My chair broke!!!

Sitting at the computer last night. It's one of those low end 'task chairs' that I got at Walmart. The adjustment knob that holds the back on, the bolt just snapped clean off. Dangit! (Already posted this on Facebook if it sounds repetitive.)
Won't have money to get a new one for at least a few weeks. The disability still hasn't come through, looks like it will be on my card on the 10th, judging from the paper that they sent me. That's when the quarter ends so hoping that's a full check since my disability started on the 22nd. So rent is going to be late and, hopefully, won't be short.
Got some aches and pains yesterday and today from the Nulasta shot. Didn't realize that's what it was since I've had this kind of achiness for a while. Thought it as just 'old age' creeping up on me. Took some Tylenol and it helped at least, then took a vicodin to take the edge off when I went to bed.
It's not that it's like serious flu symptom achiness, just a crick here, a 'poing' there..my ankle hurts that sort of stuff. Just enough to make me uncomfortable and want to stretch to try and ease some of it.
The weather is being wonderful lately too, low 70's and clear so what did I do yesterday to take a break?  Went for a twenty minute walk on one of the canyon trails...that had no trees to shade much. Reasoning is I knew that my favorite park trail was going to be crowded being a Saturday. Well, combined with the aches from the shot, I came home took to Tylenol and laid down for a nap. Hour and a half nap that I woke up and wanted a chili dog from Weinerschnitzel. I had a coupon for BOGO (Buy one get one) free and drove down the hill and got them. With onion and cheese added of course. Still have one left over for today's lunch. Chili dogs keep well like that, for at least the next day.
I've got another coupon for the same deal at Cold Stone Ice cream...think I might convince Katie to go with me today and have that.
Right now I think it's time for first dose of Tylenol and some breakfast. My calves haven't been cramping as much since I started drinking a couple of glasses of orange juice in the morning. Running low on that though, looking into other foods too that have higher potassium other than bananas, which includes potatoes. Yay!

Well, not much in the quotation department again but here's one gem:

"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Steven Wright

Um, that's what I'm paying a storage fee for and I don't have everything there!
