Shopping Finished

My printer drum button lit up, something I was expecting, so I went online and ordered a new toner drum from Office Max/Office Depot. With Aldi in the same mall as Office Max, I picked up the new drum and went over there for the tuna and lime juice, which I almost didn't find, then went over to Wal-Mart for the spaghetti squash, fish, and egg plant. My list is now complete save the water, which at the moment I have plenty of and will get with the renewal of my food share at the beginning of the month, when I'll also need potatoes and bananas, I'm sure.
I also used the mobile cart at Wal-Mart as my back is done for the day. I'm going to hunt down my Ibuprofen and then spend the rest of the day on the computer, working notifications, visiting your posts, or working on a book. If the pain in my back gets too bad, I'll hit my recliner and the massage pad.
I did make it to the pool this morning and I did work out in the fitness center on the elliptical for another 7 minutes. So, I'm doing good.
The only thing coming out of my debit card now will be gas for the car, and right now, that's at more than half a tank, so I'm good for another week for that.
Just a head's up for the weekend. I will be absent for most of it. Green Bay is hosting a huge author event called Untitled Town. I'll post the link for it. Tomorrow I'm going to see R.L. Stine at the Weidner Center here, and then I have three venues I'm going to on both Saturday and Sunday. Lots of authors will be here, with lots of workshops to take advantage of. All the venues are free, but I do need a ticket, already printed out for the R.L. Stine event tomorrow night. I was supposed to be part of a panel for our Writer's Guild, but that panel is happening on Sunday morning, and I won't be able to do it as I'll be in church.
Sometime this weekend, I also need to do laundry. I contacted my son via FB and asked about going over after the last event on Saturday that I'm signed up for.
The events I'm attending are:
An Evening with R.L. Stine 7-8 pm Friday
Building Your Dreams, Writing With Purpose 10-11 am Saturday
Publishing talk: Marketing Yourself as a Writer 12-1:15 Saturday
I Can't Even Right Now - Dealing with Writer's Block 2-3:15 Saturday
Editor's Panel: Why We Publish What We Publish and How to Get Started 12-1:15 pm Sunday
Writing Beginnings, Middles, Ends 2-3:15 pm Sunday
Publishing Talk: Building Your Writer Brand Through Social Media
Seven events that look to be very informative and helpful for me. So, you can see I won't be here most of Saturday and Sunday.
How is your day going? Anything interesting?
UntitledTown is an annual book and author festival in Green Bay, Wisconsin that promotes all aspects of book culture.

I am exhausted just reading what you did. I am wondering what you did with your eggplant.

@MsBooklover No, marinara has sugar in it and lots of salt.

I'm glad you got the rest of the food you wanted, and can't wait to hear about the weekend.
Hope the back pain eases up.

Have a wonderful time!
Have you tried biofreeze for your back? It comes in a tube or roll on, I like the roll on best. This stuff is wonderful! You only feel it for a couple minutes and then all the pain disappears. I used to only be able to get it at the chirpractors office not its at Walmart, around $12 and its worth it.
Ibuprofen is really, extremely bad on the kidneys.

I hadn't heard of biofreeze. I'll have to look for it. Ibuprofen is the only thing that works for me. I don't take it often anymore. With my diet and eating right I no longer have any headaches, such as I had every day.

It depends on how often I print, but at least a year. I think the last drum lasted me a couple years.

Sounds like a very active morning for you so I'm not surprised your back is complaining.
Wow enjoy your weekend. Sounds like fun!

I think the Ibuprofen is finally working. Thank you. It should be a lot of fun. It's the second year in a row for it, and they are planning on making it annual. This year's event is bigger than last year's.
