I have had a wonderful day. To start with, this morning I found out that I had won a new memory stick for my camera on an ebay auction. It supposedly holds 1GB and I got it for $2.99.(I love the Muu Muu that I got on ebay for Sean's upcoming Luau 4oth bash.) Then I took the dog out to pee without a leash and he went out and did his thing and came right back in when I called him. (He is getting used to us and our routines and soon we can just let him out and back in and not have to venture out ourselves.) Then I went to the gym for an hour of water aerobics plus an hour of Yoga, followed by shopping at Walgreens, Meijer, Walmart (to get Mac's glasses adjusted) and best of all the Two Season's greenhouse.
I bought the wave petunias, impatiens and alyssum that I buy each year, but I also bought a nice lavender plant and two primroses. I am going to try growing the lavender in a pot near the beach as it needs a lot of sun and I have mostly shade. The primroses are for Anja (I don't know if they are still her favorite flower or not.?) I used to have some but they have disappeared so I thought I would try again. Maybe they will be in bloom when she gets here next month.
My last errand in town was to go to the lung doctor for a check up. I haven't changed much in four years now and that is good news. My blood oxygen level was 94% this year and 95% then. They said, just call if you are in trouble, no more regular two year visits. (I weighed 5 lbs more than two years ago, but I am working on that.)
I have already dropped about 4 lbs since getting back from Florida. One of the things I have realized just lately is that the down side of not ever getting new knees is that I have to get serious about keeping these two out of pain. Losing weight is one way to help that along. I almost wanted new knees so that I wouldn't have to lose the weight--Isn't that sicko?--prefering a drastic operation like that, to controlling my food intake. (Rascal's dog obedience training accounts for some of the weight loss as I have recently added in a mile each day to work on his homework lessons.)
At the doctors office, I really had to add a lot of things to the list of pills I take. The additions were Melatonin, Chromium Picolanate, Magnesium, Alfalfa, Calcium with D, L-Lysene, Acidopholous and then I am now on Estrogen and off of the Fem Ring. I can't get anything else done as I have to take pills all day long.
Mac and I are having a good time this week trying to copy Landon's fart cuteness. He kept saying excitedly, "I farted!" each time it occurred. I kept replying that he should say "Excuse me." and he picked it right up. He changed it to "I farted!! Excuse me?" Of course I am almost where I want him to be. He is such a character!
Well this is the night for Grey's Anatomy so I have a nice way to finish a great day.
