Another crisp morning at 55°F, not that I would know. I stayed in bed until 9 am. I used to be such a morning person but I guess 8 am classes at the college had something to do with that. Now that I’m retired, I’ve become a night person.
I ran several errands yesterday. I had to go to three separate pharmacies to get my prescriptions and then grocery shop. The reason for three is one prescription is at Publix and there is a very significant price break at their pharmacy. The other two were at two separate Walgreens. One was at the one on Davie and Federal Highway. The other was my old Walgreens that had been closed for months due to a fire. It’s now open. However, I have no idea why my prescription was sent back there. It’s a good thing I’m on an antidepressant.
I need to clean the house today for Tucker. Movie night is upon us. I stocked up on wine since Chris and I pretty much put the hurt on a bottle a movie night. It’s Chris’ turn to select the movie tonight.
By the way, I reread a previous blog about the sitting/kneeling structure and realized I used the name Chris. I tend not to use last names when I post and this was not the Chris of movie night but another friend Chris. You can’t have too many friends named Chris.
No walk, yoga or swimming today since cleaning house tends to give me enough of a workout. The time saving device known as a vacuum cleaner gets harder and harder to maneuver around the floor, particularly when I vacuum under beds and furniture. I’ve taken to wearing a back brace for house cleaning.
I use Scrubbing Bubbles for the shower, basin and toilet. I have a scrubber sponge I keep in the utility room for that and have to get on my hands and knees for the tub and toilet. I used to keep that sponge in the shower because it was handy and the shower curtain hid it.
When Archie came to visit one year, I failed to take it out and I realized he might have been using it to wash with. I didn’t tell him he was using a sponge that I cleaned the toilet with. Since he doesn’t read my blogs, I’m safe. I chalk it up to payback for shooting me with a BB gun in Boyle, Mississippi. I have a long memory. I love my brother except when I hate him.
I fly out to Mississippi on the 23rd. I haven’t flown in a very long time and I know things have probably changed. I know some companies have changed carry on rules but Delta allowed me one checked bag and one carry on so maybe I will not be affected.
I figure if I start sorting pills for the trip today, I should be ready by the 23rd. Stay tuned!
