Had trouble finding sleep last night. Fell asleep around 3:30 or 4:00 this morning and was awake by 6:30. Makes for a long day when I don’t get much sleep.
Went to Emporia this morning. My appointment to get my flu and Covid vaccine was at 11:00. They got to me right away and got that taken care of. Then I went to CVS and dropped off a package for Kathy. Went to the local shoe store downtown and got a new pair of tennis shoes. It is almost time to quit wearing my open toe sandals and help my feet stay warmer. They didn’t have the type I have been wearing so am trying out a new brand to me. Trust they will not hurt my feet. Man, shoes are expensive these days.
Went to exercise. It was only 48 minutes today. Time went fast as I had a fun conversation with my trainer.
Met Jason for lunch at Bobby’s D’s. He was between clients and had time to meet me. Always a good day when I get to spend time with one of my kids. It was lightly raining when I came out after lunch. I had stopped and had my car washed on the way to the gym. Not sure that did much good.
This late afternoon my arm is starting to be a bit sore and I am getting a headache. I took some Tylenol and hope to ward off the worst of the side effects. I am grateful I have nothing to do tomorrow or Thursday so have two days to recover. Maybe I will get some extra sleep tonight and tomorrow to make up for what I haven’t gotten the last couple of nights.
Phil finishing putting on the main floor of the front porch today. I am loving the look of the new porch. It makes the house look so much better. He still has to figure out the steps, paint, railing and enclose below the floor. We talked about the railing today and he will take it from there. I trust his judgement and know he will pick out something I will like.
Friday I have to go back to Emporia for exercise. I want to stop and get some groceries for the trip while I am in town. I will have to go back to town Saturday as I have to have the dogs at the vet’s office before 11:30. They will be staying with the Vet while Kathy and I are gone. We leave Sunday morning.
Guess I probably should think about making a packing list. Since we are only going to be gone for three nights I won’t need much. I will have to dig out some warmer clothes as CO received their first snow of the year this week. Trusting we won’t run into weather related issues on the highway to and from. We plan on taking most of our food and eating in the cabin. Again, we won’t need much for only two full days there.
The hospital called and got my mammogram scheduled for October. I have several doctor appointments and tests coming up in October and November. Good to get those things on the calendar and taken care of. If I remember, I need to stop and have my thyroid level checked Friday while I am in town.
Have a feeling I will be in bed early tonight. I am getting very tired. I am cuddled up in my chair with a warm blanket over my legs. This change in the temperature is hard to adjust to. Kathy said she is ready for summer already. Not sure I would go that far but I sure don’t like cold weather.
This has been an easier day than yesterday was. I am not overly full of energy today but have more than I did yesterday. I think I got drained Sunday and it took me a bit to refill. Grateful today’s trip to town didn’t drain me again.
Grateful to have gotten to have lunch with Jason today, grateful for vaccines, and grateful I can take a rest and recovery day tomorrow if needed.
