This has been a quiet, stay-at-home type of day. I have never felt like I woke all the way up today. Kathy predicted I will become wide awake when I lay down to go to sleep tonight. Sounds about right!
I did go to Jacalito for lunch. I couldn’t think of something to fix and I needed real food.
The nonprofit paperwork for Love in Action, Inc. is complete! Yeah! Friday I will go to the bank and open an account and then open a new Venmo account. It feels good to have the paperwork done.
I am checking on liability insurance. Not sure we need it but if we start the transportation thing it would be a good idea. I will get a couple of quotes and see if it is anywhere near affordable. Have a feeling it won’t be but I may get surprised.
I doubt that I make it up till midnight tonight. We shall see. I’m tired and may head to bed soon. If Kathy is right and I wake up when I go to bed I might make it to midnight.
No plans to celebrate the New Year’s tomorrow. If I get ambitious I may make a pot of soup.
I do need to to to Emporia to pick up a prescription but not sure the pharmacy will be open tomorrow. I got a response back from the Cardiologist. She wants to only change one of the two blood pressure medications I am on to see if it will work. She wants me to give it a week or so and if I need more support than change the dose on the other medication too. That makes sense to me. My primary doctor wanted to increase the dosage on both at the same time.
My blood pressure has been good today. It was 125/69 earlier. That is without changing any dosage. Tonight it is 155/75. Man, I wish I could figure this out.
Hearing lots of reports about the flu and Covid going around. It is a good time for me to hole up and become a hermit and not get out and about. The last thing I want is to get the flu and delay surgery that is scheduled for January 15. I trust the hospital stay will not expose me to it.
I called the company that is ordering and then installing the new shower door. They quoted me over $2,200. Yikes! Had no idea it would be that much. They also said it will take four to six weeks. I told them I really need it by the 15th of January so I can use that shower after my surgery. They said they would see what they could do. Not counting on it!
A New Year always feels like a fresh start. It is good to get my pending list cleaned up and have very few things on my to-do list. I have become more intentional about what to pick up and carry these days. For way too many years I carried stuff that wasn’t even mine to carry. Time to let that shit go. I remember when I first heard about the concept of letting go. I initially thought it was a once and done type of thing. Little did I know then that it is a daily choice one must make.
Grateful the Love in Action paperwork is complete, grateful for at least one good blood pressure reading today, and grateful for a fresh start with a new year.
