Kathy and I drove to Florence for lunch at the Branding Iron. It was one of the best restaurant lunches I have had in a long time. We both got the special which was a smash burger with avocado with fries.
After we ate we visited three different cemeteries to place flowers at graves of loved ones. We went to Hillsboro, Florence, and Cottonwood Falls cemeteries.
As we were leaving the last cemetery it started sprinkling a bit. By the time we got home it was sprinkling harder. We brought the cats and dogs inside and then it started raining. We didn’t get much rain but grateful we got the dogs and cats in before they got muddy and wet. It feels down right cold to me this afternoon. I thought strongly about turning the furnace on but wouldn’t let myself. I may turn my little floor heater on though. Once I get cold, I have a hard time warming up.
My Endocrinologist sent me a note and changed up my thyroid medications. That surprised me as she usually has me recheck in a couple of weeks and then changes it up if it remains low. The new prescription is coming from Mississippi so it will be a couple of days before I can start using the new dose. Hopefully my levels won’t go any lower before then. I may skip one dose this weekend and see if that will help.
My social security for the month was to be in my bank account next week. Guess because of the holiday Monday they sent it early. That was a nice surprise.
I have a password problem. My Apple Watch quit working as it says I need to enter my Hotmail password. I do that but it doesn’t fix the problem. I changed the password and that doesn’t work. Does anyone know anything about this stuff? It is driving me crazy and I am at my limit of skill set. Not sure why all of a sudden my watch did that as nothing had changed. Technology messes with my brain sometimes – and not in a good way.
I go round and round with the codes, passwords, etc. It feels like it is a black hole that sucks me in and never lets me out! Can anyone help a girl out?
I filled the trash can for next week already and still have more than seven boxes to go. I can do this for one more week – right? I think I can, I think I can. I have got to get rid of this clutter in the living room – it is getting on my last nerve. I think I will pile them on the front porch. I only see that when I come into the house.
Tried calling to cancel Max’s truck insurance and the phone would ring for several times and then a voice would come on that said “good bye” and disconnect the line. Tried it twice. I called around 3:00 our time. Maybe they closed early for the holiday weekend. I’ll try again Tuesday.
Can you tell I am falling into the muck pond? Little annoyances are wearing me out. None of them are big but added up I have allowed them to push me over the ledge. Be very careful of me right now!
We are going to plan a picnic at on Sunday, June 29 to have a celebration of Max’s life. He asked that we not hold a service and we will honor that. He asked that his cremains be scattered at a body of water or else in a forest. Since Kansas is not known for its forests, we will use the Chase County Lake as the next best spot. I think we will have a lunch and then a short remembrance. His birthday was June 25 so this is close to that. I need to check if there is a shelter of some sort that we can reserve in advance. Anyone know who I call?
Made an appointment for Kathy to go to my estate attorney next week. We are going Wednesday to KC so she can get her will drawn up and designate a power of attorney, etc. She has been wanting to get that done for some time. We both have extra free time and it seemed to be the right time to get that done. Since we will be in KC we will make a stop at Costco and restock.
Sitting with a major life change in this house. Nothing has changed yet it feels like everything did. Not sure where this new path will lead. It will teach me a much needed lesson in patience. Grateful for a strong support system around me. It will be an interesting ride in the coming months and years.
Grateful for my loved ones and the memories of them I hold dear, grateful for the city trash service, and grateful for blankets and floor heaters on cold, rainy days.
