Well we knew the arrival of my new microwave from Amazon would make a different entrance. Things always do with me. But in the end I received it safe and sound but most importantly ~ working!
So my friend A***** and I were here in my unit watching Youtube when suddenly the fire alarm went off. My unit is nearly empty so the sound already reverberates off the walls. The fire alarm was nearly deafening. So we left the building and waited outside while the fireman tried to turn off the alarm. (No fire). Sounds easy but it is humid today and we have had problems in the past with the alarm going off in the humidity. So it took awhile. I sat in the gazebo with some friends smoking a joint when I saw a white van pull into our compound and the driver looked confused. So I actually flagged him down infront of everyone in our building which were all sitting outside. I must have looked a sight. But he stopped and it was indeed ~ my microwave!! But now we had fire trucks all over the parking lot infront of the building so he had to park way in the back. I kinda felt like I was doing a drug deal out of the back of his van. He needed the passcode ~ my dreaded passcode I was so worried I wouldn't get,... I did receive that code about half an hour beforehand and something told me to screenshot it and thank goodness I did as with no internet I could never have pulled that code up on my phone. In the end, A***** borught down his wagon once we were allowed back in the building and not only did he 'wagon it' upstairs for me but he took it out of the box and put on the counter for me. I wouldn't have gotten it upstairs without his help.
I plugged it in and it works like a dream! So between getting some of my football stuff back and receiving a working microwave, yesterday wasn't a bad day.
I have decided to limit my walker use. Over the past few weeks I have only been using it on long excursions like walking into town or going to Walmart. I also consider it a glorified purse on wheels for storing things when I go shopping. Much easier to put things on a walker rather than carry many bags. Becasue I've said in the past, I have no problems walking. As long as I can walk fast and not doddle I am fine. It's standing I can't do. The pain from my fibromyalgia becomes too much and I have to sit down. So I am going to try and limit it's use to only when I go shopping away from the compound. With all the walking I did in BC, my body has actually really strengthend up and I feel more stable now when I walk. So fingers crossed,... I am only using it for shopping and long excursions now.
I am desperate for money right now. I eat cereal for breakfast and then I cook up 2 chicken thighs and I have one for lunch and one for dinner. I just put Diana sauce on them and cook them and I eat one on a bun. that is my entire diet right now. So I am hungry!! I mean I go to bed feeling hungry! So Best Buy you are really making me mad right now by not only keeping my money but threatening I may never get it if I haven't packaged this box right!????
