My guests checked out around 10:30 this morning. No one else is booked to come until Friday so should have a couple of days of no guests. It was a long stretch of over two weeks with guests every night. It went fast though and was very manageable but I will enjoy the empty house for a couple of days.
Have one bedroom put back together and need to finish up the second one. The sheets weren’t dry before I had to go to Topeka for my ultrasound. It was a quick trip up and back to Topeka. The test only takes 15 minutes at most. Didn’t stop anywhere before or after except at Walmart in Emporia to get a few groceries before I came back home.
Nothing on my calendar for tomorrow! Empty space at last. May go walk with Kathy’s group in the morning unless I decide to get the mowing done while it is still cool out. We may get some rain tonight so may not be able to mow if it is too wet – at least I can dream it will be.
Finished another set of tea towels this morning and have one of seven done on another set. The only problem with doing tea towels is that I sit too much. My back has been sore and thinking it is from sitting too much. I forget to take a break and move my body.
Last week I was really hungry most days and could have eaten another plate full at each meal. This week I am not hungry at all and have to make myself eat all my food. Sure wish I knew what caused that to happen. I eat pretty much the same thing every day do not thinking I triggered myself to be hungry.
Sent a note to my primary physician this morning to see if he would lower the dose of the blood thinner I am on as my legs look like I am a battered woman. He referred me to the Cardiologist to have him handle it even though my primary doctor is the one that started me on the blood thinner medication in the first place. The Cardiologist is out of the office this week. His nurse was going to forward my message to him but she wasn’t sure he would respond. My medication runs out Saturday. They aren’t the type of pills that can be cut in half and I didn’t want to get a refill at the higher dosage in case he will cut the dose for me. Guess I will wait till Friday to see if I hear back from him and will have to get them refilled if I don’t. They are so expensive I hate to potentially waste them if he cuts the dose next week. Good thing insurance will pay for them this time though.
Wednesday morning I have my stress test. Thinking I probably should have cancelled it. I had the Atrial Flutter episode on April 13. Two months after the fact seems unnecessary at this point. Surely something would have happened by now if it was going to.
Thursday I am going to a board meeting at Pioneer Bluffs in the afternoon and an educational seminar about Medicare in the evening. Friday three guests arrive for one night. Best take advantage of empty space tomorrow as I won’t have any more until next week. I will need to clean house sometime this week too so it is ready for the guests that arrive Friday.
Next week I go back to Topeka on Monday for an appointment with the Endocrinologist and then a guest arrives that afternoon and is staying for three nights. No rest for the weary around here!
Another hot summer day today. Almost 100 out today. Crossing all my fingers and toes the storm that is forecasted will happen and we will get some rain on the prairie tonight. It is really dry and dusty out.
Grateful for a quick and safe trip to and from Topeka today, grateful for empty space all day tomorrow, and grateful for the promise of rain tonight.
