My life is a series of comedies!! I can't go get my cortisone shot tomorrow and have to wait until next Tuesday because:
I went to Ace Hardware today on my knee that doesn't work (LOL) to get a pressure sprayer to spray Avid. (I know a lot of people don't do this, but I do just in case I have something........more of 'I will get you bugs before you have a chance to cause me any damage on my plants'............

When I got home, I mixed it all up in my new pressurized sprayer before I had on my goggles, mask and long sleeve jacket. Lo and behold, the sprayer was defective with a hole in it and the poison was spraying all over me, the counter, the floor and I couldn't find where all this spray was coming from until I was drenched in it. So, I don't want to take a chance on mixing the cortisone with all the poison my body is working on getting rid of.....................my clothes were drenched!!!

So.................I will go back tomorrow and try to find a good pressurized sprayer so I can get a fine mist rather than a spray.

Took some pics a few minutes ago since I couldn't spray.........This is Chirita 'Nimbus'
