« Checks Are In The Mail! | Discount Store Blues: Buying A Laptop »


Welcome back!

Before the world gets to be too crazy, take some time to relax. Enjoy yourself for a while. Make peace of mind your personal goal for the day. People who do that live longer, for one thing. For another, the stress level goes through the floor when you take the time to simply relax. I love the idea.

That reminds me of something. Last year, my Mom was needing to fill a prescription in a town over 60 miles from home. We went into their nationally known drug store, walked all the way to the back of the store. Quite a trip for someone who has problems walking that far like both Mom and I did. After putting in the order, we were told that it would be a few minutes. Uh huh, we thought. It’s going to take a while. Of course, we had been used to a local discount store that has a pharmacy that takes half of forever to fill a prescription even if they didn’t have any to do.

There were some chairs along the wall so we both sat down, talking, not looking at the chair right next to us. When I finally noticed the thing, it surprised me because I had never seen one like it before. You could sit in it and relax for free. I say “for free” because it was a massage chair. Little rollers went up and down the back and made things so happy, happy I did not want to get up. Not long after I got a turn (Mom did NOT want to give up the chair), they called her name for her prescriptions. I still did not want to get up. Of course, I was the driver so when Mom wanted to leave, we left. I wish I had that chair at home right now!!! They could always just give me my meals there, ya know.
