Some things done.

So much more to do. I had to nap after returning from town. Then a meal. And I about to begin moving boxes again. That is one long list, and it is so eclectic. The work does not just hum along. One task needs the use of the phone or internet, one needs a good deal of back and sweat, one is mostly thinking with a little lifting thrown in, some of it is merely shopping (which turns out to be much more complicated than it seems). On top of that, I have to do everything else I am supposed to do, like eating, showers, dishes, Sam needs and wants, and whatever else pops up.

I went to Sears today, and I think they can get the tv I want, and sound system. I do not know when it would arrive though. Further, I want to check about whether a special piece is needed to make it wireless, or if that was only needed for models other than LG. I also asked about the installation of the water softener and the reverse osmosis. It turns out they had not actually scheduled it, and had not given me his phone number. They merely suggested when it could be done. What? Anyway, it is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Shopping was the last thing on my list, in town, today. I am a terrible shopper, at least when I do not prepare a list. And, with the way I am eating, I have no idea what to buy. Some things will never change. I will continue to eat pasta from time to time, of various sorts. I know milk and butter, real butter, are permanent parts of my diet. But what else to put in, I simply do not know. I need to figure out snack foods. Foods for between meals. I did get cottage cheese, apples, bananas, and unsweetened apple sauce. Though I really do not like bananas, really, I think some of my problems might be due to a lack of potassium. I am probably very deficient in many minerals and vitamins and need to figure how to add them into my diet, as I believe pills do not actually get ingested (buy Centrum, take one, and check your... remainders... you will find the pill intact, or very possibly). Simply finding foods without sugar (or a list of sugar type products) is like trying to find affordable merchandise not made in China. If you have reasonable, easy to prepare (or no need to prepare), non-sweetened treats and stuff, I could use tips here...

She is flying in on Monday, relatively early. I am not sure how to do this, but I think it will work. A shower the night before so only a quick wash and rinse in the morning. Setting out clothes to wear. Having things ready for some joe to go. And, she will be calling as well, somewhere along her trip, so that should help. It is about a two hour drive, I think. Depending on traffic. She is looking forward to the trip too. We will see what we will see. I think she, sometimes... often, is as surprised that I am still alive. Seeing me in my own home has to be... a nice thing for her. It probably means I have a possibility and belief that I might be here for a few more years still. She has seen me written off for dead more than once, and... can surmise other times. She is happy, I think.

Well, I will get busy. A few bills online, if possible. A check on the piece for the LG system, I sure hope I can make the connections without wires. And hopefully by then my dinner will be less apt to make me do odd stomach or stomach and throat things will I moved a ton of boxes.

Tomorrow... I do not know. I have to go back into town. I need to fill the gas tank and wash the Xterra. Bugs. Thick. Hmm, I wonder if they are edible? :) Add them to green beans, no onion bits needed! Then, depending on what I find out, a trip to Sears. Some more shopping, though I am hoping to make a list this time. It is proving impossible to find simple canned pumpkin, or any kind of pumpkin, actually. Any bills not done tonight though, I would like to finish tomorrow before I go in. Without an afternoon appointment, I have a lot more time. Still, it would be nice to get in while it is early and cool.

Traffic is high no matter when, and people are driving like absolute idiots lately. Texting, talking on the phones, "saving" gas (I guess for the whole world by blocking traffic), and simply not paying attention. It is dangerous on the roads here. I have narrowly missed 5 accidents in the last two weeks, and honestly not of my making in any way. My friend has seen three of them (and has expressed being impressed with my reflexes and skill). I chalk it up to luck, and realize that if they are behind me, there is often nothing I can do. I saw that kid who hit me, knew in plenty of time what was about to happen, but there was no place for me to go. Bah! I need to carry a bat in the car. A few people learn and it hits the news, maybe they will rethink things.
