I Got Up For This?

 Not much to drop in here today.

PCP visit went fine. Updated him on prescriptions (though he doesn't order them) and where I am in the transplant process. They did do an A1C and it was 4.8 - my lowest ever! I thought about calling my Sister and bragging, but knew that was the wrong reason to do it.

Headed home I was hungry, and was trying to decide on a place to get breakfast and take home. I finally settled on Jack in the Box, as it was close to home. But as I was coming down the freeway, I missed my exit (off in la-la land) so my exit was next, and there aren't any fast foods there without going back or up the road a mile. Except a QT. Now I loved their dogs, especially when I was working driving the truck all over the West Valley years ago. Plus many mornings we gassed up the car and got breakfast there as we started a trip to Tucson. But yesterday? Oh my. I bought a couple tacquitos, a couple jalapeno/cheese hot dogs, and a Mtn Dew ( I know ... sodium and sugar overload). I got home and started eating and messing on the computer. I couldn't eat the first tacquito. It was just "wrong" tasting. The hot dogs went down fine. I tried a different tacquito I had gotten. It seemed okay, until I finished it. Then it was a quick jog to the bathroom to lose all of it. The rest of the day was spent sipping juice. I could not eat anything and nothing sounded enticing. I skipped the Riders meeting because I was so tired and nauseous, didn't feel up to driving.

So that was my day. Today I am hoping for a better day. I feel an appetite starting to wake up, so maybe there is something I will be able to et this morning. Have my meeting at 11a, and I scheduled a Fry's food pick-up for 1-2 pm. Figured between 12-1 I could get ready and go get my hair cut.

Spoke to RM yesterday morning, and it was decided that she will host, and my family will attend, Thanksgiving at her place. The Daughter and family have the in-laws they need to be with this year, but hoping the older two boys and partners... and DOC! will be able to make it. Next up I need to talk to the Wife and see what we would want to do as a menu. I didn't mention it to RM, but I figured we'd come out early, cook most of the stuff (she can help - she's awesome in the kitchen). I think the two things I could do without are stuffing and the can of cranberry-whatever. I like cranberries, but that gel-like stuff that makes a sucking sound as you shake the can to get it out....<shudder>. And I have never really been big on stuffing. I know the others will want, and that is fine.

And I think I rambled enough....

I Lived ....

 ... I ate that loaded baked potato salad the Wife had bought, even though it was past the best sold date. It tasted funny. I attribute that to the sour cream (which I don't like in raw form) but the tummy was not a happy camper through the day. Being Friday, I headed to the Post, and shortly after arriving, I had to the trip to the 'head' (I'm sure it was the potato salad) and leave a package to be sent to the President. Nice personal touch, too, if I say so myself. Over the course of the evening, he got a couple more sent as well.... or, would that be her, because I can't tell the sex of the clowns in office right now....

Anyway, I had a good eve at the Post. It was a small crowd, the Regulars, that sing every chance they can, no matter how good they sound or not. I chose to read, and finished 2-3 books tonight. No songs. No one to impress, no new songs to "try", and didn't care. Tomorrow may be a different story. It is 'steak night' where you can get a nice rib-eye, baked potato, beans, salad and a dessert for $20, and I am waiting for the Wife to see if she wants to go this week or not. What she decides, fixes most of my plans for the day.

The Brother is having a party for the 1 year old grandkid he is now 'raising'. He's one. Being still associated through the State, they get an allowance for things needed to help (diapers, bottles, formula, and all the other special stuff because he is supposed allergic to something). So I have no present. The Brother was at the Post tonight, and I admitted I was not sure if I would make it there tomorrow. It's farther than I like to drive, and his spouse's family might be there, and ....yeah. I'm trying to prevent an altercation, versus starting one. RM is planning to be there, and I guess she said she is bringing tea (another story for another time, that we will just forget about). for me. But I dunno. Drive there, home and back to the Post...lotsa miles. I'm leaving it til the morning and asking the Wife what she wants to do.

Depending on what the Wife says in the morn, I may go hunting for a gun tomorrow. I have been looking at some different ones, and asked opinions from other gun owners. I have an idea of what I want, but need to shop around and find the best deal. Then, whilst I wait the 10-day (if feasible in AZ) look into the concealed carry classes. I already know some of the 'cuts'/vest for the VFW Riders have pockets to help with that as well. I'll spend a day to get a CCW. Yes, I'm a good guy, there will be a gun safe bought for the handgun as well, for when I am home, when little ones are around. I'm not that bad....

So, I think I shared enough for this early hour, and all that caffeine from the tea is still working... but we're done. Until next time.....

Peace
