It's been a gorgeous day from beginning until now, a little after 6 pm. It never got really hot and I was able to find parking spaces under the trees at all the stops I made!
My chiropractor and hairdresser are in the same general direction and I didn't want to come all the way home in between appointments, so I fooled around at a different Costco, spent a lot of time at REI, and bought a sandwich to eat in the courtyard by the hairdresser's salon. I think I wandered every aisle at REI except the sports aisles such as water sports, rock climbing, cycling, etc. I love looking at hiking and camping equipment, and while I don't need another item I think about my granddaughter, Ara, and what she might need. When we were backpacking in May our tiny little stove failed and the water pump took eons to fill a small bottle with filtered drinking water.
Since I'm a member of REI, I have a fair amount of dividend I never used this year and I'm waiting until Ara comes back to Sac for a visit to take her over there to see what she might want to spend it on. It won't buy a big ticket item but the smaller items add up. One problem is that most of the merchandise in stores in the west have products that are better suited for the western mountains, while the Appalachians are better supplied from the east coast. But strolling around any kind of outdoors equipment store is my idea of heaven!
I am again yearning for a dog, a young male black lab. I'd even consider a puppy. Call me crazy, and I probably will never get one, but I think about it all the time.
- Dead Battery!
I'm sitting here on a Saturday morning waiting for AAA to show up and jump start my car. I went out bright and early to drive to the farmers' market when I discovered the battery was dead. After the jump I will immediately drive to...
- Hangin' In There
I walked again this afternoon, about twice as far as yesterday which still isn't very much, but it's a start. I can't say I feel all that great for doing it, but I know it's necessary while I'm getting enough strength back to...
- Just A Few Thoughts Tonight
Traveling and camping items are spread all over my living room and kitchen and I wonder if it will all come together by next weekend. Add to that all the little things I need to do this week and calls to make, I worry I'll be rushing at the...
- My Eyes Are Ok
I saw Dr. G this morning to find out if the irritation I had in one eye could have been related to the jaundice. He said my eyes were fine and gave me a couple of samples of eyedrops, one will require a prescription if I need it filled, and the...
