I went to WalMart and looked for a sprinkling can....and looked....and looked.

I asked someone and went where I was directed....only metal cans costing $17.98.

I guess I will go to Lowe's one day this week to buy one.  I need to water the area where I planted grass seed.....

From DR Laura:

Quote
I had to reserve a rental car for later this summer. Holy cow! A compact for $85 per day?

I read the car rental companies sold many of their cars during covid and there is a shortage.  I gather that has also upped the prices. 

We considered renting a car while we were in Chicago.  Since the hotel wanted $45 a night to park it we decided we really didn't need a car.  We were right.

I am back from a wonderful session at Lenox Hill Hospital. Dr Bricksburg is a relatively young doctor, a bit of a pudgy one  but so friendly and welcoming. I had a great sense of comfort and a feeling I was in good hands with him. Before I saw him, I was examined - temperature and blood pressure - and interviewed by his nurse Gail, who was equally wonderful.

I will begin treatment with hormone injections for te next several months. Dr Blacksburg estimated three months before radiation, which will be every day for six weeks!

I finally decided to try to do something concrete about the inner tube.

I joined Noom (a psychologically-driven weight loss app). I've been at it for a little less than a week.

So far, I'm down 8 pounds.

Former DR Jason has done well with Noom.  Congrats on your good start.

Do I care that Melinda and Bill Gates are divorcing? Ask me.

I feel bad.  Thirty three years is a long time and they worked together to make a better world.

Then he introduced me to his social worker, Laura, my new BFF. We had a nice 30-45 minute visit, and she is going to set me up with Access-A-Ride, which wil pick me up take me anywhere in the city for $2.50 a ride, so a roundtrip to Lenox Hill for radiation treatments will cost me $5.00 instead of $40+ by taxi. She is also going to help me with a rent reduction and set me up with PAWS: https://pawsny.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4cOEBhDMARIsAA3XDRjpNFiKjXZTO3Uzz3u654DqN47GCNzZeKujsNWx0yf3ToX9YOEaBxwaAkg5EALw_wcB

I'm not sure how much help PAWS NY will be, but they sound like an organization to which I would be happy to belong.

DR elmore it is about time someone set you up with Access-A-Ride.  Vibes it will continue long past your radiation treatments.

With all our moves, including helping kids move in and out of storage units, what happened is more on the lines of what I expected.  Not knowing how much was to be moved I hoped my thoughts were way off and Bruce was not underestimating the reality of the move.
