Worn down and worn out. Errands can do that to us. We have a great pharmacy in our Shopko store here in town. Dennis didn’t score as well as expected.  Only a thirty day supply on his meds until he visits our great family doctor. It requires a visit once every twelve months. That is now on his schedule the end of September. On to Mankato for Dennis’ yearly appointment at the clinic there for his yearly prescription to be re-newed for his C-PAP (sleep apnea) supplies. Play by the rules or the window doesn’t open for what is needed on all accounts.

We had 400 miles remaining on the 3,000 miles of an oil change and grease job on Dennis’ little red pickup. We have had great luck and service at Jiffy Lube. We took a comfortable chair and let their team do their work. By the way, it also needed a fuel filter. Dennis is ready to run away from home in a moments notice after today.

Lowe’s and JoAnn Fabrics were my choices for the next stops. I had done a “needs analysis” before we left home and I had a coupon in hand for JoAnn.

It is a horrible thing to shop for groceries when you are hungry. It has been proven via surveys that the amount to be paid at the checkout is considerably higher when you schmooze the aisles while your stomach is growling. We decided to take a break at Culver’s. Dennis likes their fish and I know I can have a double patty cheddar burger without the bun served on lettuce. What’s not to like at Culver’s.

Finishing up at Sam’s Club went very smoothly. Nothing that was not on list found its way into the little red pickup. This trip will satisfy us for shopping for some time. As I said . . . worn down, worn out.
