This past weekend I went and stayed with a very dear friend down in Galveston and it was so much fun! Her new place is right around the Strand and it's so pretty, plus it was great to go around without worrying about parking. It *was,* however, my first time going around down there with a rollator and I think at one point I said "wow, I don't think I ever realized how many different textures the sidewalks are!" I'm pretty sure most of the buildings are on the historic register and so probably grandfathered into not having to worry about accessibility, but I think I did okay and my sweet friend helped me out a ton. There was only one store I wanted to go into but couldn't navigate the stairs- for the most part I was able to go up and down the stairs backwards with the rollator but there was a crystal store where the stairs were just too steep. But the Thai place we love is perfectly accessible! All in all a very good weekend. And the cats did just fine, my parents checked on them on Saturday, but I'm pretty sure they're taking turns laying on me so I can never leave again, and Candy might be plotting how to sew herself to my skin.
I'm going into town tomorrow to pick up meds, packages, and vote! I'm determined to stay ontop of when voting dates are. At some point ?maybe tomorrow? I'm also gonna go check out the new H.E.B- for anyone who doesn't have one near them it's a grocery store chain but it's *really* nice, and they finally put one in about 45 minutes away from me, so I'm excited! 45 minutes isn't bad for around here.
Just testing to see if this looks okay. I decided to do another little thing for a diary- I keep wanting to mention things that aren't related to disability stuff or crafting/hobby stuff. Gonna look through all the dividers I have saved to find a good one for here.
