This has been a busy day. Had a doctor’s appointment at 10:00 this morning so headed to town around 9:15. The nurse called me back at 10:20 but I didn’t see the doctor until 11:15. He didn’t drop off any medications but he did reduce to dosage of my blood pressure medication. He sent new prescriptions for all of my medications to the new pharmacy I will be using August 1 with my switch to Medicare. I don’t need any of them refilled very soon so have some time to get the kinks worked out if there are any. Medicare told me to give my doctor my new Medicare card numbers before August 1 but the doctor’s office didn’t want to take them today. I go to the Cardiologist August 8 so I will give them the new information then.
Stopped to get the girls some lettuce and some lettuce for me and came home. Ate lunch and then took my car into Cottonwood Falls to get the oil changed. Good news is they don’t think the tires need replaced yet. Glad I can put them off for a bit.
Other than unloading and loading dishes in the dishwasher and three loads of laundry I haven’t gotten anything else done today. Feeling a bit tired again today as I was awake from 12:45 to 4:45 during the night. Grateful I got a second sleep between 5:00 and 8:00. Don’t have much motivation to clean house but maybe once I sit and relax for a bit I will find some. Would like to get at least one room a day detailed cleaned.
There is a slight chance for some rain this evening and into tomorrow. The forecast is showing some cooler temperatures for the next seven days. I got a bit of hard mowing done last night. Would be nice to get that finished if it cools down some. Came in very dirty from mowing as I stirred up the dust more than I chopped grass mowing.
Had two people book a room for next week for one night. Still don’t have any bookings past September 2. Not sure why the bookings dried up but it might be nice to have a long break. That doesn’t pay anything but thinking it will pay off in a more refreshed me.
Noticed my BMI is 1% higher at the Doctor’s office than it is based on what my scale says at home. Wonder why that is? My weight was the same both places. Good news is I had lost 6 more pounds from when I saw the Endocrinologist in June. I have reached another plateau and it may be a bit before I release any more weight again. That seems to be the pattern I follow. Getting ever so close to my goal weight yet it still feels a long ways off.
As far as I know I get to stay home tomorrow. This week has gotten too busy for my liking and I have made too many trips to Emporia. Time to stay home for a bit and slow things down again. I have two guests coming in for Friday night but they leave Saturday morning. My long-term boarder is staying over the weekend as he is only working Monday next week and then taking the rest of the week off as he is getting married Saturday.
Peaches from CO are to be at a fruit stand in Emporia on Friday so will go in Friday morning and pick up a case so I can get my peach jam made next week. Apples should be ready sometime in August so I can make apple butter. Wonder if the apples will be really small this year since it has been so dry. The peaches on my tree are very small – not sure they will be worth harvesting.
i gave up and took a short nap. Woke up to rain! Almost didn’t recognize the sound it has been so long. Radar doesn’t look very promising but I will take every drop I can get.
Grateful for a short nap today, grateful I got to reduce my blood pressure medication dosage, and grateful my tires don’t need replaced immediately.
