Dishes, teh mom, medical, and some calls.

.

Yeah, well.  Life isn't quite up to par.  I am just as deeply in the pits, just not so darkly.  So I begin doing what I can with what I have.

Trash was taken out, and recycling.  When I finished that I reset the dishes to a fresh hot rinse.  Then I had to sit a bit.  A long bit.  Not sore, just not on track or able to keep on track.

A call this morning.  My mother received here final gift.  Another "hat".  Yipee?  I was worried about it.  When I had asked what she received, well... her descriptions are not very good.  So I out and out spilled the beans to see if she had received this particular hat.  Nope.  Gah!  But it is on the way.  In describing it, she... really didn't like it.  All the other hats are fine, warm, but daintily so, women's hats.  This one, well, look at the picture.  She lives in the cold, I wanted something for warm.  Not really her thing, she suggested.  She got it today.  And she loves it.  She will use it when taking her little one out for his morning duty.  It doesn't hurt that it is ten below, and worse with windchill.  Timing, people.  I keep telling you.  Hate to love, disdain for cherish, all in the turn of a moment.

I realized that thumbs and some other parts are sore.  Too much fluid building up.  I kept going with the lower doses of the water pill, in spite of my notions, but I am having to surrender to the realization that I simply need a higher dose.  So, today, I added in the extra half a pill to my pill boxes, and took an extra half shortly after I had taken my morning dose.  Gotta do what you gotta do.  I need to call the V.A. and see when my next appointments are.  I haven't missed any, so far, but it has been tight sometimes.  A doctor, dental, and the heart transplant clinic... for sure.  Not sure about anything else. 

I also need to call and cancel the gym membership.  Once that ends out, I think a two month wait, I will begin looking for something else, something closer, something more secure.  Either that or use that money for... something else.  Something that will engage me in physical activity, even just once in a while.  I am trying folks, but I can't afford to be ripped off of gas that heavily.  Even if my vehicle was getting a quarter of the posted mileage I wouldn't be spending that much money for gasoline.  That was insane.

Oh, well...  A little rest, after this, with some music, and then... on to my day.  Wish me luck?  Good day.
