BUSY DAY PLANNED

LOOKING OUT THE KITCHEN WINDOW TOWARD THE LILAC BUSH, I could see new green growth on the brown dormant branches of the bush.  A bird feeder is outside the window.  There's a flowerbed of white Irises below the window which we are thinking about moving the Irises somewhere else in the yard.  We may prepare a small garden for tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, etc. in this patch of ground.  The bird feeder will need to be moved elsewhere so the bird droppings don't fall onto the garden.

The day was busy as I did some paperwork and we headed out to the pharmacy for some meds.  Out of pocket expenses are causing a ding.  The Armour Thyroid we take isn't covered by insurance.  

The car needed a wash so off we went.  Then over to St. Marys for A SUGAR CREEK LUNCH and to pick up some groceries.  A drive over to Manhattan's Walmart was in order.  More shopping.  A grocery store stop for soy-free eggs, etc.  Time for HoME.

I was ready to rest and have cereal for supper.

                         FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

I'll be doing this drink.

Healthy meal for me.

Avocado toast with cottage cheese, shredded boiled egg and cheese, seasoning.

LABS for hypothyroid issues.

Thinking about the rest of the week.  Wednesday, here we come.  

I checked in my health portal about my MRI results.  My primary doc shared I have a moderate case of arthritis in my right hip and no surgery needed.  Nothing said about the groin.  I can have a consult with a different doc about what they think can be done or get a cortisone shot.  In my opinion, I'm not getting a cortisone shot.  Period.  

I'll do something first by resting, heating and applying a infrared blanket.  Slow stretches and see how this goes THEN I might go to a chiropractor for an adjustment.  

I have improved incredibly since I started this painful journey.  Prayer and time have done wonders.

TOMORROW, I have a budget meeting I need to attend.  Continued cleaning in the house.  Resting the hip and groin. 

Overall, I had a pleasant day.  There was a great deal of smoke in the air due to the Prairie dwellers doing their yearly controlled burning across their grounds.  The smoke causes asthma issues for many.  I forget about this event every year until the burning begins and then I remember.  The really nice days of early SPRING are messed with by the burning.
