Does It Truly Get Better?

 As I sit here at this early hour, I wonder if things truly get better. Or do things just fit into our plans the way we want, so we are happy - and sad when they don't. I don't know. I have been up all night unable to sleep. The encephalopathy is doing the mind fog stuff again, I guess. After all, the prescription I was just prescribed, given a week's worth of samples, and haven't had for over a week now.... you know, the one that is supposed to kill off the bacteria in the stomach that is creating the ammonia that is getting absorbed into the blood, and straight to my head. Wow, that was a long sentence.

After I finish here, I suppose I shall go lay down again, and see if sleep will come. I need up as the Middle Son is FINALLY coming over, so we can get the title notarized, and I can call Kars 4 Kids to come get it out out of the drive. Ugh, that will leave me with little excuse for not de-weeding that section between our drives. Before it was out of sight out of mind.

It's been a day. I started it off heading up the road to Sam's Club. I think I explained in a prior post, she is having me get the extra card on the account. I got in there, and had no issues getting it taken care of. Then, I had mixed feelings. I wanted to sort of 'walk the store' to look at what brands/items are in bulk, compare prices to what I remember seeing last I was at a regular grocery and yet, not really wanting to walk around that much. I walked. There was some of both good and bad, and the overall feeling is a CostCo with a different name. I did make mental note (oh! I should write it down now before I forget) of what pickle brands and types they had, and a few other things (see, already forgetting what they were).

From there I started down the road, and decided I would check a couple other grocery chains about the Boston creme pies for the Riders dinner. I ended up at Safeway (where I "read on the internet" they have it all the time) nothing was out on display. I asked, and they only make them if ordered. I ordered two for next Thursday (maybe). Of course, I walked around this store as well, because I was looking to see if they had the pickle salsa like my regular grocery. They didn't, but I found some spicy hot dill chips for a good price. Then had to check hot sauces (I'm on my last bottle). I grabbed a couple to try. And since I passed them, a jar of pepperoncinis ended up in a bag, too. Plus two bags of tortilla chips (already had them in hand when I found no pickle salsa).

Had the House and Entertainment meetings tonight. Went home after. Did a 'create your own' for dinner. Took an edible, but I have not felt any effects from it at all tonight. Bad piece? Doesn't mix/react with certain ingested foods/drinks? I dunno....
