Another Day at the Doctor's

This morning started off quite overcast but it was starting to wear off by 0800 and by 0900 it was starting to get pretty warm. Kathleen came downstairs while I was eating breakfast as she was going to go across the river to see if she could get her glasses to fit better and also to pick up her diamond ring and wedding band that she was having made smaller.

So when I finished eating and reading the paper I put my dishes into the dishwasher and washed the pots and pans. Then I took the recycling outside and worked at picking up some of the small junk in front of the garage. I gathered up a couple small bags of mostly small chunks of wood but also some dry wall and a few nails.

After I put the bags into the garbage can I went into the back yard and straightened up a little, pulled a few weeds and apples. I found a couple pieces of pipe that would fit over the plastic stake that I bought a couple weeks ago to set the bird feeder on and cut them to fit. Now I just need to see if the squirrels can climb up on it!

I was getting pretty sweaty and since I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon so I stopped before I got too involved and it got too late for me to take a shower. It was already noon by the time I got inside and so I gathered up the bed linens and put them in the washer.

After doing a few other things I made myself a couple roast beef sandwiches for lunch and looked through a couple catalogs that had come in the mail today. Then I put them into the recycling container and put the bed linens into the drier.

Then when the drier buzzer went off I gathered them up and remade the bed. By this time it was getting late enough that I decided to shower and get ready for my appointment.

Since Kathleen had not gotten dressed yet I was guessing that she was not going to head across the river, since traffic gets pretty hectic with rush hour traffic if one does not plan their trips around the traffic patterns. So I asked her if she wanted to go to the doctors with me and she said she would.

The appointment went pretty well and the doctor said that my self diagnosis was pretty accurate and said that about the only thing that he could recommend was foam so he wrote me a prescription for some.

So after we left there we went to Fred Meyer to have it filled. Well, I guess that what I have is rare enough that the last time they had ordered it was a couple years ago and they did not have any at the store but they would have to order it from their warehouse and it should be here tomorrow.

While we were at Fred Meyer we picked up some more deli salads, a pace of brats and some buns. I think that we are going to have some bean less chili on buns tonight for dinner along with some of the salads.

Speaking of dinner I think that I am going to have to check with Kathleen to see if she is going to cook dinner or if I am going to have to do it. Since it is after 1800 I think it is time to get serious about dinner, I hate to eat dinner too late in the evening and if I do not do something soon it will be late!
