A very lazy day in Stillwater today. It has rained off and on all afternoon. After such a productive day yesterday today was the exact opposite.
My Camino friends from CA FaceTime with us today. It is so fun to see their faces and have conversation. We chatted for over an hour!
I went to Walmart to pick up my prescriptions and get groceries and some other things we needed. The store was not busy and the shelves were fuller than they were last time I was there. Still no hand sanitizer, thermometers, rubbing alcohol or jig saw puzzles. They had some hamburger and other meat today although I didn’t buy any.
When I picked up my blood pressure medication they told me they had to give me the water pill part separately as they can’t get the combination pill. They told me the price was $243! Ouch! I use GoodRX and was able to get the price down to $44. Still not sure how that works as I don’t pay GoodRX anything. Something seems fishy to me in that deal.
I called my doctor in Emporia today and found out they hadn’t received my blood tests results from Stillwater that were done last Thursday. I called the Stillwater Clinic and they told me they would fax them again. The Doctor’s office called me back and the doctor changed the dose of my thyroid medication. I had just picked up a refill of the other dose. I’ll have to go back to the pharmacy when the new dose is ready and pick it up. Sometimes it is hard to know what to do!
I was surprised I wasn’t sore from being on my hands and knees for six hours yesterday. The floor sure looks nice today. I’m anxious for us to get it sanded and the varnish put on it.
I have scalloped potatoes and ham baking in the oven for dinner. They should be ready in about 30 minutes. I will need to heat up some veggies to serve with it and that will be dinner.
I’m grateful for being able to deposit checks on-line. I got a rent check Saturday and was able to take pictures of it and send to my bank and they were able to deposit it into my account. Amazing!
I listened to a BBC report this afternoon. The report said the people in England are being told to stay at home with little movement in the community until at least the end of June. Starting to think that will happen here too. I may not be back in KS until fall time.
I have moved into a better space mentality as I have started to accept the reality of what is happening. I am in a safe place and have all my basic needs met and many of my wants met. I am one of the lucky ones. There are so many hurting people in the world right now – from the sick to the ones that have no financial resources.
I sure miss my kids and grandkids. It will be a grand day when we see each other again. One certainly learns quickly not to take face-to-face visits for granted. I am missing giving and receiving hugs to my family and friends. Grateful I have Jim to hug often.
Grateful for a safe and peaceful shopping trip today, grateful for GoodRX and the savings they provided, and grateful my basic needs are met and then some!
