Breaking "eat, sleep, poop"

Got alot done yesterday.  I think I got a parking ticket on the car I park on the street.  I don't know why.  There's no date, citation number, not even my license number.  Someone could have taken it off their car and put it on mine.  I've got to find the pink slip so I can donate it because it's a pain in the a$$ to sell it.

Tried to get stuff done today but my blood pressure dropped at Walmart after too much walking.  I sat down in the pharmacy area...the only area with chairs.  When I felt better, I went to check out.  Got dizzy while paying, then I couldn't read the screen.  Next thing I know, I was sitting on the floor.  I was done checking out.  They brought me a chair.  I sat until I felt okay to walk to the car, someone walked with me & helped me put the shopping bag into the car for me.  I couldn't lift it.  Everyone was so nice, even the guy behind me.  He helped me off the floor.

Ditching school

I liked school and I didn't have anything better to do.  But I always wondered what kids did all day who ditched school if they weren't doing drugs.  I get it, they didn't like being told what to do, the teaching system didn't match how they learned, maybe they were bullied, etc.  But what did they do with their time?  I never understood that.  These days they have phones & tablets (if they don't want to carry a laptop) to pass their time playing games.  

One month in, I'm finding retirement lonely.  I expected that.  My social life was at work.  Dialysis days are slept away after treatment.  I knew that would happen, but my dialysis schedule is changing.  I need to follow my retirement plan: tai chi and making art.  Right now I'm like a newborn.  All I seem to do is eat, sleep, and poop.
