Thursday and…

it is bright and sunny this morning.  It is 60 degrees right now and to get to the mid 80s.  I have a doctor appointment so that will take care of the morning.

It is afternoon now and still bright and sunny and the temp is 82 right now to reach into the upper 80s with extremely hot weather forecast for the weekend.

I am home from my doctor appointment which was uneventful except for some lab work which is to be expected and is nothing new.  My daughter and I ate at the Olive Garden.  I love the food there, especially the chicken soup with the little dumplings in it and the bread sticks are delicious.

We cross the McCluggage Bridge over the Illinois River on my way to my doctor appointment.  All pics I try to take of this out of a moving car going the speed limit are not any good.

There were lots of beautiful flowers at the clinic.

The last shot is of one of my tomato plants.  Notice how the leaves are curling.  I think the container is too small.  Or maybe I fed the poor baby too much miracle gro.  Considering everything, I guess it is a wonder it is still alive.

Time to wind this down and see what the rest of you have been up to.

Stay safe and be happy!!

Hooray, not for 6 months…

I am just home from a visit with my primary care doctor and the good news is I don’t have to see her for 6 months.  I did make her very well aware of the attitude of the doctor I saw last week.  My primary care doctor is great but she is an internal med specialist and she thinks I need to see a specialist for everything that I have wrong with me.  I personally see no need to see a specialist if I happen to burp the wrong way.  ;-)  (Imagine what I was going to say, but was too nice to say it).

My daughter takes me when I go to the doctor in Peoria.  The traffic was all backed up this morning on the McCluggage  Bridge that crosses the Illinois River from Tazwell County into Peoria.  Fortunately the traffic didn’t get backed up until we were on our way home.  I sure was glad she was driving instead of me. 

When we got home, we had the buffet at Godfather’s Pizza, picked up my meds at the Walgreens across the street and came home.  For some reason it all wore me out and now I think I need to rest.  There was a Perry Mason movie marathon on Encore yesterday so I set the DVR to record several of them.  I have stuff to watch while I rest a bit with my eyes closed.  lol

Yesterday I ate with my daughter and son in law.  Brats, potato salad, corn on the cob and dessert.  It was all good.  The sweet corn right now is delicious so we need to enjoy it while it is in season.  And now I will make this announcement, SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY OVER.

I hope you all have a great week.  Stay safe and be happy!
