silver_chipmunkI got up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee, then showered and dressed. It was, I thought, (mistakenly, as it turned out) somewhat early so I killed a little time, and at 12:45ish I headed out to my PCP appointment.
It took longer than I expected to get there. I made the mistake of taking the 20, which makes a lot of stops, rather than the 44 which takes the same route but fewer stops so it's faster. Then the 46 seemed to be going very slowly, as though the driver was trying to kill time. And then I discovered that they eliminated the stop where I would normally have gotten off, so I had to get off at the next and walk back.
Then of course there's the walk up Marcus ave. I hurried as best I could though it was a rather pleasant walk actually, flowers and I saw several monarch butterflies. I ended up making it with five minutes to spare before my appointment.
The appointment was fast, they checked my weight and pulse and blood pressure, and he went over my blood and urine test results. I lost a little weight, which is good, but I'm still pre-diabetic, but aside from that everything is fine.
I made another appointment for December 16th. and that was that.
Then I went across the street to the shopping center there, and had Red Mango (frozen yogurt) for lunch. Then I really treated myslef and went to what has to be one of the world's smallest Barnes and Nobles. They were haveing a 50% off on many hardcovers sale, and I found one of the Paula Hawkins books that I've been meaning to read there, The Blue Hour. I had a $5 credit too, so a $30 book only cost me $10 plus tax.
Then I came home, and my new Starsky and Hutch tee shirt had arrived, as had the book I ordered from Thriftbooks, Seven Wild Sisters.
It was well after 5:00 when I got home, I read the book I started last night, Ngaio Marsh's Artists in Crime, until 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB.
Then at 8:00 I had my Al-anon meeting. That was small but rather good.
After that I made dinner, and since I am almost out of Lean Cuisine, and can't do a Shipt order for more til I get paid Friday, I went to hell with myself and made mac and cheese. Tomorrow back to dieting.
Then I went to the bedroom and read more of Artists in Crime. And then it was pet feeding time and here I am.
