more walks

Thursday I didn't go to the eye doctor. He cancelled because the office is basically closed under the governor's orders. We had a long phone chat and he was willing to come in if I wanted to. Heck no. I like him and all but I am sick of seeing his face. Don't need to go back for a whole month.

I was almost out of the two medicine and the drugstore sent a text that my BP medicine was ready. I only wanted to make one trip to Target so I called them in. I think that's one reason he called me. He took me off one of the medicines and I'm doing the slow withdrawal thing from the steroid. In a month that will be gone.

My walk was not to the doctor's office for a change. Instead, I walked around the hood for about 45 minutes and talked -- socially distant -- to Violet the cat lady on the way and the way back.

Today was go-out day. I had to pick up the three Rx at Target. I planned a condensed outing.
First I did a walk around the neighborhood this morning. Tomorrow I have no classes so I need to go out to a trail. After my Zoom with my class, I headed out for my errands.

First I went to Target. The lot looked like a normal Friday. I was shocked. I wanted to take a pix but I didn't have my phone. They had blue X's taped on the floor and an associate moving along the people. Same thing at the pharmacy and the customer service counter.

I looked at GoodRx. It was $203. American. Costco had it for $191 but it would cost me $60 to join. Mailorder was $179 but that wasn't smart if this is a one-time thing. If it's a forever thing, I will go that route. Maybe I'll do my blood pressure meds as well. But that will leave me without an excuse to go to Target.

So what does $203 look like? It the tiny bottle in the center—.5 ml. or 0.01759752 ounces. The slightly larger bottle on the left was $33. My blood pressure Rx is up to $20.

After leaving nearly $300 at Target and not buying anything fun, I headed for gas. BJ's is across the street so I could get gas and check inside if they had tissues. Sharon also gave me her list. I got most of her list, but little on the one I created. No tissues. The whole reason I went in there. It's allergy season and I only have two boxes.  BJs shelves looked like a going-out-of-business sale. The parking lot looked like the day before Christmas. It was crazy. But I did make an impulse buy. After not having a printer for weeks (I was depending on the school one) I picked up a printer. I couldn't find a repair shop for the old one. Nobody repairs printers. I guess they are disposable.

The next stop was going to be the bank. I had several checks here. The lobby isn't open and I no longer have an ATM card. Banking will wait. The line was crazy.

My final stop was to take Sharon her groceries and her leftovers.

Now back to self-isolation.
