... it is hard to be positive about things. Now, I have been pretty much a pessimist for years. Always seeing the bad side of things. Well, I have been trying to turn that around these past few weeks, and have mad moderate success. It's a job to change a habit. This week is feeling like a bad one, even with all the good stuff happening.
I didn't make it to Walgreens yesterday. The Wife needed to run into work and finish some reports that are due on Mondays. Seems the other PT was out last week on vacation, and the Wife didn't want to leave a pile of stuff for her to wade through and do. So, I stayed home. I only left to get a pick-up from Fry's for a couple items I needed for my chili. First time I have used the pick-up option, and it was so easy, and convenient, I would pay the nominal fee that they charge for it. I was earlier than the time allotted, and it still took less than 5 minutes. Speaking of, I thought the chili turned out really well. The Wife said it had some spiciness to it (she can't handle that) and I admitted that one of the cans of beans said it had jalapenos in it ... but I didn't notice that until it was open and I was dumping it in. The other can was regular. I blame someone in the store for putting that jalapeno one with the regular... The Youngest even had two bowls! To me that is a good sign. I even have leftovers for today ... or tomorrow.
Have a blood draw for lab work scheduled today at 9am. Afterwards, I am head to Sun City to a day-old bread store that have donated for the Riders before. I am hoping they will donate some hamburger and hot dog buns, that I can pick up Thursday for Friday's dinner. I'm still trying to find someone to grill the meat, and may end up using my brother. He said he would know Tuesday, as he has to work around a sitter (
one of his kids) for his granddaughter.
Since I am less than a mile away from RM's at that point, I said I may stop by and visit a short while. I do have a 1pm Zoom meeting that I would prefer to do at home, versus from my phone, so probably won't stay overly long. Reminds me I need to get the jar from her salsa and the bag she sent them in back to her. Let's see if I forget or not.
Having gone a whole week without that one prescription has made a difference. I am distended a bit, nay a lot, more than usual. It is a diuretic, and without it, I'm not getting enough fluid out of my system. I have been good about keeping an appointment for paracentesis each week, and calling to cancel if I don't need it, but this week got lost in the shuffle I guess, as I don't have one scheduled for this week. Going to try to make it to next Wednesday. I think it is harder since it has started to warm up so much here, and even though I am on a fluid restriction, I think I tend to drink a bit more water due to the heat. Shrug. If I have time, I'll stop at Walgreens on the way home.
And now it is just after 4:30am. I am awake and bored.
