Sunday Summary for the Week of August 5

                                                          Al is so interested in my blogging
 

Monday, B & I went grocery shopping.  What a way to start the week. We have been having meals from our pantry and freezer but still needed to purchase other things. I shopped with a list and coupons and still it was very expensive.

Tuesday, I had to empty three flower pots that have been on my deck.  The flowers had finally given up and there was nothing to do but toss them.  The pots were kept and put into the garage for next year.  I still have three pots of flowers left and they seem to be hanging in there.  It seems the creatures of nature have decided that my plants are an open air restaurant for them.  The deer have had a marvelous time munching on my hostas and now the chipmunks have decided to join them.  Perhaps they will go to lunch someplace else soon.

Thursday, I went to see my specialist.  It was a fairly early appointment as I had another one at 11am.  Turns out when I got there that I misread the time and showed up a half hour early.  What fun! A half hour sitting in the doctor's waiting room.  He did have some good news, not much, but enough for me to hang onto.  He also asked me to get blood work done while I was there.  Seeing as I had time after his appointment and the lab was not that busy that early in the morning, I was able to have blood drawn before my 11am appt.  I was quite happy that the girl was able to do it in one poke.  It seems my veins are "floaters" and sometimes it takes 2 or 3 pokes to draw blood. My 11am appt is always a short one.  Once a month I have to go in for a B12 shot since medication doesn't seem to work for me. I was out of the medical building finally at about 11:30am.  

B and I then went to the library (one of my happy places). I donated some books that I had finished reading.  They have a set up in the library where you can purchase used books for $1 to $2 and the proceeds going into the library fund.  It's a good cause that I donate a lot to.  I was able to pick up 3 more books to read.  B always says that leaving me alone in a library and/or bookstore is a mistake because I always come out with a pile.  After the library, B took me to Applebees for lunch.  I love their mozzarella sticks plus I like their lunch special of 1/2 salad and bowl of soup.  I had the grilled chicken salad and the tomato basil soup.  Afterwards it was to the farmer's market where we picked up peaches, blueberries and tomatoes.  A trip to the local antique store had nothing of interest and then we headed home.

Friday, B did some work on the house and I wasn't feeling up to anything.  I stayed in and read one of the library books, cuddled with my cat, Al and watched the Olympics on tv.

So that was the week.  It looks busier than it really was but busy enough to help keep my mind off things.  Hope life is treating all of you well.
