Volume 17 - Day 356/9, 2025 - Monday

I may try t come up with more interesting photos to share on platelet days, but then again, I may not. Just in case you were wondering, today was platelet day. On the way in to Austin, I did a few chores, and on the way home from Austin, I did a few more chores. That is not to say that I did not have a nice walk this morning, I did. One of my chores was to find some already peeled kiwi fruits. I thought Trader Joe's might have them, but no. I did find them at Whole Foods. I have not been in a Whole Foods for quite a long time, not for any reason in particular, just have not needed to be in a Whole Foods. I was glad to find that they do indeed have peeled (for lack of a better word) kiwi fruit, and I am also glad to know that I am apparently not the only first world person that is not fond of peeling kiwi fruits. Granted, I only did it once, but I was not very good at it. AND THEN...shortly after I got home, Gina brought me a slew of peeled kiwis. I have plenty for the short term now, so I will let you know if kiwi consumption helps me in the platelet world. They are supposed to be good for platelet health and platelet counts, that's my story and I am sticking to it. For dinner, I had an HEB meal-ready-to-eat (steak, potato and green beans) that said on the label that it should be consumed by December 17th. That's only five days ago, and it didn't smell bad, so I ate it. I did cook it a couple minutes longer than the directions said, just to mae sure I killed all the bad stuff if there was any bad stuff in it. I'm still breathing, and I don't have any ill feelings, so I guess it was okay.
