Daughter and I went to the parade last night and had fun.
Then we tried going to the River of Lights. So, parking lot was filled up. We went ahead and drove to the zoo, parked there to take the shuttle. They had that so poorly planned that we had to wait nearly an hour for a bus. By the time we got on the bus and arrived at the River of Lights, it was 7:52. The driver announced the last shuttle back leaves at 9:45. The River of Lights itself closes at 9:30. We started to go ahead and go in. Then it turned out I was wrong about the season pass including the River of Lights. It was not worth the time and money to stand in line, pay for passes, then have to basically run to see anything and get back to the bus stop and not have to walk all the way to the zoo.
This city has the absolute worst planning of any place I have ever seen in my life.
On the bus, we passed by Tingley Beach, one block away from the zoo. That parking lot is closed and locked at night.
It also struck me they could use the train which runs through the entire Biopark, all the way from the Botanic Garden to the zoo but instead use buses?
So, we made a different plan of action. Going to go to the Botanic Garden early in the afternoon. Maybe around 3 or 3:30. Take a walk around Old Town. I'll buy tickets online the day before. Then go back around 5:30 or 6. Take our time at the River of Lights, then go see the Bugg Lights afterward.
I'm still feeling like garbage. Managed to gain 1 lb. Took about 8000 calories to do so. After dropping daughter off this evening, I went to the store. Unbelievably, they were sold out of potted meat. Of all the damn things to be sold out of! As soon as I decide this would be a good option for gaining weight! Really?!
Oh, well. I bought a bunch of cans of vienna sausage and some sausage hash. Yesterday I also got a can of corned beef hash.
One problem gaining weight is if I eat too much it stresses my intestines enough to cause discomfort and lethargy for a while. One reason it's best if I eat shortly before bed.
I'm gaining tolerance for wearing the lower dentures. But they don;t stay in place all that well. So I picked up some "super hold" adhesive. I know they'll stay in place better later but I'm still avoiding adhesive in places where tooth sockets haven't filled in tissue yet. The sockets are almost closed up but not completely yet. Using adhesive in those spots could cause problems. At least I can wear them while eating and as long as they stay in place. And having the uppers in place make a big difference in my appearance.
Tried the "super hold" adhesive a few minutes ago, after writing the above. Definitely feels stronger than the other. Should be strong enough to hold for meals, which is when the other one always lets loose. Big question now is how easily it is to remove from my mouth at night.
If I ever win the lottery one of the first things I'll do is get permanent dentures.
