Garlic & Steering Wheels

by polandeze

Busy day yesterday. Couldn’t get my little old dog into the vet yesterday but we have an appointment this afternoon. So we decided to head to Fort Columbia yesterday for a photo shoot.

I got new photos and raw video that I need to edit and upload so I should be able to post it in my blog in the next few days.

I needed some garlic from the store so on the way back we pulled into Sid’s grocery in Long Beach. I got it into my mind that I was going to go into the store and pick out my own garlic so I asked Mary where in the store the produce section was and she told me it was up front. It’s been a few years since I’ve been in a grocery store. Pretty much what I remember. (Smile) Not only did I pick out some garlic but I also picked out a pineapple and we grabbed some bananas and a couple of trash rags as well. I buy things on line all the time but I haven’t run a debit card in a real live store in some time so Mary handed me her debit card and I ran it through the machine to pay for the purchase. I even carried the groceries out and stuck them into the back of the car. I was hurtin for certain by the time I got sat down again but I was also very pleased with myself.

Grocery Receipt
Garlic $.50 (Corrected typo. Thank you Anastazia)
Pineapple $4.99
Bananas $1.35

I must have been on a roll because after we got home I decided I wanted to see if I could fit behind the steering wheel of the car. My last attempt, May 7th, I simply could not maneuver my body behind the steering wheel of the car. This time however, I squeezed in and closed the door. I was able to turn the steering wheel but it was still up against my body so I think I’m going to wait a few more weeks before I take her out on the road.

To follow up on my post from yesterday, I attempted some (self)directed imagery and found myself distracted so now I think I’m going to try to incorporate some positive visualization into a writing exercise. For a format, I think I’ll write as if I’m having a conversation with someone in the future and I’m sharing how effortless it is for me to make healthy food choices in various situations. I’m not sure if I’m going to share any of this or if so, where I’d share it.

So today I’m watering plants, making smoothies, taking the dog to the vet, editing and uploading video, and doing writing exercises. I’m going to try not to be a total witch as I’m feeling really irritable this morning. Hormones run amuck amuck amuck. Until tomorrow, I’ll leave you with the usual.
