I went to town today for the first time in several weeks. I ran errands and did some shopping which, honestly, has been super difficult and painful for the last 9 months to a year. I had to put my cane in my car and at one point it got so bad I ordered a walker. Normally, if I go out, I need to not be out any longer than a couple of hours and if it is hot outside that is down considerably.

Today was a beautiful day in the low 70s and I thought I could get a little bit more done than usual. It turns out that I got a lot more than I expected. I was actually able to go to 8 different stores, I spent over 6 hours out which has been unheard of and when I got home I wasn’t ready to just crash and burn for the rest of the night.

I picked up some new shirts from Roses – super cheap – home were $1.99 and the rest were $4.99.

Then I went to Big Lots to look for a new bed. This will be the first time in my entire life that I am purchasing a brand new. I would love your opinion on this. I have two headboard options that I’m looking at. Which one do you like?

Since I was doing so well I decided to tempt fate and eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Normally I have to leave something like that until the end of the day because eating out created such a problem with my BP and breathing that I couldn’t do anything except go home directly after that.

Today I made sure that I customized my order to fit what I needed both histamine and oxalate wise and I had NO reaction. I was able to eat lunch in the middle of the day and continue to run errands afterwards which I haven’t been able to do in years.

I really think I’m on to something here…
