Scott and I are looking at the logistics of celebrating our anniversary and realizing that we should have done so last weekend. I can't eat out for dinner unless I go for something like pancakes, and Scott and Cordelia will be going on a trip this coming weekend and so not be available for lunch either day. Basically, the first day we could manage going out for lunch together is the 6th of July.

I had a PT appointment yesterday. I walked in the building for about half an hour before and for about fifteen minutes after, but I hadn't managed to pack myself a lunch, so I didn't stay out nearly as long as I would have otherwise. I considered buying lunch but really didn't want to spend the money.

Scott's father will be coming down tomorrow to do some yard work. Cordelia and I will have to pay attention to make sure he doesn't overdo. He's apt to do the thing that I do in terms of keeping going 'just a little longer' because of knowing that we can't start up again later.

We stopped at Plum Market on Sunday so that I could look at their CBD products. They only carry one brand of edibles-- Gold Formula-- and they're kind of horrifyingly expensive for something that I want to try but might not be able to go on with. The liquid stuff is flavored with several things I can't have, so I'm looking at gummies and capsules. One type of capsule had something in it that I can't have (I don't recall what). The other was $90 for 60 or $22 for 10. These contain olive oil which is iffy for me.

I got the box with 10 capsules to see if I can take one without reflux. I took one this morning. I suspect that my current digestive discomfort has more to do with anxiety than with having taken the capsule, but I'll try again either tomorrow or Thursday.

I also got some gummies that have half as much CBD as the capsules. They taste terrible (I tried one Sunday and one yesterday) but contain nothing that gives me problems. I didn't notice the gummies having an impact on my pain levels or general anxiety. I think the lotion may end up being my best option in terms the intersection between price and effectiveness.

I will also look to see what other stores in the area have started carrying CBD products. I've heard that Kroger is going to.

Last night, I got an email from the local science and nature center (where Cordelia attended camp for years) saying that they've relocated this summer's camp programs to a different site because soil samples sent in from where they were planning to put up a play structure showed chemical/heavy metal contamination. They're fencing off parts of the place and may close the park entirely, depending on the results of wider testing.

Apparently the land once housed a petrochemical lab. That was long gone when we moved here in the 90s, so I hadn't realized. The owner donated the land (it's named after him), and one of the main buildings was constructed in the same footprint as the lab.

I had heard about the findings at the Leslie Science Center, but not that it had once been a petrochemical lab. Wow.
