My guests left around 9:15 this morning. They were only 15 minutes behind schedule. Not bad for having to get four teenagers up and moving. I enjoyed their company and hope they return again sometime. The little one had to go down to the chickens one last time to check for eggs this morning before he left. He found one more egg to take home with him.
I went into Emporia after they left for my physical. Had to get poked twice to give blood as the first site clotted over before the tubes were full. My physical was a joke of sorts. I had heard of special things that have to be done when you turn 65 and are on Medicare but my physical today was my doctor’s version of a normal physical with nothing extra. Not sure it was a complete physical but I can check the box that I had one done.
My blood pressure was 108/60 this morning at the doctor’s office. Not bad! My cholesterol was only 219 which is very low for me. Almost all the blood results were within normal levels and the two or three that were out of whack were not worrisome according to the doctor. Looks like I will live another year or so.
Stopped at Walmart afterwards and bought groceries so I can fix dinner for tonight. Two friends are coming over for dinner and I invited my guest that is coming in tonight to join us too. Came home and started laundry. I have the upstairs bedroom clean and ready to use and am doing the laundry from the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs. Jim is going to drive me around back and I will go in and clean the downstairs when all the laundry is done.
Tomorrow we have a free day. It has been too hot to get much work done on the deck. With company tonight we won’t get much done then. If we were smart we would get up early tomorrow morning and work outside for a couple of hours and then sleep during the heat of the day. I doubt we do that as Jim is not a morning person. I’m not much help right now anyways.
Wednesday I have to be at the doctor in Wichita at 11:00 for my two week check up. We will go to Stillwater after that appointment and I am spending the next two weeks there. The house sitter is coming in Wednesday afternoon for two weeks. I may be able to relax more there as I won’t see so many things I need to take care of while I am at his house. So looking forward to becoming partial weight bearing after my appointment Wednesday.
I best be getting things started for dinner. It seems to take me twice as long to do anything right now as I am not very efficient in my movements. It is so hot out today I am glad to be able to stay inside and do things.
Grateful my physical is done for another year, grateful for positive changes in my blood test results, and grateful the bedroom is cleaned and ready to go.
