Good Morning. Officially it is still morning for about another hour anyway. I hope that everyone is having a great start to their day, or if your in another time zone, I hope that you had an awesome day and lovely evening.
We had a massive thunderstorm night before last. The wind was so fierce and scary. I was trying to update my blog when it started. It really took me by surprise as I had not seen a weather forecast and I had just sat down when I got an alert.
I looked at my phone and decided my best course of action would be to shut down and unplug my computer and I was glad that I went with my gut instinct because we lost power for almost an hour or so.
The next morning I read that straight line winds had tossed a RV up in the air and landed upside down. The rescue workers had to cut their way thru to get the people out. Both in their 70's and they were taken to the hospital with serious injuries but not life threatening thankfully. Damage was scattered all over but it could have been a lot worse than it was.
I had a doctor appointment yesterday and it did not go well. My primary care doctor wants to insert herself into my diabetes care. I have an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes. I had to say to her several times that I have a specialist. I would not have gone to this appointment had I known that it was for a follow up on my diabetes.
I woke up stiff. I tried to make light of it and get on with my day but truthfully it took all I had to get a shower and dress. I didn't take my pain medication because when I take it and ride in a car I feel sick to my stomach and I didn't think that I could cope with that yesterday.
However I would have taken the meds if I had known how I would feel by just riding in the car to and from.
It was horrible. It was also rush hour traffic and Jonathan had to take care of a few errands on the way home. Then we had to pick Karyn up from work. My entire body was screaming and when I made it home I pulled off my clothes, put on my night gown, took 2 pain tablets and laid down. I didn't sleep but just listened to some music to help me relax.
My friend Patsy wanted to chat but I text her and told her I just couldn't. I would have sounded like a babbling idiot if I had attempted any kind of a conversation.
Karyn rubbed cream over my neck and shoulders getting the exact spots that I cannot reach. It was wonderful and with my ice pack and my heating pad I didn't move until dinner time. It was a very easy meal of soup and a soft chicken taco.
Jonathan has a Ford Focus. It is a small car and it seems like every bump is magnified. I wanted something cold to drink but left my purse at home! I cannot believe I walked out of my house without my purse or my phone. Jonathan said he would get me something but I declined because I knew that he needed to get to his destination before they closed and we were hitting the rush hour traffic as it was. We were set to head home when Karyn called saying that her ride home had left work early so we had to head across town to get her. Jonathan said he had to grocery shop for his committee and I wanted to cry but thankfully he decided to wait a couple of hours. Hooray for me!
I slept very peacefully during the night. It is the first night that I have had a wonderful sleep. I have a ritual of sorts that helps me rest. I use candles, soft music, tea and incense as well as soothing aromatic lotions and creams.
My little sleepy time ritual. I have read that candles help remove the negativity from your space and I do think that they help me. This picture is one I might have shared before and the only difference is perhaps the creams I use and the flavor of the teas. Last night I had a cup of tea that Miss Edna gave me in Florida. It is made by Tetley and called Forest Fruits. It is really delightful. I also use my clear cup and saucer. I have a thing for cups.
Speaking of cups, when I was married to my kids dad, he drove a big rig truck and I had started collecting a cup from every state. I had a very large collection but I didn't take them when I moved out. I left a lot of things that are long gone. Do I miss them? Yes sometimes. Sometimes I wish I had a certain item or collection like my angels and my clocks. But in the long run, it's not all that important anymore.
I have some phone calls to make today and just the thought of going to more appointments really tugs at my procrastination gene... But these are important tests. Mammogram and bone density and labs for my endocrinologist.
I am going to be smart about it tho. I am having all of my tests done the same day at the same clinic and get them all done in one place. I am not sure about the labs tho. I might have to go to a different clinic for that one but it is a small clinic and I am usually in and out in 15 minutes. The imaging center is huge and have a lot of technicians so it is usually fast as well.
Also I have 3 gift cards for $50.00 each coming in the mail as soon as I finish these tests. I love how my doctors reward their patients with these little rewards. Who couldn't use an extra $150.00 in their pocket?
Sadly tho the gift cards cannot buy just anything. They use to give us Wal-Mart cards but now it is Pharmacy and Grocery. But I can think of a lot of groceries I enjoy buying.
Our Farmers market boxes are just awesome. I am hoping for a watermelon!!! Ohh Karyn got mandarin oranges in hers. She split them with me and I cannot tell you how wonderful they are. So sweet and juicy that they just burst with flavor in your mouth... so yummy.
Miss Edna is on the phone so I am off to chat... Have an awesome day to all... BB
