I did some grocery shopping at Publix this morning after swimming, coffee, and a massage. That's a really nice store, with great staff - lots of good store brands. I would like to try to go there maybe 1-2 times a month. This time, particularly, I was going for some meat. They were having a sale on a standing rib roast for $6.49/pound (a little less than half the usual price), and they'll cut it up into steaks of any thickness you want. So they can be individually wrapped and frozen - and you get the bones for soup, too. It's quite a bargain. I also got a pork loin to fix for dinner Sunday night when the folks are here.

Our friend, Carol, who fell and fractured her L1 vertebra, has had things moved up a bit, due to the amount of pain she's having. She had an MRI tonight, and is scheduled to have surgery on New Year's Day morning. The plan is to inject cement/epoxy/whatever into the cracks to stabilize the vertebra and get the pressure off the spinal column. She manages well as long as she gets her pain meds on time, but she‘s surely ready for surgery and some relief. A tough time for them.
