I had grand plans to do nothing today. I almost succeeded, but for a trip to town to have some lunch and get pictures developed. The local walmart doesn't develop real film, but prints digital. It's also completely automatic. As I watched, the printer flipped up an envelope holder and began spitting out prints at the other end that were conveyed to the envelope thingie.
It was bizarre and oddly disturbing.

My neck is still horribly sore, so much so that I sat in the hot tub for 30 minutes and had to give up to come have some advil and some milk. mmm. Milk and advil.

The RV park in which my parents are currently spending their time is very full. It's the busy time of year for snowbirds, what with all the snow up north. Go figure. This means that the pools that were pleasantly empty back in November are crowded with large groups of retirees. I am thankful I only venture out to the pools at night, when it is dark, and a multitude of swimsuit sins can be tacitly ignored.
I ate half a pound of carrots this afternoon. I have missed my orange obsession these past days. Perhaps soon I shall turn orange.

What this place needs is a decent bakery. I ate toast from a loaf of bread this morning that was so foul it beggars belief. I wandered through walmart to find a better loaf, and I think I succeeded. I am kind of thinking about sending some bread with Kevin when he flies here on Thursday. Seriously. Yuck.

The oilers won tonight. Much better than that 10-2 drubbing the other night. Oi. I'm not sorry I missed seeing that on tv.
I am exhausted, I am sore, and I am looking forward to a glorious massage tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to read my book the rest of the day and maybe go see a parade. aren't I exciting?
