Phones are marvellous. I need to remember to use mine more often now that I finally have cheap LD.

Storage units are a wonderful thing! And they do seem to proliferate! I do think they also have ups and downs according to the economics of their immediate area. I had a personal relationship with the wonderful one on Whidbey and it sometimes had no openings and other times lots. Time of year might also make a dif.

Yesterday, I managed a en minute walk around the block. The wind was biting. Antihistamines gave me the break I needed from coughing!! Took one pre dawn to finish a night's sleep and now am back to herb tea, nasal wash to clear sinuses and moderate coughing. Oh, Joy!

First thing this am was a determination to get indoor/outdoor thermometer functioning. Walked to Canadian Tire (6 blocks) for batteries. Still no success. It occurred to me as I walked that I used to have so much to do I was always in a hurry and had to train myself to slow down. Now, I was walking for batteries because I needed SOMETHING TO DO! Stopped at a grocery en route and bought a couple things.

Checked studio and electric off so turned it on and then trurned it on again and re-adjusted what is and is not plugged in. Ready to scream!!! But that will not help. Suppose R comes home to night and finds a pottery wheel in the middle of the LR? There is room now.
