So There I Was.....

...putting my pills into my weekly pillbox when I suddenly realized that I didn't have any more probiotic pills.  I had no intention of going out to the store but I refuse to go without them.  If I don't have them every day, my IBS rears it's ugly head and makes me sick as a dog.

So I had to get dressed and jump in the car.  I hated the idea of going to Walmart on a Sunday.  It's always so busy here.  But an idea hit me.  Dollar General carries a lot of vitamins, laxatives and other things you find in a pharmacy.  Maybe they have a probiotic they carry.  They did.  A national brand, too.  I even saved around $4.00 compared to what it would have cost me at Walmart.

I also bought myself another candle.  I love the scented candles that the stores sell.  Unfortunately, none of them that I have ever gotten will fill the computer room with scent but I can smell it sitting at my desk.  What I really liked about going to DG is that I was in and out quickly.

Since I was dressed when the Beast got home from church, he asked me where I had gone and what did I buy.  I told him I had gone to DG and bought my probiotics because, as I started to put my pills together for the week, I found I was out of them.  I'm sure the first thing he did was go online to see how much I spent.  Like he is without sin....LOL!  He can find more things to buy than you can believe.  You should take a tour thru my house while I point  out everything he's bought....just in the last year!

I'm really getting tired of how my leg is swelling.  I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow to try to find out just how long this will be going on.  I have a suspicion I am not going to like it.  I am spending more than half my day with my leg up in the air to get the fluid out of my lower leg.  Then, when I am up for just a couple hours, it needs to be put up in the air again.  I often get so tired of that that I say *the hell with it!* and put my game up on my computer.  It's Jewel Quest 2 and, if you've ever played it, it's addicting.  The Beast bought it for me 10 years ago.  I had it put away for a long time and recently resurrected it.  Now I an playing it a lot...LOL!

I was so worried about my bff Carol out in California when I heard there was an earthquake near San Francisco.  I tried calling this morning but got a *all circuits are busy* recording so I figured a lot of people were calling to check on family and friends.  But she sent me an email to let me know they were fine and didn't even feel it.  They live on the San Andreas fault but that wasn't the one that had the quake.  It was such a relief to me to hear from her.  You just don't know with an earthquake.  They are as scary, if not more, than a tornado.  We have a safe room available to us and could lose our home but having the ground underneath you be unsafe....shudder!!!

Love you all.  Have a great day.  Hope you had sweet dreams.  Try to have a good week.  ***Hugs***
