Inside the Little Plastic Castle

MyGuy, who is the King of Thrifting, escorts me to a Savers, and demonstrates his magic skills by locating two heavy cotton jackets, a cashmere/cotton scarf, a merino wool scarf, an excellent sunhat in just the shape I’ve been seeking, and a pair of just-broken-in but not-worn Sanita¹ clogs in my size. Under $50 for the lot.

5 Monday: Joyful Views

Swim at Highland Pool. Still friendly people, and the water’s warmer.

I stopped by Walmart for bandages and I left my wallet behind at the checkout desk. It’s gone forever. The good news is I didn’t lose my credit card, there wasn’t much cash in it, and the rest is relatively easy to recreate.

6 Tuesday More Mercantilism

I went bead-shopping with my walker

• one expensive place going out of business, and it deserves to.
• one fabulous place–The Beaded IRIS–has a lovely collection of vintage beads as well as lots of JN seeds.
• amazing food at An Hy Quan⁴, an innovative vegan/vegetarian place. Huge portions, low prices, great service, novel tastes.

7 Wednesday

• Swam at Highland. I’m “recognized” for the second time by someone who’s confused me with another wheelchair user.
• Lazing around reading & eating.

8 Thursday

• Got a foldable straw sunhat that stays on in 10mph breezes without a cord.
• We visited the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center for almost 2 hours (with my walker) and it was worth the crash the next day.
