Yesterday Ron and I went in to Walmart and got my 3 month refills. 4 prescriptions x 3 months = $240. Ron paid half of it.
I just pushed him around in a wheelchair, we got a few little things, but mainly the medication. Then we went home.
I hadn't washed my hair yesterday so it was really bad today when I finally got up (depressed). Ron told me I had half an hour to get ready. I took my shower, and washed my hair, in about 13 minutes. I had plenty of time to get dressed after that.
I got ready in time and had my badge and keys at the ready when we left. Paratransit sent a private cab with a wheelchair compartment. Ron always "transfers" if possible, rides in the back passenger seat.
When riding in a regular cab, I always sit behind the driver. They value their privacy and would rather no one sit in the front seat, if possible. When it's a paratransit cab, I sit in the front seat if possible because it is a first-come-first served basis.
At any rate, we got to Sam's Club early. We had to wait a little while for them to open. I got Ron settled. He was having an allergy attack so I bought him a diet soda. Then I got my flatbed and did my shopping.
Happily, they had most of their bottled sodas, but they appeared to be out of Coke cans. I called Ron. He called the manager and they did a search, found it, and brought it out. They even put the Cokes on my cart.
I went on to snacks. They didn't have my "flavor mix" but they had the small, hot, mix (one ounce assorted hot chips). I bought two of those. They didn't have any of my standard cookies, my customers will be unhappy about that, but I got some other things to put out instead. I didn't get any pastry because I had already spent a lot (especially once I hit the candy aisle) and Ron had only given me $400.
I checked out and paid, it came to $399.35. Just under the wire.
We waited for Jack. When he showed up, Jack had a really good attitude about helping with all the drinks, and we had a lot for us.
We went to work, got the carts, loaded them. Instead of taking them to the stockroom, I took them to the fridge and stocked it directly. Our fridge was pretty empty.
Once I got that stuffed, I took what was left on the carts to our area. Ron had gotten a longer amount of time today, so we used it. I didn't need to do much with snacks so I didn't. I helped Ron when I could.
Pretty soon it's time to go home. We did. When I got home, I ate some peanut butter, took my pills, and took a nap. I was pretty tired.
Ron woke me up a few times, and I got thirsty. I experience a lot of thirst, my medication makes me lose water at a pretty good rate. So I'm always having to replenish. I woke up around 4:15 when Ron's alarm went off. He either lost the alarm or was too drunk to find it.
I will give him this, he was pretty quiet.
I started working on my computer. Biscuit kept jumping up on my leg and digging his claws into my flesh. Very unpleasant; made me bleed. I scolded him. He settled for popping his head up on my leg now and then, no claws, to remind me he's "starving".
Well, he's 16 pounds. He needs to experience a little hunger now and then if he's going to lose any weight. I will feed him at 6 PM, in 6 minutes. I will give him a 1/3 cup of dry and a can of wet. Everyone likes that combination.
Biscuit seems to know his wait is almost over, he is patiently waiting by my foot. OK, time's up, I fed him. And Baby Girl, who came running over with her "whiny" meows.
Once I finish the blog I will clean the litter boxes and watch a little TV I think. I plan to go to bed early tonight, if possible.
