That's good to know, Jacqui! I saw large bottles of it over at Sam's Club for a reasonable price, but I also saw smaller bottles at the Dollar General for a couple of bucks. I figure next time I visit the dollar store I'll pick up a small bottle to test. I know it had veterinary uses first, and I've been watching my pit bull, wondering if she isn't getting a little stiff in the joints (we think she's about 6 years now). So it may be something we'll both take. Just like we share the zyrtec (the vet said they were using generic zyrtex 1x a day now, instead of a vet Rx. I tried the dog's zyrtec last summer and decided it would work for me also!)

My mom found glucosamine helpful. I am wondering if it might help with the recovery of that sore knee (and I think it might be as much the tendon in the back of the knee as it is the joint itself). I read the label - looks like it is ground shells from shrimp or lobster? Better in a pill than attached to the critter I'm eating!

Let's see. Today. I spent a lot of time on campus tracking down folks for photos for a publication we've been working on for ages. This is a laundry list from the design folks, and I'll finish the job next week. Tomorrow will be spent processing those photos.

The big thing for me today was to get my truck inspected. Last weekend I had the thought "I ought to look at the windshield stickers, I wonder when the inspection and tags are due?" Inspection was in April. Oops. So to my Goodyear folks late this afternoon. I walked in, the guy at the counter said the inspection guy had gone home for the day. I could go to the Ft Worth store, but it's way out of my way. The owner was in his office, he heard and waved, then headed out the back door--turns out the mechanic who does inspections was off the clock, but working on his own car in one of the bays. He agreed to do my truck.

It was funny--I told Mr. Lee thank you - and that I knew the money headed out the door was something to be avoided, though I've been a regular customer of theirs for years. :) And when the inspection was done, I walked into the mechanic's bay and tucked a $5 in his pocket and thanked him for taking time to inspect my truck.

I still have to finish some work to do with my son's graduation, and urge him to send in forms early, not at the last minute, for college (dorm arrangements). I have laundry in so he has a clean shirt for tomorrow. Some of this stuff is just going to be one day at a time until next week when graduation is over. We have one shirt left until next Wednesday, so it's laundry every day.
