Getting Old Is Hell

Well, I finally remembered my password. I haven't been able to get to my blog for the past while, because I forgot it. Then I tried to sign in tonight, and it suddenly came to me. What do you know!!!!
Amy and Scott and Ashley came over yesterday, and we all went to the new Saigon Mall (all Oriental all the time) and looked around and then ate at Lee's Sandwich Shop, and then went to the big grocery store there. I got a cart full of stuff for Pho, and it came to 17 dollars. We may eat vietnamese for a while at those prices. Also got stuff for breakfast at one bakery, and a sweet called "alligator pie" at another bakery. I will be going back there often, because Mom liked all of the bakery stuff, and none of it is very sweet. Scott got a durian shake at the sandwich shop, and I tasted it. It smelled strange, like an old oily garage shop coverall, but it tasted good. He also got a fresh durian to take home and have, and we chickened out on tasting it, because it had that strange stinky smell, and I really didn't want him to cut it here in case the smell lingered too long. Amy hated the smell, and made him put the bag outside while they were here, which made it smell even more because it was warm out.
I thought Amy was coming over today and pick up her bag of refrigerated groceries that got left in my frig, but they were working at home and when I spoke to her, she was on the way to the Depot to pick up pebbles to put on their new flagstone path which Scott had been working hard on. (They took the stones we had to remove from under the oak tree because it was making the tree sick. It's doing great this year so far) So I guess I'll take the laundry and groceries over there one day this week.
Friday I took myself out for a pedicure when George got home from golf. That was nice, and I had a manicure, too. I had just gotten started when Liz came in for a pedicure, so we visited a little. This was pamper week, because Thursday night was massage night. And I have actually been trying to walk every day, and have been eating sugar free stuff. And stuff that is good for diabetics. So maybe my blood sugar will get under control, and I'll never have to take insulin. I had my eyes checked on Wednesday, and have to go back this Tuesday to do the dilated stuff while George is not playing golf so he can drive me back. But Dr. E said so far everything looked really good. He recommended that I start taking Occuvite D, a vitamin especially formulated for eye health in diabetics. He said it couldn't hurt, and it might help. So I'm going to get some of those.
Have to take Mom in Tuesday to get a perm. Her checkup visit to Dr. T got moved to the 9th, since he is going out of town for the 4th.
I'm going to write down my password and username for this so I'll have it the next time I have an Alzhiemer's attack. Good Grief.
