Over the next few weeks me and my wife, Cherub, will be going to a resort in Scottsdale, lately I've been going shopping at jack in the box for burgers, joanns so that Cherub can make a bunch of sewn and crafted stuffed animals and blankets. She is really good at that! She will be selling the hand crafted stuffed animals for $80. She doesn't have a price set yet for her blankets, but I'm sure it will be a reasonable one.
Later today I'll be going to my grandpa's house to ask if I can borrow the car tomorrow. We will use it for grocery shopping and maybe a movie! :-). I also owe him a little money, so it'll be good to get that to him.
Right now I'm at an appointment with my doctors. They say my blood pressure is a little too high for how old I am. I need to get an at-home blood pressure cuff. That way I can do my own blood pressure monitoring. After that I can chart how well or bad my pressure is over time.
There are lots of good ways to get around in the city of Phoenix and the metro area in general. We have a phenomenal bus system that runs up and down the grid of streets. Phoenix and the metro area have streets in a East, West, North and South grid. The street almost perfectly run perpendicular to each other. That makes it really easy to get around. There is a bus for almost every street on that grid! In Tempe, they go a step further and provide a free ride service called Orbit. It's pretty good, and it goes to neighborhoods where the buses don't go. They are little busses with blue paint jobs on the outside. There are nine Orbit Busses and they are named after the 8 plus 1 planets in the Solar System. The plus one is Pluto. Pluto is now a dwarf planet, and not considered a regular planet any longer.
That's all I have to say today...
