I would have had to pay almost fifty dollars! Yikes!
But then my trainer sent me some of hers so I could try them! Ha!
The taste is good. They are even a little more minty than the new toothpaste I have been trying.
The texture… well, you have to crunch these before you brush. I crush it on one side of my molars, then move half of it over to the other molars, then keep crushing it and crushing it. Then I scrub my molars with a wet toothbrush, and it foams up a little. It’s unusual and different, but not completely off-putting. It does feel like it takes a little more time than just using paste.
I’m not sure that I’ll get these. They are interesting though, and maybe something to consider…
Spring is sprunging in my garden! Yay! The roses that I pruned in January are vigorously growing and will be covered with flowers in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, the freesias are starting to bloom. Mmm… they smell so good…
In the back yard, things are slowly waking up. The big surprise of the spring is that a nasturtium root or seed survived and is growing again. Yay, nasturtiums!
On Saturday I wanted to clean up my aquarium so that I could patch the leak that sprung in it last June. When the leak happened, I couldn’t find it. I knew it was at the bottom of the tank, but that was it.
But something happened between then and now. The small crack that was leaking caused some kind of stress on the back panel, and it broke clean through:
Dang. It may be possible to repair or replace the panel, but I don’t know that I would trust it to hold water any more. It will go out by the side of my house until I figure out how to throw away a 45 gallon aquarium.
