The town trip was successful, and largely uneventful. We dropped
off books at the library and picked up a few more. We picked up 2
parcels at the post office: new fleece-lined moccasins for
Greyfox (dumpsters hadn’t yielded any warm houseshoes, and his old ones
fell apart) and 25 pounds of sorghum flour for me. For some
reason, the local stores stopped stocking sorghum and it’s my favorite
gluten-free flour. That turned out okay, anyway. Even
though shipping costs were more than the price of the flour, I’m saving
money at that quantity compared to prices I had been paying for smaller
bags (only size available) locally while it was still available.Doug got a different N64 at the pawnshop, with the same
guarantee: if it doesn’t work, bring it back and exchange it,
until the guy runs out of Nintendos that don’t work.
We took Greyfox’s new shoes to him at the Farmer’s Market, where he
sets up his stand each Wednesday during summer. Next week will be
this year’s last market. I bought broccoli for him and potatoes
and squash for us from the guys at the booth run by the rehab
ranch. One of the ranch hands (staff member), who drove the truck
into town today, told me the reason they cut the weekly NA van was
gasoline prices. He said they also cut the women’s meeting.
Those were the two with the least number of passenger -
participants. Majority rules, and the minority….Something odd: the eye that was sewn shut in my dream has been aching all day.
I have nothing profound to say, so I guess I’ll go. I’ve got a
reading to do at KaiOaty’s site. Maybe I can come up with some
meaningful stuff there.

Regarding yesterday’s post: I must have missed it last night; I probably went to bed too soon.
Anyway, I was reading it earlier and erupted in laughter. My husband wanted to know what was so funny, so I read it, aloud, to him.
It is much funnier when read aloud.
Your eye may have been sewn shut, b/c you are seeing too much for you to handle and as such need some time to adjust to stronger prescription. (otherwise known as stronger empathic and intuitive abilities)
But I’m pretty sure that I’m stating the obvious.
*grins*
ryc: that seems like the sort of thing you’d know.
i don’t know if there’s a word for it, but i’ve been doing it a lot lately. something about it really appeals to me.
my favorite N64 games were KillerInstinct: Gold and MarioKart64, multiplayer. god i miss those games.
i’m really sorry to hear about the women’s meetings being cut. i’ve obviously never been, but i have heard a lot of girls at my other meetings, especially ones who’ve come to the program without any rehab or institutionalization, say that they get a lot out of those meetings.
thinking of you & wishing you well.
Every time you discuss a town trip I cringe because I’m apprehensive of you “over doing” it and then laying low for a few days due to the stress.
My fibro is kicking my ass today. Just kickin’ it all over the place. Ugh.

I hate dreams like your eye one. Good to see you around again Susu.
