What a day!

.

And, I think, I mean that in the best of ways.

I did get my shower and make it to city hall in time to talk to... someone. She is not the regular clerk, secretary, mayor, whoever, but she was friendly, took my name and phone number, and will pass it on. Monday is trash day, every other Monday is recycling. Today was both. Okay, I can do that. Still, I had not gotten everything I wanted to take to town, so I came back home and grabbed some things, ensuring Sam did not sneak, shove, or sprint by me as my time was short, or so I thought.

In town I stopped at... it seems like... a dozen places. Sam's Club employees allowed me to wander the halls. While there, I took down the price of various items I know I use, marking the numbers and the price on my little "pad". Next, a visit to the coop. They have things Sam's Club simply did not seem to carry (though... well, it was me looking and I was not exactly doing an inventory). I took some prices down there and picked up several pounds of hard red wheat, among other things. Oh, right, I purchased tahini, for hummus, which I will make... soon, I am sure. After that, I went to lunch. Then, to what I thought was my appointment. But both today and tomorrow have appointments at 17:00 and then 17:30. So, to Lowe's I go. Screen, for the wheat system, since my internet search came up bust. As well, I purchased a couple of wire clippers, better ones. One for the vehicle and one for the house, so I do not cut myself again. I almost got cut again recently, while cutting those same type of bindings. So, I promised to get these but with so much going on and such large lists of so many varieties... Well, today was the day.

I then went to a grocery store to attempt to get my regular toilet paper and paper towels. They were well over twice the price I am familiar with! Running a little low on time and energy, I called to see if my friend was home. Sure enough, and he thought it would be just fine if I came by. So, on my way, I grabbed him a bit to eat as thanks. Plus, he does not eat like he should anyway. When I arrived, we talked a bit. He is looking a little pale. The good news? He did try to visit the doctor who worked on him before, but the doctor was out for today, as was his staff. So, he will be calling tomorrow. Whatever I said lit a fire and he is taking care. Good, good... I am pleased with him. I only said the obvious.

The chiropractic appointments, to be honest, are excellent. Not only is pain, for the most part, really leaving (mostly, which is quite good) but too, from interaction and the 'works', whole body flexibility and function seems to be... advancing. This is quite good. Yeah, I know, doubting Thomas and all... I will admit to still being dubious. It is just that results will win me where words will not, even if then only partially. Oh, while discussing my exploration of wheat cereal with my doc, he seemed a bit excited himself. He is a solid collector of foods and whatnot, but had not really considered how to use this it seems. So, when I get my stupid printer to work (or buy a new one as may be needed), I will print out a copy for him. Oh yes, another thing while there. I was asking where he goes, where the best prices for this type of thing is. He told me about a Mormon outlet there in town. I will be visiting it tomorrow and will see what they have, prices, and information available! He says they do not run a profit business and that any are welcome. Being a talker has it's benefits... usually.

After the appointment, I had to make one or more stops. First a fax was sent, to the insurance adjuster. I have another two faxes to be sent but cannot do that until I can write a letter, print it, then fax that with another paper. I bought printer ink, but I think it is the wrong one, so it needs to be returned tomorrow. I decided to try and do the rest of my shopping at Wal-Mart. TP, paper towels, of course, but I also grabbed printer paper, a water timer, leaky hose for watering (though that may go back, depending on the sprinkler), fertilized potting soil (organic, but that is all they had), 4 more small planters, and jars for the wheat. I could not find a funnel that would fit the thermos, so... I bought an oil funnel and will trim it. Do not worry, D.C., I will not use duct tape on any of it and make matters more hick!

I think, I think I say, that is all I did today, though I make no guarantees. Upon arriving home, I called my mother to see if she has arranged for wheelchair service at the airport. Not yet, but I will keep both her and my friend reminded. What an EXCITING, LONG, BUSY, SUCCESSFUL DAY! My world, is, indeed, changing and for the better.
