day 26 Color of the Day is Lime

As I continue moving along in the Color of the Day Challenge, today is day 26 and the color is Lime. This has been a fun challenge looking for all these different things in the color choices. Many of the items I have written about I did not know I had them in my things. Others I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. Today is no different. I knew exactly what I wanted to share so let me get to it. 

LIME - The first thing that came to mind was the song COCONUT by Harry Nilsson. The first two sentences go like this, 

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

His sister had another one she paid it for the lime

I have limes, but no coconut. I always keep them on hand. I like squeezing the juice on salads, guacamole, vegetables, and sometimes in my tea. 

I have Coconut Oil, does that count? Guess not. I do not think the oil and the limes would fare well together. I bet if I were to drink the coconut oil and limes together, I might need to pay a visit to the doctor too! If you do not know what I am talking about, check out the rest of the lyrics to the song! 

I have things in my craft room that are in a lime color. I have markers, colored pencils, and glitter pens (heck, I could have used those pens for a few of the Color of the Day choices). 

I enjoy crafting with all three of these. In fact, I sharpened all my colored pencils this morning. They are now ready for the next crafting project I have in mind! 

Something else my eyes spotted in my craft room was a toothbrush holder. It is Lime Green. I keep a toothbrush in it for when I am crafting with glitter. It helps to remove the scattered glitter pieces from the project. 

It seems I have many things in the Lime color in my craft room. Even the case of accessory tools for my Cricut is Lime. My cutting mats are also Lime. (I did not snap a picture of them). 

A few weeks back, when my husband brought in the mail - I noticed an envelope was from Humana. When I opened it, there were two masks. They are Lime. They bring color to my world these days. It is the new norm around my house, in the car, and when I went out in public. Notice I said, 'went". I have put myself back on the stay at home orders. 

I have not been feeling well again for the last week. The doctor ordered another round of COVID testing again. It is scheduled for later today. I have already had COVID once back in early April after a two and a half week stay in the hospital in the early part of March. I am not looking forward to this horrific nose swab that tickles the brain. I will be more than happy to pass up on my test if any of you would like to take my place!? Are there any takers? I mean, do not get me wrong - I do not wish COVID on my worst enemy and I hope I do not have it again for my family's sake. This illness is evil. The countless number of lives it has affected. Not to mention taking their last breath. I just wished people would understand the importance of doing their due diligence if they must go out in public. But like everything else, there must be a statement made whether it is good or bad.  

For me, my statement is being heard loud and clear. I CANNOT afford to be sick again. It is hard enough trying to stay alive with all the respiratory issues I have from Environmental Asthma every day of the week and I sure do not need any help from this evil illness. And to make matters worse, the Sahara Dust Storm is supposed to be blowing through our area today and tomorrow. As if it was not already hard enough to breathe with the heat index. Good grief! 

Lime is the color of the day. I think I am going to make a glass of iced tea and put a squeeze of lime in it. How about you, got any limes?
