I had to get out today to get some stuff at Menard's and Meijer's. I love Menard's for that kind of stuff, but I sure do wish they had electric scooters like the grocery stores do. I had a small list and just make one round, but it was exhausing. Then I realized an item I needed was in plumbing and not near the seasonal garden stuff by the checkout and my legs were already hurting pretty bad, so I had to skip it. I also don't like that you have to go in one entrance at one end and the exit is at the other end.
I also went to Meijer to get some groceries and when I was there I picked up a case for my cell phone for $6. Verizon wanted $20 and up. I needed to get the cell phone out of my pocket so it wouldn't rub on my leg as it was hurting my leg pretty bad. I picked up some Stouffer's frozen dinners on sale for $2 a piece and some frozen Waffles on sale. I am eating a lot more of this kind of stuff now. It's quick and easy meals. I used to make my waffles in a waffle iron, but that is just too much hassle now and I really like waffles. So, back to the old frozen, throw-em-in-the-toaster type. They aren't nearly as good, but they will do.
When I got home I had knots in both upper legs. I had to massage them a little and then I put ice packs on them for awhile. Tomorow I am going to try to find some of those gel packs to keep in the freezer, so they will be handy.
