I am Ms. Cranky Pants tonight. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed and it hasn’t been an easy day for me.
I wasn’t ready to get up when the alarm went off this morning. I had slept hard for a couple of hours last night and then woke up and struggled to go back to sleep. Finally did so and then the alarm rudely woke me up.
I had to be in Emporia at 9:15 for my bone density test and mammogram. I made it on time and didn’t have to wait long for them to call me back. Both tests went quickly and easily.
I then went up to the Clinic on the fourth floor and got a blood draw to check my TSH levels.
Went to Walmart for the rest of the my Thanksgiving groceries. Walmart was packed and parking was hard to find. I got what I needed and got out of there. I stopped and filled up with gas as they have the cheapest gas in town that I am aware of.
Came home and put everything away. My dining table is full of things I need to make Thanksgiving dinner. Thank heavens we are going to use that table as I’m not sure I can find the bottom of it.
I made Chex Mix this afternoon. I had the hardest time getting the butter unwrapped. Not sure what the problem was but the paper came off in small sections instead of one big piece. Sometimes the simple things in life give me a hard time! I always give my kids a bag of it for Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season. Kathy and I enjoyed a bowl of it this afternoon while it was still warm.
My TSH results were 1.6. That is a touch low but certainly within range. My sweet spot is 2.0 – 2.5 so pretty darn close.
The doctor’s office called to let me know my mammogram was negative and the bone density test results were about the same as they were last time they did the test.
My neighbor’s insurance company called to get my statement about the dent the neighbor put in Kathy’s car. They sent me a link that I am to complete which includes taking photos of the car. I couldn’t make the camera part work. Not sure what I was doing wrong but I had no patience with it. I called the lady back and told her I am old and don’t do technology well. She didn’t call me back yet. I will see if I can make it work tomorrow when I am not so cranky.
My shingles didn’t really bother me today. I do feel exhausted and cranky but not sure that is because of the shingles or the jet lag. I didn’t take any more antiviral medication as it gave me really bad diarrhea. Trusting tomorrow I will have an easier day.
Tomorrow I will bake my pies and break the bread for the dressing. I need to sort things on the table out so I can find what I need as I cook Thursday morning. I made a list, checked it twice but need to make sure one more time I have everything I need. I am not sure what is open Thursday if I forgot something. Sure hoping I don’t have to go to town tomorrow.
I need to get the cookies to the Detention Center tomorrow so they will have them for their dinner tomorrow night. I also need to go to Casey’s and pay for the pizza.
I probably should do some cleaning tomorrow but we shall see if I get that done. Hopefully the people coming Thursday won’t care if the house is really clean or not. Phil was going to come over tomorrow and clean the new room and move his building stuff out of the way. I need to remember to put a heater in that room so it will be comfortable for our dinner Thursday.
The heating and air guy was to have come yesterday and if they didn’t they were to have called to let me know when they are coming. No word from them so not sure when they are coming. I hate when a business tells you one thing and then does something else.
Hoping this crankiness will be gone tomorrow. I could have ripped someone’s head off today if given a chance. I think I will take my bath early and go to bed and see if that will help. My sleep is still very messed up – even worse than normal. The price I pay for going on an international trip.
I feel cold to my bones tonight. I dug out the little room heater and have it going to try to warm myself up. Cranky and cold! I am getting old!
Grateful the Chex Mix is made, grateful all three test results were normal, and grateful this day is almost over and I didn’t kill anyone!
