Wednesday and Garbage (The Domestic Kind, Not The DNC)

Early on, I called Bobbi, as she hasn't been to T.O.P.S. since she broke her leg several months. I was glad to hear she's doing much better, almost completely back to normal, and that was good news. However, she isn't anxious to go back to the meetings, which I can well understand. Maybe I don't want to drop out altogether, but possibly, try a short hiatus. Come to think of it, I'll be skipping at least twice when I'll be in Jersey. Anyway, it's something to think about.

Also called Nancy, to whom I haven't spoken for several months. She no longer drives, but has gotten cortisone shots in her knees, which she said has improved them a lot. She still has a problem walking and doesn't get out much, but we had a good talk.

I had gotten a text from my tenant that the cashier's check for the security deposit was on the way and will be here today. She had sent it Express, and that requires my signature, so I walked to the post office to see about it. I was told the mail person would knock on my door (dream on!), but if I wasn't home, he or she would leave a card I'd have to sign and take to the P.O. Okay, I'll do it, and finally, the situation will be resolved. . 

Packed my lunch and bused first to Office Max for printer ink. Darn, I had forgotten the numbers, so I guess will send for them on-line. Went from there to WinCo for veggies, apples, and chicken sausage. 

By that time, it was after 2:00 and I was starved. There is no park or anything nearby, so I walked into a small sandwich shop and asked if I could sit at one of their outside tables and eat my lunch. Counter guy was perfectly fine with that--ahem: I didn't, of course mention that my beverage was a yummy IPA.

Bused home and did some food prep, including baking two of the apples (just in the microwave). I had cabbage left over from when I made fritters the other day, so cut that up, did the same with the other apples, added cinnamon and water and put them in the two smaller slow cookers...

That's when the trouble started. My smallest slow cooker didn't cook the cabbage chucks well, so I decided to just chuck them. Fed them into the garbage disposal, turned it on, and got a foot-high spout of water. I've tried to remedy it ever since, but obviously, it' stuck. Will call management as soon as they open.
