1207am yay! Finally going to bed. Canned 7 qt jars green beans with help of family. I’m exhausted. Whole body throbbing from head to toe. Took night meds & three Tylenol. Using Dr Teal’s sleep lotion. Smells good. Center of chest hurting. Tailbone feels bruised. Low back intense pain.
324 encountered some firsts on our excursion. Drove thru random car search. Entire Interstate traffic made to drive thru truck weigh station. Thankfully we weren’t stopped.
Arrived at the hotel. We were a bit skeptical of neighborhood. Tried to check in but refused service because we’re from Alabama & Alabama is a Covid19 hotspot right now. I live there and didn’t even know it. Frustrating!!
1000 ended up finding hotel near Point Clear, AL. Ate dinner at a beautiful Italian Restaurant named Gambino’s. Learned I don’t like prime rib. We switched plates. I ended up with tour of Italy. Loved the service and all the workers were so friendly and happy that we chose to eat there. Definitely will return.

Attempted to go to Eastern Shore shopping centre but most of the stores are closed. Went inside Dillards. All the patterns and shapes and turns gave me a bad headache. No wonder I don’t go shopping much anymore. It hurts my brain.
Decided to head back home. Have bulletins and canning to do. I’m already tired and ready for a nap. Stopped for lunch. Met couple people we know. Nice chat. Stopped at DG for canning lids.
1136 finally finished canning for the day. Family helped. 22 pint/quart jars canned. Still have more to go. Will have to wait til Monday but least we got beans done.
I’m beyond exhausted and hurting horribly from head to toe. Probably won’t take long to ddoze off.
