City:
Waiting for R - the story of my life! I could write a book! All ready for trip to Bancroft except putting food in cooler - which will serve as fridge until an electric one arrives. No truck this week means no fridge... I've lived without before. Only hoping for running water this month! But we have the stream!

Trip to mill yesterday: managed to find a place to get the oil changed quickly and no fuss; usual garage is booked until next week and I just did not plan ahead. Too much else on my mind.

Also trimmed lids and garlic pots - hoping some of the lids will fit! Got creative putting air slots in pots. Watered indoor plants really well and closed some of the drapes to cut down on heat. Caught Geri as I was leaving, to wish her a safe journey this week also.

Then back to city to watch Big Bang, have supper, do a load of laundry. About 10 pm, I was suddenly nauseous and dizzy. Made it to the bed; lying down I was able to assess the situation. Asked R to bring me a cup of warm water with a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar. I felt the malaise leave. Must have eaten something. Totally fine this morning. ACV is definitely good for food poisoning and the like. I took a small bottle with me when I went to Mexico years ago.

I guess I have said it before but my level of feeling good has increased so much since starting the herbal for lymphatic congestion that I am elated. Instead of wanting to go sit down ALL the time, I look around for what else to do. Just need to put the laundered sheets back on the bed when they are dry and hope for R to come soon. The traffic will be very nasty later in the day for this big long weekend.

I was afraid we would have to stop at Lowe's to pay the bill as my bank would not add it on line. I phoned the local store and got through eventually to a nice man who told me the secret formula; so that bill is paid and we can take back roads. R really needs this break and I need to be "home".
