I didn't leave the house yesterday so I had a lot of things to do today, including a quick trip to the grocery. Bel Air always asks the customer if they would like help getting their purchases to the car. Older ladies and men often take them up on it, but I haven't reached that age yet and have always been adamant I would take care of myself.
Today I bought a case of spring water (to take camping), and it was so heavy I couldn't lift it from the floor to any higher than the lower rack of the shopping cart. I asked the cashier if he could move it to the basket for me so I could get a good grip on it to place it in my car. Before I knew what was happening, one of the baggers was smiling and ready to push my cart out. I could have protested, but I decided it was better to have help than to lift something that could hurt my insides. Now the case will sit in the back of my car until one of the boys comes by.
I stopped at Michael's Crafts and spent a lot of money on supplies to allow the grandkids to be creative. And I will need to be creative in figuring out how I can let them have fun while staying out of their way, but preventing chaos and a huge mess at the same time.
Speaking of camping, I have no idea when I am going. No doubt I'll wake up some morning, throw things in the back of the highlander (forgetting half of what I'll need), and take off.
Although it's currently 86F it feels warmer than that. I looked at weather.com online and see that the humidity is 29%, so it's no wonder it's a little uncomfortable. The humidity is forecasted to go down as the temperature rises today. I certainly don't understand it.
- A Short Update
When I think I'm going to write just a short piece, it ends up getting quite wordy! I can't help it. Update on chiropractic care - I am noticing, and the doctor says that my posture is improving quickly. Jeannie had to have a...
- I'm All Talked Out!
A gentleman walked up on my porch at about 12:30 this afternoon to give me some news about the Park as well as the HOA. We ended up talking for about 2 hrs. about RVing, camping, Nevada, places to go, and I can't even remember it...
- Do I Have A Roofer?
I've had several guys come by to look at the roof and talked on the phone to a couple more, but I liked the fellow who just left my house. I told him I would call him by Monday - I would have hired him on the spot except I'm waiting for...
- I Want Spring Back!
This is about as hot as I like it - 83degrees! The next 3 days are going to be in the 90's but we'll be back in the 70's next after that. I hate hot weather! I think I'm past needing prescription pain meds, but I did take an...
- Recuperation
I have been in recuperation mode since arriving yesterday. What a joyous reunion - those boys are keeping me on my toes. First of all they periodically ask if they can help me bring some more things in from my car, which means they can...
