did you ever?

 Write a draft and re read it several times and just decide not to publish it?

Go to the DMV, the post office, and the eye doctor all in one day?  

Wish you could just sit in your comfy chair sipping your coffee instead of slugging it down so you could go to the DMV, the post office, and the eye doctor?

Ah well.  Life is good.  Yesterday I went to the pool, and when I got out, I had to message a guy about a washing machine, for a rental, and when I looked at my phone, Grace was telling me she was at my house with the girls while Grant was at his farming co-op.  It was so nice, on a rainy day, to have company!  

Paul picked up the washing machine himself, then delivered it later and set it up while I made dinner for Char and Cam.  (chicken breast...we freeze a lot in baggies, I've found putting two baggies of it in the iron frying pan with a lid loosely set on top defrosts it quickly, then adding sesame oil as the liquid dissipates and it thaws, you can brown it up nicely and it tastes good.  I made Asian chicken, I suppose...I added frozen and powdered ginger, salt and pepper, butter, orange marmalade, a spoonful of brown sugar.  The chicken had been frozen in lime juice so it already had a tangy flavor.  I stir fried frozen Asian veggies from Aldi with broccoli florets, and some raw cabbage.  Added all together, and it was very good)

So my walking is getting better but my hip is really bothering me.  I think it's my gait, and I am trying to fix it.   The hip stuff did show up here and there before the knee surgery, but now it clicks every time I get up, and aches in the night.  Getting older is full of perks, but hey, we're getting older, and that in itself is a gift and privilege.  

I have to leave here now, and head out and about, all by my lonesome...it's on my radar to go to Aldi and BJ's too, as long as I'm in the small city.  I'll be tired later!  You all have a good day!
