I HAVE MY MEDICARE PHYSICAL AND LABS OUT OF THE WAY. Praise the LORD. Went like a breeze. What a relief! I fretted over the questions that would be asked such as when the nurse says three words and then 5 minutes later she has you repeat them back to her. I was dreading it 6 weeks ago. Shameful.
BIKE, HONEY, BALL were my words and I REMEMBERED THEM! I drew the analog clock with 7:15 on it. I filled out the questionnaire. I was weighed and blood pressure taken. BP was super good for me at 126/72 and I thanked God over and over that it was as good as it was even after being nervous.
I weighed less than a year ago! PTL. My blood pressure was excellent! PTL. Only hic-cup was waiting for my turn in the LAB LOBBY. This was the busiest I've ever seen this room. Afterwards we headed HOME for lunch and a nap. I was very tired due to little sleep the night before. 'Everybody Loves Raymond' was binged watched. I needed some laughter instead of drama from a movie.
Most of my labs results were recorded in my health portal the same day. Shocked me. My LIPIDS were excellent and my A1c was excellent. I weighed less and that made me a HAPPY CAMPER. Happy happy Joy joy.
Hubby's appointment was Wednesday and all went well for him as well.
NEXT WEEK we meet with our doctor to discuss our health. I'll be working on my questions until then. Truthfully, I'll be so glad when this is behind us.
AS FOR FOOD...this is my BIRTHDAY WEEK sooooo I am having some desserts and bread. THEN, I'll climb back on the wagon and return to MINDFUL EATING and WALKING! Yes-sir-ree-bob. The journey continues.
OUR PLANS are in action for celebrating my 70th BIRTHDAY WEEK. It's sinking in that I iz 70 big ones.
🎂 The day before my 70th, we went to Abilene to eat a fried chicken dinner at the Brookville.
🎂 I was gifted a Tea Leaf Oval Platter with a 6 piece Tea Service Set from one of their Antique stores.
🎂 On my actual birthday, I went for a one and 1/4 mile walk.
🎂 Drove to Starbucks for a TRENTA UNSWEETENED ICED GREEN TEA and a cake-pop. Just what I wanted. HAPPY B-DAY TO ME.
🎂 Two of my kids telephoned me and sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. One Facebook messaged.
🎂My Mom called me. Received some other cards.
🎂 A lovely bracelet arrived from my oldest son, daughter-in-law and family.
🎂Hubby had two large helium balloons tied to my dining chair. Gave me a sweet card.
🎂 The rest of the celebration continues later this week. Hurray.
TONITE, we're sitting together in the same room. Hubs is drawing and I'm blogging. Nice time together without the TV on. Just a fan blowing on our feet. Tis quiet and I like this.
I won't be walking long distances until this week-end. I already know I won't. I watered the porch plants and admired the delicate pink blossom on the large geranium. It has another bloom heading out. The soft pink coloring is lovely. So delicate. I have another galvanized container that I will fill with the two red geraniums that are on the porch hanging high. When the temps do finally cool off then I'll hopefully transplant these two into one of those galvanized tubs. My Geraniums will rest in the Dining room over the WINTER.
I've been DAY DREAMING again about decorating. I can see a finished Dining room, Living room and 2 Bedrooms. Simple things that will clean up the inside of the COTTAGE. I think I am getting geared up for success. That is what it takes.
I'm getting close to being caught up on the piles of paper and hubby is just about done with the linen closet. Then we'll tear into the front bedroom. Can't wait. He's talking about what we need to do and I need him to talk. I think we'll clear out the present TV room, paint the ceiling, fill in the area where two doors were before the walls were closed off, patch and paint the walls. Hang some crown molding. Leave the present carpet in there. It's in pretty good shape. Maybe do something with the window treatment and call. it. good. Move some bedroom furniture in there be done with it.
The front bedroom will become the new TV room after the remodel. I have to know that the house will be torn up and that's just the way it will be for a couple of months. sigh. It's going to get worse before it is better. Dreaming about it. After some furniture gets moved back into the new TV room, then the Living room AND Dining room can be painted, crown molding hung up, etc. and new window treatments hung then we will decide if the wood floor is suitable to live with or what to do next. DREAM ON.
It was 98 degrees today and difficult to be in. I know it's for the best to stay in a cooler room and do other things that need done.
This old lady is going to take a soaking bath and go aweeeeee. NO RUSH. Tomorrow after Breakfast, I'll take a shower and shampoo my hair. She needs a good shampooing. Last time I trimmed my hair I cut layers into her and I like the layers. I must have taken a good 4 inches off. Trying to get the honey blonde color on the tips of my hair to disappear and go ahead and embrace the grey that's taking over.
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚘🚗🚗🚗🚗 A long car ride is overdue. Looking at all the different flowers and landscaping while living on the prairie should be uplifting to me seeing nature at her best. Calming effect. Saying prayers for our country, family and friends, etc. Do you need prayer? Let me know.
