GOT UP REALLY EARLY TO TAKE A SHOWER and get ready for the day. A busy day ahead. I was willing to go. Drove over to Manhattan for labs and Prevnar shot. Arrived early to the DOCtor's office and while waiting did some office work in the car. My MOBILE OFFICE or office on wheels. Wrote out a medical bill and Mortgage payment.
As we waited in the lobby, we started talking about the very first piece of furniture we bought. It was a solid wood chest for $80.oo. Which was a lot of money for two newly weds that had very little income.
I said it was less money than what I just paid on the medical bill today. $96.93. My goodness times have changed. I'd rather buy a piece of furniture than always be paying medical bills. Medicare did not pay the entire amount for my WELCOME TO MEDICARE PHYSICAL. Well, how do you do.
Hubby and I both had labs and the technician was very good at her job. Then we waited for the shot nurse to call our names. After getting the Prevnar shot, I started getting tired. I asked if the nurse would weigh me. Of course.
I was weighed and thrilled that I had lost weight! Still have a long ways to go. It's an adventure and a journey. Not a sprint, but a marathon which I need to enjoy the journey. Now to wait for the A1c results.
Afterwards we picked up a Protein Box from Starbucks, paid our mortgage payment, ate at the Park and dropped off a load at Goodwill. By this time I needed a bathroom break. I was looking at the goods on my way toward the bathroom only to have Hubby tell me that the bathroom was locked and there was a line.
OUCH. Quickly I browsed the goods and made a quick decision to purchase 4 white square Better Homes and Gardens plates that will coordinate with my every day white dishes and a oil painting that we will gesso over the canvas and oil paint something else on it. A very economically way to get a canvas. I really don't need more dishes at this time, but I have had a crush on square dishes for a while now and here they were. Only 99 cents a plate. We had a discount coupon with us. Saved us money.
We drove HOME and that's when I fell asleep in my chair. I took a LONG nap. Too tired for even lunch. Hubby went ahead and went to the COTTAGE and I slept. Way too tired to go anymore. He proceeded to plow up more of the flowerbeds. When he came HOME, he had had a very productive day.
I told him I was hungry for Fried Chicken and he looked up a place at Lake Wabaunsee that just so happened to be having Fried Chicken on Wednesday. We were going that direction to pick up Irises from a lady at Lake Wabaunsee.
The drive over was gorgeous with gentle rolling hills and winding roads. Thought the countryside was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. These pictures do not do the scenery justice.
By the time we left her house, Wild Olives had 3 chicken wings left so it was salad for me with chicken pieces.
It was still very good and I was glad we ate supper out. Will have to return earlier on a Wednesday for fried chicken.
The drive around the Lake was lovely. I could live there easily. It was very relaxing to hear the birds singing in the trees and catch glimpse's of the lake.
I didn't work at the Cottage on Wednesday. Better luck on Thursday. I hope to be more energetic in the cool of the day. The boxes of books are waiting just for me to handle them.
I can handle this,
