I am happy to report that it’s been about 5 days since Hubby has taken any pain medication. He decided that he wanted to go out with me today to the grocery store, and he wanted to be the one driving. I admit to being a bit nervous about this, but he did just fine and we managed to get to the store without incident.
He didn’t want to go into the store. I told him he could go around in one of those little electric carts, but that didn’t interest him, so he said he would wait in the car listening to the radio.
I went in and did the shopping. I wanted to make Reuben sandwiches, so I needed to get the sauer kraut, the corned beef, swiss cheese and the rye bread. I had everything else. While passing the fish department I noticed they had sockeyed salmon for $6.99 a pound, so I grabbed a nice fillet for dinner, (Tomorrow night. Hubby insists he’s rather have stuffed peppers tonight. Go figure!)
I was taking a bit longer than I had planned and when I went to check out, there was ONE register open! Shoot!!! Fortunately the management saw the line of 10 people and opened two more lanes, but, of course, I wasn’t in a position to grab a quick one.
Eventually I raced back to the parking lot to apologize to Hubby for taking so long, only, I couldn’t find him or the car! I tried to hit the button that makes the car’s horn beep, but nothing happened. I was wandering and wandering, looking for the car, feeling like a real jerk, when a man collecting carriages asked if he could help me find my car. (This man probably thought I was a real lunatic. The parking area isn’t that big and there I was acting like a confused nitwit!) We looked together for a bit and still, no Hubby. Finally I spotted the car, on the opposite side of the lot from where he dropped me off. I went over and loaded the groceries in the trunk.
I admit to being a bit on the perturbed side. Isn’t it usual to drop a person off at one door and pick them up at the same door? Oh well, next time I will simply make a meeting place ahead of time.
We drove home, noting that most of the lakes and ponds here are ice free. Could it be that spring has truly arrived?

What was his reasoning for being so far away?
Hi Mom,
Hope the rest of your day was good. I worked from home today, as I had a dental appt at noon. For gum scaling and planing, and a cleaning. It was not as bad as I thought, and my teeth look great (as great as they can for now). Still have a long line of things to take care of, but step 2, done.
Have a nice evening!
Love,
Mandy
