The Days rundown...

 Butch needed to get cream for dermatitis he has on his head and back and our schedule is tight. We didn't really want to go on Saturday after our last trip but decided to suck it up and deal with it. The first obstacle was fog, heavy fog. We took a different route to stay off the expressway and got there at about 9:30. The crowds were nothing like they had been the previous Saturday and the trip was pleasant. The flog had lifted mostly by the time we got to Costco. Yes, Costco. Another place to avoid on weekends but it too was pleasantly crowded but not to the point of exasperation. And our last stop was HEB. All in all a very pleasant Saturday morning and we were able to get all of our chores done. 

So at days end, I can say we had a very delightful day and accomplished a bunch.

Now if it would stop raining and give us a day of sunshine. We would be ever so grateful!

OMG!

 I interrupt this post to tell you about something we have not experienced in quite some time! A gullywasher, downpour, torrential rain, raining buckets, drenched and more! Butch and I played pool this afternoon around 3:00; I am only getting to play once or maybe twice a week. I am not happy about it but have not found a solution yet. I told Butch as we headed up there that it looked like rain. It started raining and we thought it was nice to get some rain. The area needs it. But then the sky opened up and dumped on us, again and again and now it is 3 hours later and we are home but it is still raining and it is coming in wave after wave of torrential rain. We are in awe!!

I did stop what I was doing to post that before the amazement left me. And now I will go back to playing Word with Friends... 

Off to Mexico

 I swore we would never go to Mexico on a Saturday again but here we are! Butch has a script for a new cream to put on his rash. CVS pharmacy-$340 or Hector's Pharmacy-$24.95. Easy decision.

I forget how our lifestyle changes here and so quickly! It can become difficult to keep things in line, establish a routine and keep everything in order. But it seems like a worthy goal to try!

More later at days end...

Slips Away...

 Time does slip away...We have been busy but that should never be an excuse. Tuesday was particularly active. Our dermatology appointment was at 11:00 and we learned a trick last time. They take their morning patients as they come in so if you have an appointment at 11:00 but wanted one at 9:00 get there by 8:00 and it should work! It should work fine for them until the patients find out the system.

Both of my biopsies were clear of cancer, however, they are actually warts, which is a virus, contagious, and will spread. The cure is to freeze them and so we did. Easy, peasy, and I am done for now. We both have another appointment for follow-up in late March. Our appointment is for 10 so we will be there by 9 and so on and so on.

After that we went to the bank to get more money, then my appointment at the Massage College. Ladiany was not there this time so I had Isaac. He was just as adept as Ladiany and he found all of my knots. My knots did not like being found and are still protesting. Both of us have an appointment for next week. I meant Butch and me but after reading it again the thought of me and my knots having an appointment tickled my funny bone. Ha! Another one!

Then we hustle back home because I still have to work in supper before Trivia at 6:30. Trivia went well. We still had 4 teams and as is usually the case, one team is dominating. It always seems to work out that way and not much can be done about it. Another team will have to step up and knock them off their throne.

I do not like cramming all that into one day so from now on we will try to make appointments on Thursday because it is our least busy day of the week.

I always plan to do better but if you are one of my peers you understand how that can go. Till next time...

Today and Tomorrow

 And then I start with last night! I love it when there are all the right things waiting in the fridge and I can put them on the table in a matter of minutes to complete supper.

Today we are going to pay our taxes. $50 some. And then a stop at Walmart. For me that is a rare occasion. We need something that will work for Butches' itchy scalp. A haircut for me at 12:30 then an afternoon of Pool for ME. Hopefully, I can work the magic one more time out of the fridge.

Tomorrow is a dermatologist appointment then massage. The rest of the week is appointment free or at least I hope so.

Buddhism?

What are the 7 principles of Buddhism?

The Seven Factors of Awakening are seven mental capacities on which Buddhist tradition places significant value. Known within the religion as “inner wealth”, these factors are mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquillity, concentration, and equanimity.
