Went into Emporia this morning with Kathy to get the last of the things I need for Thanksgiving Dinner. Also got a bunch of stuff off of my Christmas cookie list. Still have a bunch of stuff on the list but my cart got full and I was tired of shopping. It doesn’t take much to get me tired of shopping.
My pharmacy called and I was one day too early to get my prescription for my thyroid pills refilled so will have to go back into town tomorrow. Funny how the ninety day mail-in prescriptions can be refilled thirty days early but the 30 day ones from the store only have a three-day window. I have a haircut this afternoon and was hoping that would be my last trip to town for several days.
I need to get my sleeping pills refilled too but the pharmacy messed up and didn’t record I had refills. I just called the pharmacy and after a bit of a delay they figured out they could refill it for me. I can pick those up this afternoon.
This has not been an easy day. I was typing something this morning and the computer kept trying to help me but it wasn’t really helping. Kathy heard me cussing and came up to see what was wrong. I filled a salt shaker and spilled salt all over the place. Nothing seems too easy today so am thinking I won’t try to do much today. No use going against the grain of life.
I noticed this morning my neck gets sore when I lift anything very heavy. It has been six weeks since surgery so am surprised it is still getting sore. I still have the headache I had from day one after surgery. It quiets down sometimes but always seems to be in the background. Today it is pounding loudly. I googled it and some people get headaches like this after their thyroid is removed. It is my indicator that my thyroid level is low.
Haven’t gotten a call from the Endocrinologist yet about the ultrasound results. She may be on vacation this week. I’m glad I have MyChart so I could see the results. What a relief to read that the results were normal and there was no lymph node involvement.
I must need to get through Thanksgiving before I can focus on getting ready for Peru. I started a packing list but it was a struggle. I’m going to set it aside and look at it again Friday. I will still have a few days to get anything I might want to take with me.
The wind is sure in a hurry today. I wore my heavy coat to Wal-Mart and got hot. If the wind would slow down it would be a beautiful day out. Not sure the lettuce will stay in the chicken pen long enough for them to eat it before it blows away today.
This afternoon I am going to start cleaning my house. It needs to be done by tomorrow night as I will start cooking Wednesday. May wait to dust until Thursday morning though as the wind is blowing in dust today.
For some reasons some of my mail in my Yahoo email account has gotten marked as Junk and shows up in my junk mail. I have hit the mark as not junk tab but it continues to go to the junk mail file. How do I fix this?
Not an easy day so far but am trusting it will get easier. Maybe as I move my body cleaning I can move into an easy day. Getting my haircut always makes me feel better so I have that to look forward to this afternoon.
Windy, sunny day on the prairie. All is well!
