In to town.

.
.
If nothing else, I simply wanted to escape.  It was a short escape, and gravity of home pulled me back fairly quickly.  But, of the moment, it will do.  I checked my mail first thing.  Some things I was hoping for were in.  Some thing I didn't think would be in was.  My water pills!  Yes, that will make life much more comfortable.  The rest I had another week before I was out, and that particular one isn't as vital, but welcome none the less.  Shortshifting some medicines is fine, not so with others.

A meal, first thing.  I have been too busy to cook, or otherwise tinker with, food.  Some tasks just require too much for me to do other things.  I probably, if I had thought about it, would have chosen food.  Probably.  But when involved, and focused, thinking on different matters isn't always possible.  It was more than I could eat, but just by four bites.  I would much rather have it that way than to finish the last bite and begin looking around for... food.  Don't tease, all I'm suggesting.

Then to the grocery store.  I was able to buy almost all of the fluids I had hoped to purchase, and the mixes.  Good thing I stopped at the post office first.  There was a flier making soda much less expensive.  The rest was just as is.  I bought the one thing I might need for waffles.  I was sure, and verified when I got home, that I had baking powder.  The problem is that I don't know how old it is.  I'll check it first.  I just know if I had checked it without having fresh on hand it would have been bad.  Just trust me.  As well, I bought a number of whole grain things and yogurts of several styles, so a breakfast can be had even if I am not up to cooking.  Mix to two, is my thought.  I've been meaning to try that anyway.  Might have a bit of that in a while, just because I can and haven't been eating well so perhaps should.

I did mean to pick up another coffee pot.  The old one that was pressed into service just isn't the best.  It doesn't want to stay together, and doesn't go together well.  It works, but then so do I... mostly, sometimes.  But I wouldn't hire me to do squat.  Might ask for a hand, or a short bit of work.  And, the coffee pot is like that.  I'll keep it around, for when the next one fails, or I need it for some sort of experiment or project.  Oh well.  I have to get into town soon anyway.  More business has come up.  Well, and I only bought just enough milk and cream to last a bit, until my store is open.  Gas, here, at the one place I noticed, was down to $1.69?  Seriously?  Nice.

Well... on to a few other things.  Later.  Or good night.  I'm just not sure yet.

  1. I don't know.. Surely somebody might hire you to hog the remote and warm the couch?

  2. Yeah, but it would have to on a rotating schedule! Well, and how about just hog the computer/internet/game console? Oh, and I don't "do" couches. executive office chairs, even in when watching tv. I'm... sort of picky, and hate commercials. :p

    Hey! I wonder if anyone needs a simple general cave ogre? Roam around the home and grounds, doing what I do? Thanks for the idea, foam. Now I feel much better!

  3. Simple? More like a complicated general cave curmudgeon :-). Maybe you should post an ad on Craig's list :-)

  4. Nah. They, those who seek my kind, always know where to find us.

    Hmm, perhaps you don't know ogres? I am simple, as an ogre, but ogres can be complicated, sort of. How about a regular ogre, instead of a simple one?

  5. Depends on the layers .. And the earwax ..

  6. I actually bought little metal spoons to deal with the earwax (which I highly recommend). I even checked into uses for ear wax. Nada... not a single use I could find, so onto a tissue and into the waste. :(

    As for layers? More, and less, than what might be expected from reading here. Ogres are tricky that way.
