What a day!
First: I am now graduated from Physical Therapy!! My therapist declared me beyond his ability to improve any further!!! That said, he did mention that there is both a VA gym program 12 weeks) and a swimming program (16 weeks) that I might find useful. Sadly, both programs are in Augusta, and each meets three times a week. That is far too much driving and gas expense IMO. So, I will take to walking the streets of Johnston...or, better yet, bicycling through the neighborhoods.
Second: I stopped at CostCo and shopped as if I had lost my mind. I got wonderful things, but they are all edible.
Third: I stopped at WalMart and bought A LOT of ice cream. CostCo was selling only Kirkland brand ice cream. I don't want that. I wanted some Haagen Dazs! WalMart had it.
Fourth: For the first time, I stopped at a restaurant that is alongside the highway from Johnston to Augusta. It's called Pinckney's and folks around here seem to love it. I had never eaten anything from there. I got a to-go box. Fried chicken, cabbage, creamed corn and unsweet iced tea.
IT WAS GOOD!
By the time I got home, unpacked the car and stowed everything away, I was "whupped". I had been gone for four hours and it felt like a whole day had gone by.
I did nothing all afternoon, and only wanted to watch Big Brother tonight.
BUT...I did see/hear Merrick Garland on TV. And I had to catch Lawrence O'Donnell's take on everything.
