being able to eat a healthier diet then i can currently afford, and a nice big refrigerator to keep leftovers and perishable ingredients. will always fantacize about owning a piece of land and the off grid life, but i think for what remains of my life that will just have to wait for some other one. what is simple and easy? maybe visiting places that i like. being easier to do so on the spur of the moment. like non-reservation outer regional transit to neighboring towns smaller and larger alike. maybe a phone to access the service i've been paying for all this time without one.
Next Summer when (hopefully) I will be able to travel abroad without the hindrance of Covid restrictions or tests and enjoy the scenery, customs and food of the place I go to.
to feel safe enough (from this covid thing) to get out of the house more often, to get laundry done among other things that have languished for the past couple of years, and just go for random little rides and walks to random odd places, or even libraries, different stores even then i usually shop at, discover odd things that may have changed or are changing. i don't think i'll be doing any international travelling, but i would like to travel interstate to get to a train store like railroad hobbies in roseville and an affordable computer store like fry's if they still exist. also check out if there are places i can afford to live someplace that has one or the other or both.
A doctor with a brain, many years ago I had a bad accident and my left kneecap was shattered, they said I'd get trouble with it in later years and sure enough I do, lately its been like constant toothache in both knees, putting more weight on one to compensate for the other. Anyway I had an X-ray done on Friday and today I got a letter from the gp, apparently both my knees are in excellent condition and theres absolutely NO sign of any injury or damage to either of them. So, this can only mean one of four possible outcomes, 1, the fractured kneecap has miraculously made itself perfect, 2, the machine is knackered, 3, the radiographer is an idiot and doesnt know what he's doing, or 4, they're looking at the wrong X-RAY. Answers on a postcard please.
There is a 5th possibility !!! - Given the state of the NHS waiting lists, your GP is trying to fob you off with a 'no problem' advice.
