I got my catheter out yesterday and it made me almost giddy to have it gone! I didn't think it was bothering me that much, but getting rid of it was an absolutely joyful experience!
I went out immediately to fill a prescription and picked up groceries at the same time. I had a craving for hot dogs and ice cream, and I got both. I spent about $35, which includes some non-food items. The prescription was only $2.38.
In the evening I went out to a local burger joint with my son's family. I didn't order anything -- I had eaten my hot dog -- but I ate a few fries off my son's plate. I went mainly for the company. Tonight I'm going to go over and sit for the grandkids, but I'll go after the kids are in bed, so it will be very easy on me.
I'm surprised that the heat hasn't come on today. I'm quite chilly, especially when I'm just sitting. I did some unpacking this morning, which got me a little warmer. I've now unpacked every box except those in the basement storage closet (and those are for a garage sale). I don't have everything completely organized yet, but I've made a lot of progress.
I found a bread board I was missing, but I still haven't found a pair of black pants and my black jacket. Now I wonder if I left them somewhere on my trip. If so, I hope it was at my friend's house. I don't see how I could have left them in a motel; I was very careful. And I didn't take those clothes on the trip! But I might have worn them when I left home.
I think I'm going to have to revisit my 20 items or less (grocery) plan. Not just because it's economical, but, more importantly, it's not easy to carry groceries upstairs. I need to shop more often and buy less.
I have discovered that there is a Walgreen's with a food mart on the way home from the train station if I take a different route. That could come in handy. There is also a health food store in the same strip mall, where I could pick up veggies or such if I needed them in a hurry. At a high price, I'm sure.
There are a couple of restaurants, as well as a Starbuck's and a Subway, just a block away on the other side of the station. So if I'm ever starving on the way home, I'm covered!
Free at last!
