I did NOT want to get out of bed today. The only things that caused me to get up were mine and Zeke’s bladders. Then late this afternoon I decided I had better head off to pick up my “new” green ceramic pot. I got it on the local freecycle-like group list. It’s a really nice planter 
I started realizing that I never go anywhere by myself. Usually my trips are at the request of Rhett or Judy or to church. It felt weird to go someplace all by myself….I felt like a grown-up! On the way back I spent $2 on a crock for my sourdough starter at a thrift store and then went to the grocery store and got food and drink. I filled the whole wheelchair basket up for $12. There were lots of manager’s specials around the store. I got 5 gallons of real lemonade for $1.25 each, a package of matzo ball mix for 29 cents, a box of blueberries for $1 and a banana, a mango, a Florida avocado, a new dish washing brush and some ’shrooms.
I made the mistake of leaving my dish washing brush at Rhett’s the other day. He fell in love with it and whined when I tried to reclaim it. It’s the kind you can put dish soap in. Probably better for a blind guy anyway…
All that sleep DID help. The horribly painful elbow joint is a mere shadow of the pain it was giving me. YIPEEEEEE!!! Now if the rest of my joints would follow suit, I’d be ecstatic
