I think I ran away and joined the circus! What a day this has been already. Kathy and I went into Emporia this morning. We left before 9:00 and didn’t get home until 1:30. I dropped a package in the UPS box, went to the bank, went to Bluestem to get chicken feed and oats, stopped at the Vet’s office to get Bravecto for the cats and dogs, and then went to Verizon.

Two hours later we came out of Verizon and did our shopping at Wal-Mart and returned to Verizon to find he was almost finished setting up my new phone. Kathy let me add a line to her plan. It will save me over $40 a month. Love when I can figure out a way to save money. I did buy a new phone and upgraded from the Apple 6 to the Apple 8. The pictures didn’t load so he had to retry that and was able to get them to load from the old phone to the new one. So far I can’t tell a lot of difference in the phone. The new case makes it much slimmer which I like better. The buttons seem to respond easier too. I got a discount if I financed my new phone. I didn’t want that on Kathy’s bill so I paid for all but one dollar of it and he financed one dollar. Oh the games you play to save money.

He put some sort of liquid screen protector on it that hardens the screen. When my new iPad comes I need to do that to it.

After we finally were done at Verizon I stopped by my doctor’s office for yet another prescription for sleeping pills. This one is strong enough the pharmacy needed a paper copy of the prescription and the doctor’s office couldn’t send the prescription electronically to the pharmacy. We dropped off the prescription and came home so I will have to go back into town to pick up the prescription. Kathy had a client coming and we had groceries that needed to get put away and I was done with being in town for a bit.

As soon as we got home the guy came to do my quarterly pest service. As soon as he left my friend came to pick up the newsletter left-overs. As she was walking out the door Kathy’s yoga client came. I tell you it is a zoo here today.

While we were gone FedEx attempted to deliver a package that wasn’t supposed to come until Thursday. I was told it didn’t need a signature but FedEx didn’t leave the package as they require one. They are to attempt to deliver it again tomorrow.

Talked to Nicole and we got our seat reservations made for our flights to Peru. Haven’t attempted to make our seat reservations for the short flight between Lima and Cusco but that flight is so short it really doesn’t matter where we sit.

Over four hours in town was too long today. I was tired of people before we came home. The guy at Verizon was knowledgeable and friendly but he talked way too much. Hoping my second trip into town will be quick and easy and short. Sure trusting these sleeping pills will do the trick. I have a growing stash of pills I no longer want or need. I’ll have to watch for a pill dump day and get rid of them.

While I was shopping at Wal-Mart I didn’t have my list with me as it was on Notes on my phone which I left at Verizon. I only forgot one thing on my list. Not bad!

Need to go back into town. Trusting it will be a quick trip!

Windy. Temperature dropping. Thinking we are in for a major weather change. All is well on the zoo – I mean prairie today!
