So hey everybody, sorry to make this longer than the usual posts. Having a number of issues.
First, the other day when my niece was doing her play, I ran desperately all over town trying to find a memory card for my video camera so she could just take the footage with her, but I couldn't so we shot it on tape. My niece has suggested putting the footage on Google Drive, which I downloaded but have not tried to use yet. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I would welcome them. I can burn a DVD and mail it but would rather not--it is such an ordeal!
Anyhow, after I went to every store which might have memory cards I went to the last three just to say I'd been to them all. I ran into this guy I knew from college (WWCC) who had then been in town a month. No idea why as so far as I know he is not from here and has not been here before. I was in a tearing hurry but he talked my ear off...I could hardly escape. He's in a small apartment somewhere in the vicinity of the Shell station which he hates and wants a better one. I named Knobloch as being the best, don't know if he's tried them.
So anyhow I've been sidelined with back issues for a week. The only reason I was off my bed of pain today is I become too bored with lying around and desperately needed items at the store. Unfortunately what should happen but that I run into this guy again. He was a little weird in school and if anything is now moreso. Anyhow he pestered me for my phone number. I didn't want to give it to him but finally spelled my last name and told him I was in the book hoping he'd forget it. Ten minutes later he came up claiming to have forgotten my last name and pestered me into writing down it and my phone number. He liked me in school because frankly he was so paranoid he thought almost everyone was out to get him and apparently I didn't put out any "out to get him" vibes...that's it...not good friends.
So I told him truthfully I knew of a place coming vacant but wouldn't recommend to anyone. The tenant is moving only due to ongoing incompetence and general jerkiness on the part of the landlord. The latest is he caused the basement to flood wrecking a lot of the tenants' property. I am happy for the tenant as they've always hated the place, but sorry to lose a good neighbor. So if anyone knows anyplace good in town, please let me know so I can tell my friend. As for other places, do not have to be too good but better than the worst, please also tell me so in case God forbid this other guy calls I can let him know. In both cases they should NOT BE near my home! My friend says she doesn't want to be in this part of town, and as for the other guy, I feel the further off the better.
As for the back pain, I have seen the chiropractor, am on three painkillers and ice packs, have two pain relief devices ordered and a doctor appointment Monday, but welcome suggestions, thanks.
