A busy, busy, Busy day today

Friday, October 24, 2014


Boy, was today ever busy!
I got up with the alarm blaring in my ear, which surprised me - I thought I'd be awake before it went off, but I wasn't, so BEEP BEEP BEEP started my day.  Ugh!
I did get right up, got my shower, got lotioned and dressed, and headed on out.  I had a full schedule, and I had all my stops written down so I wouldn't forget any.  I left home about quarter after 10.

Stop 1 - Bank, here in Bethel.  Made the deposit for the Altar Society (I'm only about 3 weeks late doing this...)
Stop 2 - Doctor's office, in Milford.  I got a letter from the DMV for Doc to fill out, saying that it's okay for me to drive (because of the diabetes).
Stop 3 - Cemetery, in Milford.  I don't get over to Milford very often, so I like to stop in here when I do.
Stop 4 - Crackhead Barrel, in Milford.  FOOD!  I dithered between breakfast and lunch, then really went with lunch today, getting chicken-n-dumplings, hashbrown casserole, and green beans.
I was treated very special today, too, and was seated right smack-dab in front of the fireplace!  Oh, man, did it feel good!
Stop 5 - Physical Therapy, in Eastgate.  Oh, Happy Day!!  The therapist and I decided, after discussion,  that there was no real advantage for me to come over to PT instead of doing the exercises at home, and she went ahead and released me.  I only had 4-6 weeks scheduled anyway, and this was my 4th visit, so it was okay with me!  I can continue doing the exercises at home, and IF I need to, I can come back to finish.  Released!  Yay!
Stop 6 - Western-Southern, in Beechmont.  I had to stop and pay our premium.  Not a big deal, except I forgot they were on the 2nd floor, and there is no elevator.  Fun! (not.)  But - I got it done!
Stop 7 - Walgreens, in Amelia.  I just drove through, picking up prescriptions.  Side note:  On the way past, I noticed that there was only ONE car in the bays at Tire Discounters, so...
Stop 8 - Tire Discounters, in Amelia.  It was past time for my 5,000 tire rotation, and I had told Ron that the next time I had time, I would stop and get it done.  Well...since they weren't busy, why not?
Stop 9 - Josh's work, between Amelia and Bethel.  We needed to talk about our big trip to Verizon tomorrow.  That's gonna be Fun! (not.), too.
Stop 10 - Bank, here in Bethel.  This is a different bank than the one I stopped at this morning, and for a different reason.  I stopped here to find out why our house payment check has not cleared the bank yet.  That is a little worrisome.

I then got to go home.  It was only 4:30, and I was glad to get in a little bit of rest before Ron texted me to come walking out to meet him.  I played on the pute while waiting for him, and at 5:30, I was starting to get worried.  Next thing I know, here he is pulling in the driveway!  He said he was going to change his shoes and walk with me, instead of me walking alone out to meet him.  I told him that he was crazy - he just worked all day!  But, he changed into his gym shoes, and we walked.  We walked to the half-mile mark and turned around and came back.  As we were on 133 coming home, Josh and family pulled into the driveway!  That was some pretty good timing, wasn't it?  They were dropping Corgan off before going shopping, and it all worked out pretty well.

Then, I left home at ten til 7 to go to a 31 party in Mt. Orab,  It was being given by an old school friend, and was scheduled to start at 7:30.  I found her house easy enough, and it was great fun!  Of course, I spent more money than I should have, but it's for a good cause and will cause <snicker> much joy in Gatlinburg.  I snacked on some vegetables and a couple pieces of fruit, which stood in place of my supper.
I got home just before 9:30, and wasted no time in undressing (bra, be gone!) and totally relaxing.
FINALLY.
After 12 hours, I can relax.  My day is over.

And, yes, MFP hollered at me.  Once again.  Even after putting in for a popcorn & milk snack.  Oh damn well.

Tomorrow, Josh and I get to go argue with Verizon.  Fun! (not.), as stated above.  I'm hoping that I can talk him and Chelle to go to Olive Garden for food when we are done, but they were resistant to that idea today.  I think they are thinking Hibachi.  We shall see who wins this battle!
