I drove to Topeka this morning to have an Ultrasound of my throat and four blood tests. The lady that did the Ultrasound took me back 15 minutes early so I was done by the time of my appointment. By the time I got home, the doctor had read the test and the results were normal.
I went to a different office and had the blood drawn. I got the results of two of them this afternoon. My TSH was 4.7 which is too high but lower than the last two times I had it checked. The T4 was within normal limits but on the low side of normal but higher than it has been.
The other two blood tests are for the cancer markers. They send those tests out so the results won’t be back for a few days.
I went to Chipotle for lunch. They were having staffing issues today. The food was almost acceptable and the service was slow and poor. The worse thing is their ice machine was broken yet again so no iced tea.
I stopped at Nature’s Grocer and got some Manuka Honey and then went to McDonald’s for some iced tea. Drove home after that. I had forgotten to take a picture of the paint can for the deck so didn’t stop to get that. I have to go back to Topeka next week so will get it then. I’m pretty sure I won’t get to paint much this week anyways.
I haven’t gotten much done at home this afternoon. I need to get back downstairs and do some more cleaning. I don’t have anything on my calendar the rest of the week so have plenty of time to clean this week.
I just finished watching the first season of Madam Secretary. I sure couldn’t work in politics. They have to sell their soul to the devil to make deals. No wonder they get corrupted and sell out.
We got about an inch of rain today on the prairie. Sure could have used lots more but grateful for what we got. This afternoon we had a wind gust of 48.8 MPH. Grateful the wind has slowed down for a bit. I love thunderstorms but not the high winds.
Sitting in that in-between space lately but with a calm heart and head. It doesn’t feel totally comfortable but I have moved to an acceptance of it. Not knowing what is next is never going to easy for me but stepping into acceptance of it is the first big step.
Grateful for a safe trip to Topeka today, grateful for the rain that fell on the prairie today, and grateful for acceptance of the in-between state.
