SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BLOW INTO TOWN LATE TONIGHT. At midnight it may be snowing around here. Shall see and I'm alright with it. Another deep snow before SPRING would be gift to me as I could stay inside and sip HOT CHOCOLATE.

VALENTINES with my sweetheart was pleasant and we did dine at HOME on spaghetti with meatballs. All ORGANIC with a large vegetable salad and garlic toast. Tea to drink. Cheesecake and chocolates for dessert. I will counter balance the calories for the next three days with lots of vegetables.
Breakfast this morning was scrambled soy-free eggs, one slice of buttered toast and green grapes. H2o and Hot tea. An early supper of a large vegetable salad without croutons and little dressing will take place. NO CANDIES. Maybe some more fruit like an apple. Trying to eat no later than 7 P.M. I don't always succeed as I tend to get the munchies and out of HABIT, I eat Popcorn. Is Popcorn good for you? Low in calories with fiber so I'd say yes, it's good for me.
Right at the moment, I am sipping Pomegranate Tea with some lemon squeezed into it. This morning has been set aside to research my old GYNE medical records before I journey over to TOPEKA later this month to the new GYNECOLOGIST. I will be relieved when the day comes that know if I have uterine cancer. Not that I'd have it, but the fact that I would finally know. If it's not cancer, it will be a bigger relief. Finding out what to do next will have to take place.
Hence, I am reviewing the records I have so I can ask this new doctor questions. I am a tad bit aggravated that my GYNE of over 20 years did not inform me about PCOS, but mentioned it in the notes. Why he never brought this up I don't know. After my last physical with him in December when I asked if my sex hormones would be checked, he said no. He said my regular doctor could check them. MY THOUGHTS:: Excuse me, but you're my GYNECOLOGIST. My visit today is with my GYNE, not my regular doctor.
If a person does not have copies of their medical records with the doctor's comments, how is the patient suppose to know about certain things pertaining to their health? I THINK IT's A SUPER GOOD IDEA TO REQUEST ALL THE MEDICAL RECORDS BEFORE THEY ARE LOST, MISPLACED OR TRASHED. After so many years, I believe records can be pitched. I think it's like 10 years after not being a patient any longer or when a doctor stops practicing medicine that records are done away with.
RECALL may not be as clear as when younger so notes will come in very handy with recall.
Researching things on the computer in the A.M. seems to fit my schedule. When Hubby was employed, I seemed to research in the mornings and do chores in the afternoon. It's convenient to have a printer on hand. The piles of paper I have printed out is laughable. I seem to like printing out pages upon pages of info pertaining to different subject matters. If I had kept track of the hours I have spent researching, I might have a degree in something. I may return to college classes via computer/online after we get settled.
Hubby has gone to MENARDS to get a new Kitchen faucet for the COTTAGE. He has finished the plumbing under the house and needs a new faucet for the Kitchen sink. The one that was there isn't working correctly. We'll go with a cheaper one to use until we figure out what type of sink we will remodel with later, but for now a cheaper faucet is just fine. For now, we can run water from the Kitchen sink so I can wash some dishes that are already over there. I can now do some laundry at the COTTAGE. With the water having been turned off I could use the clothing dryer, but no running water.
When I go over to work I can take a load or two of laundry to wash and dry while I'm working on other things pertaining to HOME LIFE. The little machine I have at the main house can be turned loose of in the SPRING. It is wonderful to have a miniature washing machine, but it is a small hassle hooking it up to the sink each time. Easier than washing clothes down by the river. I shouldn't complain should I?
We purchased the miniature machine during the CO VID pandemic so I didn't have to go to the COTTAGE to do laundry or go to the laundry-mat. It was delivered to our front door! Our washer and dryer have never been in this main house as the utilities are in the basement. Going up and down the stairs wasn't going to happen. In the end, it will all work out as I will return to using the COTTAGE machines.
THIS AFTERNOON, I will be bringing my boxed dolls downstairs to group in the KITCHEN before loading them in the car to haul to the COTTAGE. Shall see how far I get. I may load them up in the car and head over to the COTTAGE?
We have been dog sitting this past week our GRAND DOGGIE. Her name is DOTY. She loves my HUSBAND as he takes her to the lumberyard with him and gets to ride in a car/cart. She has been mostly a indoor pet that stays home except to go to the vet so LIFE's an adventure for her when we have her. When we went on our out of town DATE this past week-end, we took her inside BOMGAARS in Marysville. She loved it as she was given doggy treats by the help. BOMGAARS is where I bought my hunny a pair of ARIAT HOUSE SLIPPERS. Such a nice store.
She loves to be petted and scratched on her neck and back. She'll be returning to her family later this week and I think we'll miss her. I have been talking about getting a puppy after we get settled in our COTTAGE. Hubby finally admitted that we should probably get a puppy. He loves animals, but won't admit it. ha.
BACK TO RESEARCHING and tending to my DOLLS. Tis really cold out today so I will more than likely stay HOME tending to packing. Yesterday, I did get the CHRISTMAS WREATHS taken to the shed and rearranged some boxes inside the COTTAGE so there will be room to stack the doll boxes when I get to that point. The floor space is cramped right now and in order to forge ahead moving things in, I have to rearrange boxes and furniture. I'm getting my exercise.
Off I go. Perhaps at the end of the day, I will have accomplished somethings and feel good about it.
