The word 'chickadee' in Ojibwe (Anishinaabemowin) is
gijigijigaaneshiinh
Click here to learn how it's pronounced.
Ojibwe and Dakota are the languages of the peoples indigenous to Minnesota.
Hotes:
"Chippewa" was the settlers' mispronunciation of Ojibwe.
My hometown's name is from the Dakota language.
There are seven Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) reservations (northern Minnesota) and four Dakota reservation (southern Minnesota).
Minneapolis is acknowledged as "the land of the Wahpekute, one of the seven council fires of the Ocheti Sakowin (commonly Dakotah) peoples."

a relief
I can give details on yesterday's 'fret', since all is well as far as that is concerned.
One of my credit cards was just renewed/extended, and the new card was lost in the US mail. The card was cancelled and a new one (new number) created. I asked for UPS delivery, which is normally ok. However, the cc company didn't provide a tracking number, so I couldn't follow the truck's progress. All I could know is that the card was out for delivery.
Since I missed the delivery yesterdat I was determined to watch for it this morning - hoping for morning delivery, as I had a mid-day meeting of my book group!
The problem is that UPS doesn't have access to my building. So I sat or stood in the entry (mailbox area) for about two hours. I did make a few trips to my apartment during, for quick bathroom breaks and to check my email. At 10:00 I got a message saying the delivery truck had left base 20 minutes before!
The truck/card arrived at 10:30. It was a relief, as I'd be gone 11:30-2:30, which would mean another delivery attempt tomorrow. All together now: whew!

The harvest continues
I'm working away at my olive harvest. It isn't exactly fun, but I'm enjoying it. I finally got the report from the neurologist, so I'll pass that on to try and get authorization for the new treatment. Not too much else going on.

ack
Important mail didn't arrive last week (USPS), so I requested a replacement to be delivered by UPS. Today I chose, just after 9 a.m., to quickly run to the co-op. - and I missed the delivery.
They'll try again tomorrow, but I'll be gone from 11:30 to 2:30 or so (book group). I hope they come in the morning.
They'll try three times before leaving it at a UPS center of some kind. It needs a signature.

Olives
I spent this afternoon harvesting olives, sorting them to get rid of the bad ones, then putting little slices in them (to let out the bitter components), and then putting them in either plain water or brine. If I have the energy, I'll try to do this for the rest of the week, but I don't know if I'll have the energy, especially after the shingles vaccination. We'll see! At least, I got some of it done. I am guessing that next year we'll have even more olives, since these trees were pruned after they had bloomed.
