When I was at Fred Meyer's front inside entrance where the shopping carts are before entering the store this past Friday night, I smiled at an older white woman who was leaving. I had on my usual maximum protection re-usable mask with filters (my first mask I got when Covid first hit over 5 years ago) and she smiled and came by to chat with me on her way out. She had no mask on, but told me that if she wore her mask that would be her plan to rob the store because nobody would recognize her (she was joking). She then proceeded to tell how that when she wore her mask the last time she was at Fred Meyer, a couple of people said "Hi" and greeted her by name and recognized her so, there went that plan.                                                              I think you'd have to wear more like these types of masks (shown above) to ro...

As I mentioned in one of my past blog posts, this Covid test can be found on sale at Albertsons grocery store for $9.99 (which is one of the most inexpensive Covid tests I've found in stores). Recently, when I checked to see the expiration date for my Covid test, it read 9-26-25, but I found through Google AI that this specific Covid test is good up to 24 months past the expiration date (I was sure to write that on my Covid test for reference). The expiration date is printed on the side TOP of the box (as shown in photograph below):

I bought this today, (Mon. 9/22/25) at Costco to have "just in case" (chicken soup is great for when you get sick: colds, flus, or Covid). It was $6 off ($7.99 total with tax) regularly $13.99 for 8 cans. Below is a photo of the specs for this healthy and tasty chicken soup Remember when Covid hit for the first time and everyone was stocking up on things? Well, the only thing I stocked up on was chicken soup during that time. Did anyone else do that, too or did you stock up on other things? Comment publicly to this post your answers.

I was quite pleased when I went to my eye place for my eye exam this month. When I called to discuss things PRIOR to my appointment when booking, (their Covid protocols), the assistant manager called me back and we did a quick call to discuss my Covid requests PRIOR to my appointment. The assistant manager pre-screened the technician and Dr. that I would be with IN ADVANCE to my appointment (ensuring they weren't sick/around anyone that was sick), including other Covid protocols such as wearing a mask, having whatever I will be touching/using at my appointment to be sanitized, and the technician to have their hands sanitized (since washing hands is too much between the volume of patients they see and the Dr. to wash their hands before my appointment). The assistant manager even offered to wear a mask, check me out, and sanitized the pin pad I would be touching when checking out.   It's important to remember to NOT assume places you go to will be on the ball with all Covid ...

You can boost immunity by swapping sugar for honey, according to a study in pharmacognosy research. Honey compounds, like flavonoids and methylglyoxal, can support immune function and fight infection in a "This diet tweak freed me from eczema!" article in Woman's World Magazine (8/4/25 issue).
