Just This And That

 I have a hard time thinking of catchy titles for my posts! I know what I want to write, but thinking of a title is hard. That's why this post is Just This And That!

Yesterday, I had to buy allergy medicine. I asked David, but he wasn't sure which one I use. I could have looked online and sent him a photo, but I decided to go out! Sounds so simple, just a 5-minute drive to the drug store, get the medicine, and be home to make lunch!

I got distracted! 

March and April are moving months.  Some companies still move staff from place to place every year or so. This means packing up everything and moving. As I know from experience moving time is a great chance to get rid of things that aren't used or not needed.  People buy furniture that fits in one house but maybe not right for the next place.  If stuff is old, then you have to pay to have it taken to the trash place, but if it's still in good shape, then recyle shops will take it. You might even get a bit of money!

So this time of year recyle shops are full. 

On the way to the drug store is a big recyle shop, I'm still looking for good storage for the kitchen. David and I went in to have a look round, there were some nice things but nothing that would fit in my kitchen. David suggested going to another shop, again lots of nice things but not what I wanted!

We then realised that it was almost midday! And I sill hadn't bought the allergy medicine. Two hours of just wandering around!  

We went to a store that sells groceries as well as medicine, we needed a few things.  Managed to get what we needed, by that time I was really dizzy. I hadn't eaten since about 6am, I think my blood sugar dropped very low. I left David to pay and went to the car!

One thing that made me sad was that there were no cherry blossoms. I thought they had all been blown down by the awful storm we had on Wednesday and Thursday. Today we went shopping in the opposite direction, into the countryside. There were a lot of cherry blossoms! I was happy to see them.

Lots of lovely cherry blossoms

But at the same time, the tree pollen is very bad.

Pollen from the trees

What looks like smoke is actually pollen. No wonder I'm sneezing and my eyes are burning!!
