Riding Shotgun
Today Dennis was ready to leave Dodge. I rode along shotgun as we went to Mankato. His CPAP prescription is on a three month pick up.
As we pulled into Mankato, Dennis suggested a few items at Sam’s Club. I pointed and Dennis picked up products. It was an entirely new process for my ole cowboy. He pulled it off in good stead. I did need to remind him that what he put in the cart, would need to be loaded into the car and then again unloaded into the house . . . last but not least put where it belonged within our pantries. It got done and no one was harmed during this exercise of reverse rolls.
When we had left Mankato it was 84 degrees. The closer we came to St, James the more the temps dropped. In short order it was 62 degrees and we could see a wall of water. We drove right into the garage and rode out the rain. One and three fourths inch of rain later it was home sweet home. Within these last several days the total mount of relief from the dry is three inches. My ole cowboy will again be having the mower taken out of storage and riding the acre.
Today was a good workout for me in regard to doing many harmless steps. I might be short on stamina but have a willing desire to push a small bit more each and every day. Actually the steps are easier on me than trying to remove all the adhesive residue that I have wherever a tube or hose needed to be attached for stability right after the surgery and thereafter. In the unopened packages the new adhesive wound coverages look like clear wrap that I have in my kitchen . . . not! When they are schmocked on, they are there for the long, long haul. It is a painful process to peel them off. Maybe by the first frost of the season I will not have outlines of medical procedures.
