I slept in a bit this morning. I stayed up rather late last night and it felt good to get some extra sleep this morning.
I left for Topeka around 11:30. I stopped at Chipotle for lunch and then went to Walmart to get blinds for the rental house. They had what I needed except for one.
I stopped and filled my car up with gas and then went to my doctor’s appointment. I got there at 1:45 and they called me back at 1:50. The nurse did her quick thing and then I waited. At about 2:30 the nurse popped in and said the doctor had an urgent phone call but would be in soon.
She finally shows up about 2:45. She did apologize several times for running late. She asked the normal questions and looked at my test results. All is well. I asked her about switching to the generic Synthroid medication due to cost. She told me about some place in Mississippi that I can get the liquid Tirosint for $160 for a three month supply. I am currently paying $155 a month.
She sent through a request to them to contact me and get me on their program. I am to contact her if I don’t hear anything in the next two weeks. I will never understand the variant prices of drugs. It doesn’t make sense to me. Not sure what the price will be next year but if they stay rather reasonable I told my doctor that I would stay on the liquid type of thyroid medication.
I came home after my appointment. It rained on the way up and then again on the way home. It was in the mid 50’s today. It was cold and wet today. The house smells like wet dog. Yuck!
Tomorrow I plan on going in to the rental house and painting most of the day. Tagen is off and he is supposed to come join me. We shall see if that happens. I have lots of things I ordered to take to the house tomorrow. I need to borrow Tagen’s muscles and have him help me get a couple bags of dog food in my car. I am almost out.
I got the bid for the guttering at one of the other rental projects. They are going to do the roof first and then do the guttering. Not sure when that is going to happen yet. They are to let me know when they can work it into their schedule.
Wednesday the heat and air guy is coming to Tagen’s house and fixing the furnace. The pilot light was lit by the gas guy but it didn’t stay on and there is some question about the thermostat working properly.
Phil let me know the bathtub wasn’t draining properly so next week I will need to get someone out to check that out. Dang, the to do list keeps growing faster than things I can get done and cross off.
Next week looks rather quiet for me so hoping I can get the rental house finished up. I am getting tired of it already. I hope I have found all the issues it has and can get professionals out there and get it fixed.
Still working on reminding myself to stay present to what is and not to allow myself to think about all the things that might happen in the future. When I stay present I know that all is well – right here – right now – all is well.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from Topeka, grateful for assistance in finding cheaper medication, and grateful most of the things needed for the rental house have been taken care of.
