I'm late I'm late I'm late
I don't know where the time has gone
I'M LATE.
Honestly, I don't know where the time has gone. For a person who "doesn't have anything to do," my calendar is awfully full. And what have I done? Well, let's see....
Since my last entry, I visited my doctor. My blood pressure is down to 120/60. It hasn't been that low in 40 years! He says there's no such thing as too low as long as you can get out of bed. In the hospital it was 210/100. When I was discharged it was 160/90. The hospital doctor put me on another blood pressure medication in addition to the one my doctor had me on. Must be working. He wants to see me again in a month.
The next day physical therapy, with a new exercise. The therapist wants me to bring someone the next visit so he can show her how to do a stretching exercise on me. My neighbor, who is driving me nuts with her solicitousness, has said she'd be glad to help. (I knew she would.)
After that had lunch with a friend I haven't lunched with since sometime in December. We used to meet every Thursday, but somehow things started getting in the way. We've talked briefly on the phone, but haven't gotten together. I really enjoy being with her, and we've promised each other to get together more often. I hope so.
Then Friday morning when I was going through the newspaper, I saw an ad for some cookware on sale at a very decent price. I had some gift money that I'd been saving for something special, whatever that turned out to be, and I thought AH HAH! Gift money here we come. Now I have a gorgeous stainless steel set of cookware. Not only did I get it on sale, but I got another 15% off for getting a store credit card (which I won't use), so I got A REAL DEAL!!
And some of the gift money left over for the knives I'm looking for.
Also I was so full of energy Friday, I watered all my plants, trimmed a climbing rose, and cleaned my kitchen. Just made in and out of the shower in time to light my Sabbath candles. A productive day.
Update on the pinched nerve. Most of the pain is gone, and when it comes it's not as bad nor does it last as long. I thought surely I'd pay for all that physical activity, but I believe it actually did some good. I may be seeing the end of painpainpain. And I'm sleeping well.
But it's late now, and I have a Sunday morning engagement. So I'll read a diary or two and go to bed.
Shalom
