Okay, alright, yes.

I got a shower in but skipped the shave.  The shower about floored me.  Tired.  It ended up that supper was to be arriving between 18:00 and 19:00, so... I waited for that.  I needed to wait anyway, to get a second wind.  After I ate I started to mentally sort out what I wanted to accomplish tonight.  My shopping list was hammered down, and I ensured the list went with me.  A good thing too, I had to constantly check the list.  Not that there was all that much but the items were diverse and my mind keeps wanting to just shut down.  Tired. 

On the good side, in spite of being up to 280.6 pounds, I can actually easily get into my "thin" jeans (somewhere between 37/39 waist).  I am starting to think, perhaps, that I developed muscle while my mother worked me.  Considering how lathargic I had been, it wouldn't take much to have built up, if it might take time and food to fill out.  And I seem to be dried out, with the water pills.  My ankles, abdomen, fingers, and everywhere else seem normal so that I might be cutting my water pill by half a tab, down to one and a half tab, so as not to pursue a dead horse with it.  I, considering I am an ugly man, look as good as I have looked in decades tonight.  I'm not overflowing my thin jeans, and the muscle shirt looks like... well... like it belongs on me.  Heh.

Before I left I wanted to find the old gas cap, to see if that was what was causing the engine light to be freaking me out.  A bit of looking, and a number of other items were found along the way, including my old multi-meter.  It's digital and relatively modern, from the mid 90's.  I'll have to check it, though it probably needs a 9v battery.  I believe I took that out long ago when storing it.  I hope I did!  After a goodly bit of looking I finally did find the gas cap.  The guy at Midas believed that the engine would take a run cycle, but would turn off the light, if that was the problem.  I suspected differently.  So, before starting the engine, I put the new/old cap on.  Ahhhh...  No engine warning light when I lit her up, or when I lit her up after each store or on the way home!  So, I can cancel the car doc appointment and drive to SLC with no worries.

In town I took the non-contact volt tester in for an exchange first thing.  I went and got another.  Nope, it too refused to make sound.  The only other option was to upgrade and hope, I wasn't willing to give that company a third try, or really a second as that is why it was tested before I left the store.  I didn't think to test the Milwaukee brand device before leaving, though I should have.  No problems, it does work.  At $10 more, it better have worked.  I then grabbed a punch/keyhole saw and decided to also get the add-on for the Dremel.  Why?  Because I know part of the drywall I will be cutting is directly attached to a joist.  Which means the punch saw will not do well there.  Further, as I begin messing with other electrical around my home I am guessing I will find other areas where having something that cuts just through the drywall without cutting what is behind it will be a better, if messier, slower, and more expensive means of doing the job.  It will be a specialty tool for those odd areas.  At least I didn't go whole hog and by the cordless Dremel too (it was there, begging me to take it home, at the right price too, Bah!).

On to the grocery store.  I about had sticker shock, the bill rang up to slightly over $200.  Okay, 3 months worth of cat litter (which can be hard to find, even if I didn't want to start storing some of it I wanted to have more than one extra bag on hand), so... yeah.  And, about that much in wet cat food, three month's worth, as I rotate that, and wanted to fill up my 'use' larder which was empty, while also adding just a few boxes of it to the mid-term larder (there is no real way to long term store pet food, I think, save by raising chickens and fishing?).  Milk, cat treats, and chocolate covered cherries finished the list.  I've tasted boutique chocolate covered cherries, but to be honest, I enjoy Queen Anne cordial cherries by far.  I saved getting coffee for tomorrow.  I may just check Well-Foods, or whatever, in SLC, so I can take the faster/shorter way home though.  Plus, I enjoy shopping there.  Brings back memories of another life, if I have to put up with hippies and snobs to do it.  Of course, there is some fun to raiding their 'sanctuaries', bringing my form and nature right through their hateful "peaceful" little world, like a tank through Jonestown or something.  *evil grins*  It might frighten some of the littlens, but it lets the bad actors know to be good. 

No, I didn't make it to my friends.  I got a later start than anticipated, I was and am already dragging bottom, and I just didn't think it would work.  Bleh.  I think we are scheduled for a Saturday shoot.  I will just have to figure out how to keep that, then find out when he wants to go again and make that.

Tomorrow I have to be up and out by... 10:00 is my guess.  With a long shower tonight, a quicky will do in the morning.  Since I will driving through the noon rush, I don't want to shave my time too closely.  A two hour trip can quickly turn into a three or four hour trip.  An accident, heavier than usual although usual is bad enough.  Yep, tomorrow I will find out if the medicine has done a thing, what of it I can take and have taken.  I am a bit afraid of this test.  If my heart is much improved, than the problem is me or something else.  If it isn't improved... options thin a bit.  Hmm, we will see.  A slight improvement though, to 20% or even 30% would be... the optimum answer.  I guess time will tell.

Oh, well, now to figure out how to try to sleep, or even rest, before too long.  I don't want to go in sleep deprived or otherwise stressed.  I wonder, if I get there early, would they mind if I sacked out a bit?  They might need to use a cattle prod to wake me though.  Heh. 

Good night.
