Monday or Thursday?

 Susan's alarm goes off at Five AM. She gets up around 5:15. So I'm gently jostled awake which prepares me for my alarm at 5:30. When it went off today, I sat up on the side of the bed, and with a tone of disgust in my voice, I said, "Monday!"

I got up and started into my morning routine. As I was about to step into the shower, I realized I was taking some vacation days on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 

So one could consider this as my Thursday. That little realization brightened my day (and my shower) considerably.

But in the back of my mind, I still know that it's Monday.

Another reason for discontent is that my Friday will be spent prepping for a Colonoscopy at 4:00. I don't know why I accepted an appointment so late in the day. My only defense is that I made it a loooooooong time ago and didn't consider the time.

October BP

Perhaps you will notice that I have augmented this month's Blood Pressure Chart with the Daily Sunrise-Sunset times. I did it for no particular reason other than it is fun to watch the progression of the time changes.

Dr. O'Connor Appointment

 I saw Dr. O'Connor today for a regularly scheduled appointment. I didn't have any issues really and the only questions I had pertained to the Colonoscopy I'm getting in a couple of weeks.

Everything seems to be working still and they made a note that I'm still alive.

Dr. Byazrova Appointment

I saw Dr. Byazrova today. It was a regularly scheduled appointment. I had to go to Post Falls for the appointment. everything went smoothly except for having to wait for the Boston Scientific Technician to show up and download all the info from my Dephibrillator.

All seems well and I am still alive.

Flu Shot

 Just checking in to report that I went in for a Flu Shot today. I went over to Walgreen's at lunch and got the shot for free. I was there all of 30 minutes. When the Pharmacist gave me the shot, I did not even feel it. Now, three hours later, my arm is little sore. I know if I had waited to get the shot from my doctor, it would have cost me $40.00.

A Friday in October

 I worked last Sunday. I drove up to Sandpoint with Mick, another Screen Tek employee, and we did a repair job on a damaged Litehouse trailer. In addition, we installed some decals at the offices of a construction company. With the drive up, the work and the drive back, we clocked in six hours.

So I am taking a day off today. It's been a great day.

I started by sleeping in until 7:30. I got up and put the sheets in the washer. I made myself a hearty breakfast of artery clogging Biscuits and Gravy.

It was delicious. I also had a nice cup of decaf coffee with a shot of Bailey's in my favorite coffee cup. I had to go to Iowa to get a cup that says "I Love Washington".

I consulted with my neighbor Lou about the door issue I'm having in the TV Room. He's going to help my fix my faux pas, which will be chronicled in the other blog.     www.my-life-as-a-house.blogspot.com

It just so happens that Lou picked today to close up the pool. So I went over for a final swim. The temperature was 65 degrees. That's cold but not intolerable.

With that, I jumped in the shower and prepped for the day.

My next task was to try and get some organization with our filing cabinet. I am not good at filing bills and stuff in a timely manner and it was well past time.

I threw away a garbage bag full of old statements and bills. I still have some work to do up there but I am satisfied with my progress so far.

I made a trip to the store for a couple of things and then returned here to help Lou cover the pool. There is no mo swimmin'!

I'm waiting for the sheets to finish drying and then it should be time for Friday afternoon cocktails.
