Totally forgot to blog last night. Rare for me to let that happen. Not much happened yesterday so really didn’t have much to blog about anyways.
I had to be at the hospital by 9:45 this morning for an Echocardiogram. The lady came and got me around 9:50. I was done by 10:10. Wonder if it will take nine days to get the results like the heart stress test did.
I stopped at CVS afterwards to pick up a prescription for a friend and then headed home. Stopped and dropped off the pills and made sure she took her first pill. Came home and had some breakfast.
When I was at CVS there was a lady in line in front of me. Her drugs cost a little bit but she didn’t have her purse with her. She had to go to the car where her granddaughter was waiting. The clerk switched to the other register and waited on me. The lady and her granddaughter came back in as I was finishing up. The granddaughter attempted to pay using an app on her phone but it didn’t work. I pulled out a bill and said I would be honored to pay. The lady gave me a big hug when she left. Sometimes we all need a bit of help – this was a small amount and it meant a lot to the lady and her granddaughter. The hug meant a lot to me.
I took a short chair nap this afternoon. I had trouble finding sleep again last night and had to get up and going this morning.
Kathy and I headed back to Emporia at 3:45 to watch Ellexia cheer. It was hot sitting out in the stands today.
Ellexia is a flyer on the cheer team and unfortunately on their first try they had a problem and she fell. One of the base girls went down too and hit her head. Ellexia sprained her wrist and hit her hip. She sat out the rest of the game. They didn’t try another flying set.
We stuck it out to the end of the game. Emporia won 44 to 0. For some reason they decided to play a fifth quarter. Not sure why in this heat. Luckily Ellexia got dismissed after the fourth quarter. Kathy and I took her to Braum’s for dinner. It felt good to sit inside and cool off for a bit.
Dropped Ellexia off and then we came home. It might be an early bedtime for both Kathy and I tonight. She didn’t sleep well last night either.
No plans for tomorrow or Wednesday. I need to get a few groceries so one of these days I will need to go to town to pick a few things up.
I got about ten pieces of mail of Max’s today. Good to know the forwarding thing is working. None of them were things I need to do anything about. Mostly bank statements, insurance stuff, etc.
Got a note from the sergeant that handles the Love in Action project at the Detention Center. She requested a few more things for the detainees that I added to the gift registry. The rolling carts she had me order didn’t last very long and she requested a stronger one. I found one and got it ordered. If it works well, I will order a second one. The new one is stainless steel and it should last longer.
I need to do the weekly update for the Love in Action Facebook page. I didn’t get that done yesterday and haven’t had time today. I will get that done tomorrow.
I haven’t taken the time to look at the news today. I needed to take a break from it anyways and having a busy day gave me a good reason to steer clear of it. So much of what I read feels like exaggerated news at best and some is false, or at least misleading. It takes a lot of energy to chase down facts.
Grateful to be in the right place at the right time this morning, grateful Ellexia and the others didn’t get hurt too badly, and grateful to have gotten to have dinner with Ellexia and Kathy.
