Sunny Sunday

...and I seem to be dealing with a cold *sighs*

Yesterday morning Kevin tackled mowing the entryway lawn which had grown some with these past couple weeks of rain; I weeded the multiple gardens and shrubs out by the mailbox.

Friday we learned that we not only lost the cable box and internet router, but the machine that answered both phone lines, as well. We located one out near the BGDMall and decided to make it into a multifaceted trip yesterday afternoon since we rarely find ourselves in that part of town anymore.

After finding the phone section of the warehouse called a store (now on the opposite side of the store from where they were a few months ago), we zeroed right in on the equipment that would meet our needs. I figure the walk to the other side of the store will count toward my cardio... Also found a couple new games for the PlayStation *grins*

Culvert's Restaurant is on that side of town. They serve a frozen custard that's remniscient of a treat we used to get as children on our way home from the public swimming pool. The vendor was called 'Sip and Nip' and their building was the size of a small gas station, light and dark blue as I recall. The frozen custard was soft, melted quickly, and preoccupied us for the rest of the walk home.

Culvert's is the closest I've come to that treat since Sip and Nip closed in the 1950's. This time we decided to bring some home. Frozen soft-serve has never tasted the same to me once it was frozen. Most are ice-milk products, and this is different than the other franchise products. We'll let you know how this does. (And, that will need to be great given how pricey it is...)

Our idea was to get a gallon so that it would perhaps hold better in the 90 degree weather since we were planning another brief stop on the way home. They, of course, were out of gallon containers. At least we didn't have to ask for insulated bags...

We went to the bowling alley to clean out our lockers of twenty-some years. With the uncertainty of our treatment schedule and the unpredictable side-effects of everything we're doing, we just don't think making that kind of commitment is realistic at this point.

We'll miss a number of the people we've gotten to know there over the years. And now we'll need to find something else to do with our Wednesday evenings. We'll let you know what that is. We're also going to keep the equipment and see where we are next year at this time.

Mom has been exhibiting cold symptoms since Wednesday. With all of the other medications she takes, we won't give her any decongestants or antihistamines. I've used the saline solution and helped her blow her nose. We've also given her some cold-eze lozenges and will see how she is tomorrow, when we can call a nurse if necessary.

The pain I've been dealing with the past few weeks is still subsiding and I'm beginning to sleep through the night again. ...not totally free of the pain meds, though... *sighs*

We have an appointment in radiology Tuesday morning.

Sunny Sunday...I seem to be dealing with a cold.

How's _your_ health??
