HELLO DARLIN'

Hello out there in blogland.  Howdy from my Kansas corner of the world.  Late night thunder storm blew in as I was staying up late playing on the computer.  The wind was fierce.  The storm window in the bathroom did not stop the wind from blowing inside.  I said a serious prayer and the LORD heard me.  The wind stopped and I went to sleep.  Slept like a babee after I fell asleep.  

Plans for the day.  I am slowing down.  Getting rested back up.  Spent some time with my retired Husband this morning.  Four and a half years have passed since he retired.  It does not register that this much time has passed.  

I went down memory lane looking at old posts of mine.  Life moves forward and I must do the same.  

Clearing off the dining room table again as it seems to be a catch-all.  Just gotta do this.  

I have a plan.  Start in the Living room and clear the junk out, vacuum and dust.  Move into the Dining room and do the same.  Next the Utility room and Kitchen.  Then the small pink bedroom.  After this is done, then the mammoth mess in the front Bedroom will be tackled.  The garage and the storage units.  Sounds like a good plan for my SUMMER.  

Oh my...the medical appointments are getting scheduled on my 'lil 'ole calendar.  The month of July is speckled with appointments.  Shucks.

I shredded years of our paper receipts, statements, old checks.  Wished I had kept them as it seems this paperless society is full of flaws depending on relying on the IN THE CLOUD proof of activity.  sigh.

Phone calls came in from the medical personnel to inform us of this and that.  Hubby had an actual Tuesday medical appointment with our doc about the stress test he took last week. Our doctor has not received the report from the ones who did the medical appointment.  Strike three you're out.

Hubs received a phone call from them saying there was no evidence of heart issues and yet our doc has not received the report.  So who actually telephoned my hubby?  He phoned the ones who did the stress test asking for a copy of the results.  He has to fill out a release form. The nice lady said she'd send it via email.  uh huh.  Shall see about that.  

I'm a firm believer that our records need to be in order.

That phone call came in about the results of the foot MRI.  He'll have to return to the foot specialist so the MRI is explained to him and probably get a shot to help reduce inflammation.  I researched on the internet and came up with the term tarsal tunnel syndrome.  It sounds like the culprit.  Why the docs have not used this term, I know not.

After two weeks of not hearing anything about the results of my ECHOCARDIOGRAM, I reached out to them via health portal also phone to inform them I hadn't heard anything.  They checked up on it to let me know something.  I requested a copy of the report 11 days ago.  Nothing.  I entered another health portal message and I do not think it went through.  hum.

When he checked to find out the status of our new car tag that would be mailed to us, the car tag was mailed to Topeka and just stayed there.  A new tag had to be ordered.  Another snag.  Waiting.  

Mess-up on Hubby's heart stress test and results.  On the day of the actual test where he was to walk on the treadmill, the treadmill  messed up and they proceeded to do the test via chemically.  Hubby said this was painful.  Now the results are missing in action.
Mess-up on my echocardiogram.  Perhaps I will have to have a follow-up appointment at the docs in which he will tell me he has not received the results?
Mess-up on car tag.  Waiting for the tag AGAIN.  humph.

Hello Darlin' is anyone HOME?  Our efficient world isn't?  Perhaps I am just very spoiled and have no cushion for errors?  Guess I am going to have to grow an extra skin and not let it bother me so much. A tougher skin wouldn't be so bad, if it's pretty.  grins.

Forging along with everyday business.

We went shopping for groceries.  I had cleared out the veggie/fruit fridge beforehand and knew what needed to be purchased.  Lots of fruits and veggies.  I enjoyed a slow paced shopping trip and desire more of these.  

Purchased three types of seedless grapes, peaches, grapefruit, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, spring greens, carrots, peppers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, onions, canned beans, bottled water.  

A better plan for future dates.  If we go to the city to shop for the goods, we can head out early in the morning with list in hand arriving mid morning.  Go shop at the thrift shop then go to JASON'S DELI for a huge salad.  Rest a bit then go to the grocery stores.  Return HOME in the early afternoon to unload groceries and put away the spoils.  Rest again just in time for supper preparations.  We wouldn't be traveling in the dark this way and should have enough energy to put groceries away after getting HOME.  Many times we don't get HOME until after dark and are too tired to put groceries away.  

Thinking about changes in the future.  Right now, I have just got to make some sense out of our messes.  Day dreaming is free, but it can get in the way of actually getting things done.  Know what I mean?

The Presidential DEBATE is scheduled to show Thursday night.  I wonder how many people will watch it?  Politics is a HOT POTATO around here.
