A Short One Today

We hit the ground running yesterday morning and were on the go all day long, getting back late in the evening, so this is going to be a short blog today.

Yesterday we drove into Daytona Beach and picked up some more cannabis oil at Surterra, the medical marijuana dispensary. In yesterday’s blog I said that the medical marijuana hasn’t helped my back issues. I guess that’s not entirely accurate, because for the most part it does give me some relief, probably as much as I was getting from the opioids, without the side effects. But there’s still plenty of times when it seems like nothing is doing any good.



After we were done at the dispensary we stopped at Bed, Bath and Beyond and purchased a new dual head WaterPik shower massager. We bought a Moen when we bought the house, but the selector on it broke after just a few months.

From there we went to the new Academy Sporting Goods store and checked it out. It’s one of my favorite stores and they have lots of goodies. I picked up a couple of pairs of lightweight lounge pants, which I like to wear when I’m at home writing.

Then, of course, we had to stop at the Auto Mall and drool over Mustangs. They didn’t have what I was looking for there, and I told Terry and this will probably be the last new car I will buy for myself, so if I’m going to do it, I’m going to get exactly what I want.

Since nothing thrilled me there, we stopped at Mullinax Ford in New Smyrna Beach on the way home. It’s the dealership that has the silver Mustang that was in yesterday’s blog. No, I didn’t bring one home. Yet. But I foresee the strong possibility of a new addition in our garage before too long if things all work out.

Today were off to Mount Dora for the big Antique Extravaganza, which is held three times a year and will have over 800 dealers. Who knows? We might pick up some pretty good bargains while we are there.

  1. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM BACK.. THE MUSTANG IS A SPORTS CAR SLUNG LOW. PLEASE BEFORE YOU BUY BE SURE YOU AN GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR EASILY AND WITHOUT YOUR BACK HURTING. AND IS THE CAR COMFORTABLE FOR YOUR BACK FOR HOURS DRIVING? I KNOW IT LOOKS GOOD AND BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES BUT IS IT REALLY GOING TO WORK WITH YOUR PHYSICAL PROBLEMS?

  2. I’ve driven several of them. Because I’m so short and it sits so low, it’s actually easier to get in and out of then Terry’s Pacifica. And if we’re driving anywhere for hours we take the Pacifica.

  3. I had the same thoughts about you getting in and out of the Mustang. I bought one for myself a couple years ago and loved it … but getting in and out of it in my 70s was just too hard. Now I have a Kia Soul and life is easier!
