Hump Day
This may have been hump day, but also a day of bobbing around town with Dennis as my chaffier. Of course we started out slow. After breakfast Dennis needed a nap in his recliner. That gave me ample time to get my ducks in a row.
We had two showers of rain about two hours apart that had fierce thunder followed by nothing more of the rain than what it took to make the concrete damp. That dampness evaporated in a heartbeat.
Our first stop was the Lewis Drug for one of Dennis’ refills. Going through the drive-by window is something I cannot do. My left arm and hand mandate me going inside if I am by myself. Got that done. The two small gas cans needed filling as well as the little red pickup at the BP. Tom does our mowing and he knows that the gas cans in the back of the little red pickup are there for the taking.
My first stop, with Dennis at the wheel, was the bank. The days of me recognizing anyone that may wait on me is over. With the humidity causing air that is not only heavy but downright stifling, Dennis kept the motor running . . . almost like the get-away vehicle ready at a moment’s notice.
The mail-drop was next on the list. The mail-drop is on the far back of the eye doctor’s parking lot. Talk about driving in, backing up, driving forward and . . . finally being able to get the envelope with the enclosed payment of a bill into the slot. Again, A small motion that I cannot manage.
Radio Shack, aka: former Coast to Coast, was my next stop. I have been getting accustomed to my new Samsung phone. I finally have a phone that I may be able to download photos from it. I checked it out on YouTube. I needed a cable that had one end designed for attaching to the laptop. The cable that had come with the phone for charging had two ends that were identical. I will say that the fellow that takes care of the Verizon phone counter was very gracious and in no time, I was back in the little red pickup with Dennis.
With all the errands done, Dennis took me around to what I believe is his usual haunt when he is checking out the town. I thoroughly enjoyed the jaunt. I got to see things I would never think of checking out. The last stop was at Casey’s for a pack of cigarettes.
All of this may sound trivial, but taking care of the items at hand are what keeps us able to maintain our home. Sweet.
Of course our supper has plenty of boiled potatoes from last night to pan fry with onions. Chicken tenderloins and of course cucumbers round it all out.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
