The Prickly Stickly Cactus

Spent the morning around the house and the afternoon running errands in the neighboring town, the most imporant of which was getting two of Mom's meds refilled. Dad usually asks her frequently whether she is running out of anything, but one medication slipped past without being noticed. There are some meds Mom does not "like" to take, some that she thinks she does not need despite what the doctor says, and some she forgets to take because she doesn't keep the bottles in the same place (we're working on that one). Most of her meds simply improve her well-being if she takes them, such as the Synthroid that boosts her energy by supplementing an underactive thyroid gland. However, the two meds that she needed were probably the two most important meds she is supposed to take. So, I made certain to get those meds refilled at the expense of anything else I had on my ToDo List today.

During my break between visiting the doctor's office to request the prescriptions and going back to get them, I stopped-off at a second-hand store and got 7 items of clothing at $1 apiece — including a cute little summer/fall dress, a heavier wintery dress, a short-sleeved sweater-top, a nightgown, and this stupid short little dress that I am going to wear as a nightgown.

I  second-hand stores!

Then I talked to my husband on the phone, went by the hospital to InterWeb, talked to my brother on the phone, picked up the prescriptions, went to Wal-Mart's pharmacy to get them filled while I picked up some things at Wal-Mart, went by the grocery store, rushed home to fix supper, cleaned the kitchen, took the garbage bag to the dump, then finally returned home to chill.


When I left the grocery store tonight Ow!, this little prickly, stickly cactus Ow! followed me home. Ow! It is so cute! Ow! And sharp!
