     Today, I had no clients, but I was a client. I had an appointment with my chiropractor. I left early and stopped at Farm & Garden to buy more local honey. I'd transferred the last of the honey from my quart jar to the small jar I keep on the counter. I use two teaspoons of local honey in my nightly drink. If my lime tree is producing, it's limeade. If it's not, I use lemons from Costco.

   When I pick up two quarts of honey at Farm and Garden, I drop the empty bottles off for reuse. Two people were ahead of me in line. I noticed a few three-ounce-sized bottles on the counter, but nothing larger. I said, "Excuse me," and interrupted to ask if they were out of the larger bottles. Yes. They were expecting another delivery within a few days. I left the empties and headed to my appointment.

   As usual, the chiropractor was running late. She does good work, but her informality can be annoying. She had already told me that her ex-husband and the father of her only child lived with her. Today, I learned he hated her. Now, why would you have someone who hated you live with you? 

   Her current husband asked her son why his father hated his mother so much. She didn't say if her son had an answer, but she answered it. She is a joyful person; her ex-husband is walking negativity. She is a scatterbrain. I'll attest to that. I'm not a rigid thinker, but her lack of focus gets on my nerves. She'll launch into a conversation, showing me something she ordered on Amazon. I will have to push her to get to work. I leave several hours open for this appointment. I like her work, and she takes my insurance- a winning combination.

   I stopped at Long's to pick up more Hersey's Milk chocolate nuggets with whole almonds. I had a coupon. It was 40% off but only for one item. I also picked up a new tube of athlete's foot cream. That was the most expensive and received the discount.

  I was going to go to Costco on my way home but was too tired. I went home directly and then directly to my couch for a nap. The chiropractic work knocked me out.
