Tuesday; A Day Of Rest; NOT!

You have two parts of the brain, “left” and “right.” On the left side, there’s nothing right, and on the right side, there’s nothing left.

What a day!  We started early with Mary’s ZOOM meeting went until 8:30 AM.  I headed for casa Valencia to verify that the drip system was working.  There was much to do around the house, so I worked until 8:43 Am and then headed “up the hill” to Mary’s place to get a pail of water.  We decided it was errand day, so we were off:

  1. CVS Pharmacy in Los Alamitos – I needed a couple of prescriptions and got others transferred to Orange. I bought a really expensive laxative from the pharmacy. It gave me a good run for my money.
  2. Bed Bath & Beyond in Los Alamitos – We needed some additional china cup covers and some under-the-counter storage items which the Orange store did not have in stock.
  3. The Dry Cleaner in Los Alamitos – Pick up the last of my clothes, and it seemed off as I have been going there for thirty-five years.
  4. Staples in Los Alamitos – I needed several storage containers, and amazingly they were in stock.
  5. Fly-By the Los Alamitos House – No special reason, we were just in the hood.  The doors were open, and people were working.  Vicky believes they are going to add a second story to the place. We shall see!
  6. Imperial Jewelers in Los Alamitos – I needed to pick up a ring that was being resized.
  7. Old Ranch Country Club – TIme for lunch as we moved quickly through the city doing our errands, and we were hungry. Besides, I have a minimum to spend.

  8. The Bone Doctor – I wanted him to look at my thumb, which was broken years back, and it is giving me fits; it is probably arthritis.
  9. The Home Store in Los Alamitos – We looked for a decorative hand-towel rack for the “powder room”; we found want we wanted.
  10. Chico’s in Los Alamitos – Mary wanted to do a quick look at their stock, and she found a summer dress and bought it.  I told Mary. “A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year.”
  11. Patty’s Place in Seal Beach – We had dinner with Vicky and Robin.  We had a great time visiting.

Having a ball!

After dinner, we headed home.  It was a day full of stop and goes, but we didn’t have to “work”  We crashed within minutes of arriving at Mary’s place.

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend.
