@Nammu and @Blue_Bird, gosh I'll miss the apple cider donuts we'd often buy at a local apple orchard. They were the best around. None here, unless I make them myself. It's interesting, in CZ they have places where you take your own apples (usually from apple trees on your property) to be crushed into apple cider. They're called "moštárna", with "mošt" meaning cider. It's actually crazy how many fruit trees and bushes are all around. Many are just alongside the roads, free for the picking. The last few walks we've taken, I've eaten several fruit called "mirabelky" off the trees. These are a unique kind of plum type fruit. They have all kinds of plums here. They seem more popular in CZ than in the US. Blue_Bird, I hope your GERD eases soon. I've dealt with acid reflux issues a lot in the past. Luckily I do get reprieves from it.

@Mountaindewed, I'm pretty sure you would not be happy without intubation and general anethesia, for your surgery. And yes, you won't know that you have been intubated, because you'll be out like a light before it is done and when it is taken out.

I went to a color and hair cut consultation at a new salon. I have a good feeling about the place and the ladies that will do my hair. They offered me a 3-hour time slot tomorrow. I had to take it, since it was offered, but I had hoped to have a bit of a break tomorrow. I won't. Maybe Saturday I can kick back? Anyway, Hubby will meet his friend downtown tomorrow morning, likely while I'm getting my hair done. I might need to take an Uber home. I am happy to report that the total cost for my hair cut and color with balayage (highlights) will be only 1/3 the price of what I used to spend in the US.

Right now my hands completely smell like strawberries and blueberries. We had so many of these that would otherwise start going bad, if not used. I'm making a Czech-style cake with them. Czechs call a lot of different things "kolache" (or spelled "kolače" in Czech).
