Going out of town for a visit

I'm leaving in a couple of days for a longer visit with my sister. It may be four days it may be six days, I'm not sure yet. I guess it depends on when we get tired of each other's company!

Alan isn't going with me. He's going to be staying home alone, and I will leave him a list of recipes and food he can have out of the fridge and pantry. I don't want to come home and find out that all the food I ordered for the next two weeks (tomorrow is my personal shopper's day to shop for me) is all gone. I know the veggies are safe!

So, I'm getting ready for that trip and I'm getting ready for my monthly scrap booking event down at the Clubhouse tonight. Therefore, I'm really busy. Alan has ordered me to NOT do anything on Tuesday when my cleaner/personal shopper does her thing. He wants me to sit in my chair all day and do crosswords or read. Yeah, right. He thinks if I do that I'll be in better "health" to drive down to Mt. Airy, NC. If I don't move around, though, I'll atrophy, which isn't good.

Right now the back is being taken care of perfectly. I had a bad ache last night. Slathered on a patch (slather is my new favorite word!) and in 15 minutes I was pain free. Wow! The left knee is doing good. The right knee is the right knee and it's shot, so I'm still limping, but I can get around with a cane rather than the walker if I want to. Since my walker has a shelf as part of it, I find I use it to carry things from one room to the other, etc.

As I said, I'm really busy right now, and won't be writing much more. Every time I announce no more writing, I think of things I need to post right away. No notes that get lost for me. Oh, no. I tried that -- writing lists of things I wanted to write about -- but that only helped me with titles, not content. So I have to get things off my chest right away or they are lost in my memory bank until who knows when.
