wow, out all day

Busy, busy day today. Started with a visit to my rheumie, who says I seem to be less ouchie than last time. Got a prescription for generic Ambien for 90 days in an effort to turn my schedule around. It's just after midnight now, and I woke up just after 10 am this morning (but it wasn't easy).

After that, mom and I, and the Ozzman, went to Walgreens (2 different stores), the Ace Hardware Store and Tuesday Morning. I got a great video on my phone of this talking, life sized Elvis head and shoulders that was really cool. It was only $60, down from $400, so I'm amazed I didn't buy it. I might go in next week and see if it's lower priced. I thought about Jenny immediately. It really was well done. It was like an animatronic at Disneyland, and the voice was really good, and it sang too. It was black leather Elvis. I was just getting ready to take the video when I looked up and the store clerk had messed up his hair. They were getting pretty tired of him. When she heard I wanted to take a video, the other one went and combed it back for me. Nice of her. 

Then, just a bit further in the same strip mall was the hardware store and I found the weed popper that Kathy M had told me about. I don't even know what I paid for it, but I bought it. I'm pretty impressed - Its pretty heavy duty. I got some more weed whacker string and some other hardware-ish stuff, then off to the last Walgreens and then home.

Luckily for us, mom had been slow cooking a pot of beans since this morning, so I picked up some Wonder wheat white bread, which I have been wanting to try (not too bad). Made a wonderful dinner. We celebrated the day by driving to Norman, with the Oz, and getting chocolate shakes at Braum's. He's really been needing some wind in the old face time.

But that's all I've got. I'm done in. Tomorrow is a narcotic couch day - sure, turn my days around by giving me sleeping pills with a side effect of daytime drowziness. Gotta love the pharmaceutical merry go round.
