It's good because I'm feeling good! That may change tomorrow depending on what my doctor tells me.
I decided to get another pair of Fila's at Costco today while they still have some. This time I got the pink shoelaces & trim. I felt like $20 shoes (even at Costco's price) won't last me forever so I may as well have a spare on hand. I took a picture of both pairs, and you can see I took one of the pink insoles from my "old" pair and tried it in the new. The insoles really make a difference.
Knowing how much yard work I need to do, and not having any gardening gloves, I was an easy sell for Costco's gloves - the kicker is that they come in a pkg. of six, but for the low price of $6.99. I won't live long enough to wear out 6 prs of gardening gloves, especially since I dislike gardening in California.
I took a few photos of the weeds I'm dealing with, and this is after I paid a hefty price to have some new sheeting laid down last year and new gravel spread. The gravel was spread so thin that the sheeting shows through in many spots. I feel so stupid for thinking I would get decent work done. If I ever hire someone again they will have to have at least 5 recommendations I can verify. That's a big reason why I'm not handing money over to a roofer! They see an old lady and figure it's as good as a license to steal.
I hit the jackpot on the gym's scale last night - I have now gained back all the weight I lost being ill and in the hospital. I am up to 118.6! Now for the next 15 or 20. I'm beginning to see a big difference in how I look and feel.
The mailman delivered a box to me this afternoon, and I think it is the device that converts UHF to DVD. I'm hoping I don't have to worry about doing it myself - with all the younger minds in the family who can read directions, I shouldn't have to.
- New Glasses
I'm not good at taking selfies (in fact I think the word "selfie" is dumb to begin with), so I'll publish a picture when I can. My new glasses came in today, so I was off to Walmart to pick them up. They improve my distance...

Yesterday (Sunday) I drove to Costco to fill up the gas tank. Local news stories say that gas will go up 10 cents/gal. or more in January because of "Cap in Trade", whatever the heck that is. I think it's a way for the states to charge...
- Packing Up
I've spent the morning getting my gear together, which was mostly together since the last trip just a week ago. As always, I'm worried I will forget something, and I usually do. I ground up coffee beans for 3 days of morning coffee...
- I Am So Embarrassed!
I didn't notice it until I went to bed last night, but I wore shoes from two different pairs all day long! I love my Hafflingers clogs made of felt with cork soles, and have a pair in black and one in navy blue. The navy pair...
