I called the dentist that had filled a tooth for me several years ago. They are going to see me tomorrow at noon. The dentist called in a prescription for an antibiotic for me to get started on. Crossing my fingers the antibiotic doesn’t activate my C-Diff! Grateful they gave me an appointment that soon. Not sure what they will be doing tomorrow as I’m not sure what the problem is. They told me they would need to take X-Rays at a cost of $99. Yikes! Now I remember why I go to the Vo-Tech dental program.
I went to town around noon. Stopped at Walmart to pick up my prescription and then took Tagen’s birthday present to him. I got the peanut butter balls made during the game last night. I got lucky and got to see Tagen for a bit. He hadn’t left for school yet. Made my day to get to see him!
Went by my property manager’s house and picked up the rental house information so I can finish up getting my taxes ready. Had a nice conversation with him. I don’t get a chance to see him often enough.
Went to a meeting on doing taxes. I managed to pass two of the four tests I need to take. Have another test almost done and will need to do some homework for the rest of the third test. In order to take the fourth test I need a book that the coordinator didn’t have available so will need to pick that up tomorrow while I am in town. The coordinator had to call a helper to come over to help figure out how to get me into the system. The system uses four different user names and passwords to enter four different systems. Wonder if they could make it more complicated if they tried? One of the passwords has to be 15 letters, numbers and/or characters long. High security for sure!
Good thing taking and passing the tests is the hardest part of doing taxes. Still not sure why they test us on things we won’t see during the actual tax season.
When I got home, Kathy was getting ready to do the chickens for me. I’m glad I came home when I did as the chicken feed is still in my car. I don’t want to unload it all into the barn and then have to load it back up again to move it to the house. Grateful she did chores for me today. The girls gave her 18 eggs today for her walk down to them.
I found the package that was MIA. It was in the mailbox which is where I suspected it might be. Had a full box of mail as I hadn’t picked mail up since Thursday.
I put some green chicken in the crock pot before I left this morning. I had forgotten about it and was grateful for it when I got home as I didn’t stop for lunch while I was in town. I can barely eat right now but the chicken was nice and tender and I was able to get it down.
Things have melted a bit today although the temperature is only 30. There is a dense fog rolling in. We had some ice fall overnight and the schools were on a two-hour delayed start this morning. By the time I went to town, the roads were all clear and the sidewalks were starting to melt. Where you have to walk on top of piled snow was a bit treacherous though as the ice froze over the snow. The only dangerous part of going to town was walking down to the barn.
We have a good chance for more wintery mix this evening and overnight and into tomorrow. It is to warm up even more tomorrow so hoping things will be good to go by the time I have to go to town for my noon dental appointment.
The dogs spent the night inside. They didn’t want to go out last night when I went to bed. They were good and didn’t wake me up during the night. It was warmer last night than it has been so not sure why they wanted to stay in.
I have to go to town tomorrow to go to the dentist and then again on Thursday to go to another tax meeting. Saturday I have a Celebration of Life Service to go to. I’m kinda missing my nine day stretch of staying home. So far the following week looks like I have more empty space but we shall see. Once I start the exercise program I will have to go to town three, four or five days a week for that. Maybe this is the universe’s way of getting me used to getting out more.
This day has gone by fast since I was in town for most of it. The pain in my jaw is still there. Taking Tylenol every four hours seems to knock the worst of it down for most of the four hours. Will be ever so grateful to find out what is causing the pain and to get it taken care of.
So far today I have been able to hold my consciousness level above neutral. We shall see if I can hold it there all week long with all the trips to town.
Grateful I got a dental appointment for tomorrow, grateful I got to see Tagen today, and grateful the temperature is warmer today than it has been for several weeks.
