I knew I had to get my handicapped tag renewed. I didn't read the tiny print on the renewal letter. Ohio now requires a prescription every renewal. Um Ohio generally you don't come back from being disabled. However, there are some cases where surgery etc can heal things so why don't you do two types, one temp one perm because really forcing people to go to the doctor for this isn't cool. I can afford it. A lot of disabled people cannot.
So I go to my doc who is literally across the street from the BMV. No he won't sign off on this without a visit. I was JUST THERE two weeks ago. So now I'm mad at him because he fucking knows I'm disabled (I do NOT like this new orthopedic surgeon. After this I'm hopefully done with him) and I'm made at ME because if I had read the damn letter I'd have made sure to get that script two weeks ago.
Good news is I can go next week so only a few days of parking technically illegally but it'll only be at work and they know me. It won't be a hassle.
I then went to Chillicothe for some needed work on the CR-V. Stupid car has cost me 600$ this month but oh well, cheaper than buying a new one and this one has many more miles it can do. I got the antifreeze drained out (that was what was about 250$) because it can get gross. They're like it might take an hour and half. Dudes you're so slow an oil change takes you that long. I brought my computer and worked. two hours later I'm rolling on trying to find shoes.
And there it is a new store Shoe Dept. I DID find some New Balances I think would work. They weren't too expensive. No boots though. They put me on their reward system for all their stores. Where else are you I ask. Jackson. NO WAY. I live there where the hell are you? Turns out they are next door to the little shoe store I did know across from walmart but I don't go down that street. I go into the side entrance for walmart as it's closer to the highway. Good to know.
I found a cute cheap shirt at TJ Maxx and a dog toy for a friend for the holidays. The Halloween stuff wasn't speaking to me but I am side eyeing the Maxx employees. The change room has a cart park area (which was full) so I parked mine with another item in it) in front of the wall for the park. The guy hands me the tag (they still do the tags for the # of clothes you take in to try on). I'm come out and my cart is gone. I look at him and go where's my cart? 'Oh did someone take it?' Dude you have two jobs.... so I go back to the front of the store and get another cart. My cart. With my other item STILL in it (really?!?)
I hit up the Kroger's there because it's bigger with different stuff. Got some pizza dough and smoked mozzarella. I see weird pizza in my future.
Then comes Red Lobster because it's all you can eat shrimp fest. There are no more shrimp in the ocean. I ate them all. They had two new types: parmesan-bacon (eh it was good but not great) and red shrimp from Argentina. Okay these things are a) big b)grilled (but without seasoning so I'm glad I kept my garlic-scampi butter) c) so sweet they tasted like lobster not shrimp.
I waddle out of there to Tim Horton's for a pumpkin spice latte. Dear baristas everywhere. YOU CAN'T RELY ON DIFFUSION. Stir the fucking flavored coffees. Fuck. I literally swallowed a dollop of pumpkin syrup as the last swallow of the cup. Nothing was stirred in. It was awful (Lately I've been having that everywhere. I'm going to start stocking stirs in my damn car...)
Got home to a small worry. The shredded paper (I have been meaning to toss all summer) was torn out of the box I have for Rocket on the porch. He's nowhere to be seen (He didn't want to stay in this morning) There's no blood but the paper is all over my porch and sidewalk as if something was digging in there. I will have to clean it up tomorrow. I hope he's okay. The local dogs here are all his size and he can mess them up. If it was something bigger like a coon or coyote that's a whole different worry because if they're out in the day they're probably rabid. (Well the coon at least)
Then getting into the shower I was concentrating on my bad leg as I always so and managed to slam the baby toe/head of the 5th metatarsal right into the tub. Pretty sure I broke the toe again.
I forgot to mention yesterday a student bought me a scary fruit/veggie/caffeine drink. I have commented on the ones she brings in. I'm saving it for tomorrow. That said this stuff is expensive because one of my students last year had them and they're like $8 a drink...
I need this!
