When we had a dog the magic words were “GO FOR A RIDE.” It was a few minutes of sheer excitement when those words were spoken. Well today after four days of being stuck in the house I WENT FOR A RIDE!!
I drove to Lapeer (roughly 25 miles away) to the pet store for bird seed, Walmart, Meijer’s, and back to the hometown grocery store. Yes friends there is now a grocery store in our little town. It opened today!! Am I happy? Bet your life. Grocery stores are 17 miles one way, 20 another, and 10 another so having one 3 miles away again is like improving my quality of life 80%.
The other highlight of my day came when the Doctor’s office called this morning to report no noticeable change in the COPD on the scan. So I guess that’s good!
Hurrah for a ride… some days I make up errands or volunteer to be helpful just to get out of the house and “take a ride” somewhere.
Hurrah for the new local grocery store! Yes, having one close by is a big comfort and convenience!
Hurrah for the “no visible change” on the scan! That is definitely a bit of good news, too!
