IT's FRIDAY!!!

Even retired people like Fridays! We seem to get more done on weekends because (with the increase of weekend traffic)We are "called away from our work at home, but are"less" tempted to go out and STAY out exploring our area OR buying stuff! We have hardware and storage needs and just "stuff" on our running list of things. I guess that is part of the move thingie. We also need lots of breaks since we get really worn out! We try to use those times for breaks. I've been told by my counselor to TAKE BREAKS when we saw here last time. She's a smart woman! (Thanks Becky! Looking forward to seeing you soon to "report" how things have been going.)

We discovered the cheapest movie theater! (We are on this quest to support our at least weekly "habit" of going on Fridays to the Erie Dollar theater.) Anyway...we can pay $5 on Wednesdays here instead of $7 or more at other theaters in the area. That's for any time of day and I don't think you have to be Seniors...and I think they offer a few other days, too. We are going to plan on most Wednesdays instead of Friays now!

ALMOST got to rent the movie PRECIOUS at our closest grocery store, but all copies were out. We may try again today? Going to be out to recycle stuff and have our Brusters ice cream in Kannapolis. The recycle place wasn't open yesterday and we were glad we checked our pamplhet before driving all the way there! We are learning what doesn't recycle here...a process...another one we are learning slowly. No curbside pick-up for those here. We are just over the county line where our daughter lives and "enjoys" recycling. Here they say it's been tried, but too expensive.

Going to make our chicken and biscuits for lunch today! We ended up OUT again last night...beer and wings...just up the road at a Pizza shop. Not Steak and Lube, but good enough. We just had too much other stuff waiting at home and NO ENERGY to face any of it. It was 7 o'clock, too...TOO late for me to cook even though I had cooked the chichen earlier. We just "folded" and watched TV and did Sudoku...another of our habits! We both were able to take lazy baths, too.

Our "outing" was precipitated by a prescription from my Erie arthritis doctor for Naproxin instead of the Sulfasalazine I've been taking. I've been weaning from that because I was at the point of three twice a day and the doctor wanted to increase that to three times a day. WE are just both tired of SO many meds. I was going to go with over the counter "stuff", but the doctor says I need the "script". We had a fax # for our CVS two minutes away, so he sent it there! I see that doctor in Erie in about 10 days. We both want to limit our "specialists" and hope to be able to do that with the new PCP here. We have yet to get lined up with one, but found out the women's center (also just 2 minutes away) has many doctors practicing there besides just "womoen" doctors! We are going to check that out. It's a branch of the CMC (Carolina Medical Center) and that's likely going to be our choice "location".

Getting ready for our trip to PA and are also preparing to have things ready for more painting next week. Today we get an estimate on closing the third wall of our covered porch. We have nice porch furniture that we do not want exposed to moisture...so we don't want it just screened. We are able to "afford" this on top of everything else due to a successful sale of our home and the "rebate" for home buyers with contracts before April 30th. THAT will help and we THANK Obama for that...not our choice for president, but we'll "take" the money and "run"! Income tax money is always helpful, as well.

Anxious to get something done here RIGHT NOW...so THIS is the end of yet another long post! Thanks for "visiting". Email me IF you'd like! I'd love hearing for any or ALL of you! I have enjoyed responses there since lots of people seem unable to comment on the blog here.

Have a great weekend EVERYone!
