Doctor visit

The Kid called me up at 12:50 last night and despite the time we had a nice conversation, including her convincing me to go (by phone) to the conference for Oldest Brother on Christmas Eve,

So I got up this morning at 10 and ate breakfast an had coffee and called the nursing home to arrange it. It took several calls but I succeeded. I also called Middle Brother's group home to arrange bring him here for Christmas.

There was also texting regarding my meeting tonight, we cancelled it because of the weather, but that turned out not to be anywhere near as bad as predicted.

Then I took a shower and puttered until 1;45 when I left for my doctor's appointment. This entails two long bus trips and a 15 minute walk. I got there just in time for my 3:45 appointment.

I am happy to say everything is fine except my blood sugar and triglycerides are still high, but lower than they were, so that's good.

I came back again, ignoring the temptation of an Uber, because my lord would that be expensive. I got home after 6, so I would have been late for my meeting anyway so for me it's good it was cancelled.

I am happy to say my Jorts the Cat Christmas cards finally got delivered, not the original order, which has gone missing somewhere, but the replacement pack they were kind enough to send (and say I could keep the others if they show up!)

I put in a Shipt order, mainly wanting three items, a bottle of sugar free creamer cause I'm almost out, and a Hormel met and cheese plate for Christmas Eve, and hand soap. I came up with a couple of other items to make up the minimum order, and put it in. I got everything except plate, which they were out of.

I Skyped the FWiB at 7, and we talked for about an hour and a half, interupted by the Shipt order arriving.

After we finished I had dinner, and then got on my BJs online account which I had forgotten I had made, and ordered a Hormel plate from them. I did BJs because I figured they'd have the best chance of not being out of stock. The delivery cost is expensive but I figure it's not much more than a Shipt tip, plus the cost of the bus to BJs and back if I picked it up, so not exorbitant.

Then I went and started making out the cards. I only have 10 unless the other pack shows up, so I did them for the 4 people who so far sent me cards, the Kid, the FWiB, mashfanficchick, and an old friend. That leaves me two I'm waiting for addresses, cousin John, and cousin Steve.

I called the Kid because I couldn't remember her boyfriend's last name, and we spoke a few minutes.

So that's done, and I had just enough stamps for the eight cards I addressed, so I'll mail them tomorrow.

Then it was time for pet feeding, and I started here.
