Slowdown Saturday--with many things happening! Awoke early--some shaking as I awoke. Ate a scone and drank a GT latte for breakfast--lunch was a pulled pork sandwich with fries. Late in the afternoon I had a Frap--I needed something to wake me up even though I already had a latte.

Did something I had never done before--I got a pedicure. I just popped into the nail salon that is next door to my barber--the salon only does manicures and pedicures. They have a range of options--each more costly than the other. I chose a basic treatment--with a few added features. It was a pleasure to be worked on--and my feet feel great. I don't know why I've never had this treatment before--it's so much easier, and more effective, than trying to do what's needed on myself.

It was a bit intimidating to go into the place--it was just me and 5 or 6 women getting treatments along with the staff that was all women. The chair I was in also had a roller massage in the back rest--it felt good to get my back massaged while my feet were being serviced. I'll definitely be going back--my feet and legs are really kinked up with all of the dancing, the PD cramping, and the flaky skin on my legs and calves. Today's adventure was a fitting introduction to next week's Trager massage--which will take place on Tuesday.

I took the truck by the repair shop--I felt that it needed some attention. I'm getting a new set of tires, a 90,000 mile checkup, brake inspection, and fixing anything that is detected while they do the different  tasks. It's going to be a costly visit tomorrow--but work that needs to be done so I can feel comfortable with using the vehicle to get me around the area. The cost will only be a fraction of what it will eventually cost me to get a new vehicle--I can spend a little now and keep the thing running for a couple more years.

I'm in the catastrophe-stage of ordering my medications--which means that refills only cost a small amount for each Rx. The money I'll save on less costly Rx--can be applied to my vehicle's repair amounts.

Today's double serving of caffeine seems to be keeping me clear and not all that tired--right now.

Possibility of rain on Sunday and Monday--with the nighttime temperatures being somewhat warmer than the recent previous nights.
