The water distiller did not start yesterday so, in a panic - the water in Chat is NG! - I looked on Market place and found one just down in Valleyfield - He would put it on the front porch and a jar for the money! I managed to get the GPS operating and went off first thing this am - with only a Clif Bar for BF. Found the house and the distiller and then proceeded to try to get out. This time, I could not manipulate the GPS and ended up in an obscure community on the other side of the river. I wandered around this interesting area, past a marvellous old stone mill and another peculiar building and gradually oriented myself to get back into V - the place I "always get lost"! Seriously hungry, I went to a Subway - $18.95 for a 12 inch subway!? I have not had one in a few years and will not again! It did not even satisfy the hunger. I came home by usual route, stopping for a few groceries en route.
I also stopped in an office of the auto insurance company to try to pay for next year but could only use a debit card which did not work so I climbed the interminable staircase for naught! Tomorrow I will sort it out at the bank! All these modern INCONveniences are very often beyond me .
Big pot of veggie/chicken meal on stove - ready now. I was feeling needy again and had a piece of apple crisp from the bakery. ... then a second piece! Not too sweet! And it made me feel better. The still did its thing and I now have sufficient water. R took the other one to town and it started fine! I have used it for numerous years and never a problem !?! I have another one at Beaver - never a problem. Now I have a spare! But also a concern for the man who gave up this brand new still when he should be using it to have good water.
Now, I have to take my pills at the "old" time. I actually got complaints from my body last night when they were "overdue"! This too shall pass!
