Sorry for the whining and complaining, but this respiratory problem has really taken the life out of me. This morning was easy, however, since I just had to drive down to Plant City to Jarrett-Scott Ford for my truck’s FIRST oil change; they also put Nitrogen in the tires. Knowing I was heading out for New York this week, they did a very careful check to make sure everything was working okay. I feel very comfortable that the truck will get me there with no problems … well, except the driver, maybe.
When I got home, my cousin Richard was waiting (he had just arrived). We chatted for a couple of hours and then went to Wal*Mart… where else! I needed to get a case for my new laptop, since I had to use the case I already had for my old laptop.
I also got a sleeping bag for my camper’s twin bed. I fully intended to get two bags to zip together for the double bed, but the Wal*Mart associate couldn’t tell me if the bags would zip together and “didn’t have time” to check it out. After I got it home, I discovered that they would zip together. I’ll go back and get two more tomorrow or the next day.
We then had a great lunch buffet at Brandon Hometown Buffet. Small wonder that after that meal, I was ready to just relax. And that’s exactly what I did. I basically just took it easy. I’m hoping that by tomorrow my normal (incredible??) energy will return and I can get a lot more done.
When I think about it, I’m so glad to be retired. It’s great to have the luxury of adjusting my schedule and being able to wait to leave until I feel better. Even the drive to Atlanta can be a bit grueling and I don’t think I’d have been safe to go tomorrow, to say nothing of the fact I still have a bit more to do before I can leave.
Until next time…
