More pain

 Today's been rather painful. I slept without my neck brace, feeling that it was causing more problems than it was solving but now I'm not sure. I probably need it because my pillow is flat as a pancake just about, and getting routine things like that is very difficult.

I got up and packed some things and more things kept selling so I packed them also, and left here around 11AM  maybe. I dropped off trash, took the packages to the post office, went to the bank to deposit my pay check where the the bookkeeping agreed to the penny. Then I went to Whole Foods and got a little snack of a couple of hard boiled eggs, cheese, and olives. The secret there is to take some soy sauce from the sushi case, because according to Whole Foods, if you salt your eggs you will die a horrible death from covid or something. 

After eating, I rode over to the big Goodwill store on San Carlos and found a Van Heusen jacket, orange and a bit too big (it's a Medium and if it were a Small it'd be perfect) but will work, and I think is at least intended to be waterproof, and looked unworn or nearly so. That was $12. 

I rode over to Crossroads and looked in there and didn't find anything, then walked over to the Teen Challenge thrift store, same. 

I rode for, originally, Whole Foods again but, noting another bicyclist riding along San Carlos in direction I'd go to go to Walmart, decided I'd just go straight there. 

All of this was not that much fun because the pain was pretty bad today. But  I did get there. and first thing got some Scotch Guard (or something like it) to waterproof my boonie hat, and this new jacket I'd just gotten. 

Then I went into Walmart and got a lot of things, only coming to $66 or so, because I'm not buying wine. I got a couple little bottles of Kosher grape juice from Israel, to use in place of wine on Friday night. 

I then rode back and the sun even came out for a bit. I stopped at Nijiya and they had "Holiday Chicken Leg" so now it's officially the holiday season. 

I'd just gotten back here and was having a snack when Ken of all people showed up, to tell me I had jury duty but of course he didn't have the actual paper with him. "It's not real if it's not on paper" I admonished him, and said he can just bring it by next week. Honestly, between the many hours it takes me to get to any court house I'd serve in, and having both a lawyer and a police chief in my family, I don't worry much about jury duty. 

I took a good long rest in bed listening to more Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich, and also got things Ken had brought over, ready to photograph and list.
