I am wearing both of them right now and consider keeping them for another few days, which should be ok if I limit them to inside the house. I tried them again with a thicker pair of socks, as well as not tightening the top lace as much as I would normally do. They aren't rubbing my ankle, but the shoe feels loose when I don't tighten it. I'll see what happens.
I dust mopped the floors today using Endust, and it works wonders! I even dusted the TV and stand, to make ready for next Tuesday when AT&T is coming to hook me up. A young woman appeared at my door yesterday canvassing for new customers, and she hit me at the perfect time I guess. I've been looking at all the ads that I get in the mail, plus searching the internet for a TV provider than doesn't require a contract. I'm assured that I will lock in the price for 12 months but can discontinue at any time. Fair enough. At least I get a ton of channels, and none of the crap like "Well if you want NatGeo you have to buy the next package up." And when my Verizon contract is up in June I might just try AT&T for internet. I have 6 days left for the month with Verizon, and .5GB left. I usually have a lot more than that left over at this point in the billing cycle, but the little videos (2 or 3 minutes) have killed me this month.
I've been thinking of how I can get myself unhooked from spending so much time online - that just gets a person in trouble because you can always find something you want to buy, as well as YouTube and other videos to watch. With better weather ahead (I sure hope) I will no doubt be using less internet and won't be watching as much TV as I would in the dead of winter.
I'm ready for Straw Hat Pizza and beer this evening! Jeannie and Donald are picking me up early because they want to go to REI. I will never turn down a chance to go to REI, although it's dangerous for me right now because there are so many items I want for the upcoming hiking/camping season.
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions about where I could find Endust. It is ironic that I found a can in the grocery I do much of my shopping in. I guess part of the problem is that I cruise the perimeter of the store, avoiding most of the highly processed stuff in the aisles, and I rarely buy cleaning supplies at the grocery anyway. Much too expensive for one thing. But I had looked there more than once for the Endust, and I'm just glad to have it now.
I have been feeling so good lately and just can't get enough food! I'm anxious to fill out my saggy and sunken in frame! Won't be long now.
If I remember I will take a couple of photos at Straw Hat, but I'll post them tomorrow. Here's to pizza and beer! I hope they have Shock Top on draft this evening cuz I'm ready for one.

First thing I want to do is to address Jessica's comment yesterday that I might consider getting a cat. I was brought up with dogs as pets; my dad didn't like cats and my mom grew up on a farm where the cats were around the barn to...

I started deleting cookies from my computer last night and finished with it this morning. I'm sure I got rid of hundreds of them. I'll probably find out sooner or later that I deleted something I should have kept, and it really aggravates...

The AT&T installer was scheduled to be here between 11 and 1:00, and it's now 1pm. I just got a call from him saying he'd be here in about 20 minutes. But I didn't have anything else to do today, did I. So now he has been here...

After I ate lunch today I succumbed to the comforts of the couch and a warm blanket. The sun has been shining most of the day and it makes such a difference. Another day and I'll be ready for more rain! I wanted something sweet when I...

I've spent the day resting after being awake off and on all night. Joe came by to visit me this morning, and Jeannie stopped by on her way to work. Mike called from New York. Mike is flying to California tomorrow, and I'm looking forward...
