Last Day of Freedom

I woke up early again on Wednesday. It supposed to be even better weather than yesterday (High near 70 degrees with little or no wind).

I got everything "medical" done (I should be timing this so I know how early I need to get up to still make it to work on time, but I haven’t) and then made a grocery list.

I stopped and gassed up the car (first time I had to pay $4.00 a gallon for my mid-grade). Next I went to Meijer’s to get a couple more pair of pants for work (I’m not going to buy any more “good” pants until I finally determine what my correct size is (or will be). Right now I have 12 pairs of almost new Jos. A. Banks pants (two different waist sizes) that are too big for me. The Goodwill folks may have lucked out, but my wallet sure didn’t!

Then I did my grocery shopping. I didn’t need much, but I did want some corned beef and cabbage for this coming St. Patrick’s day.

Back home, I unloaded the car and then checked the pant sizes BEFORE I washed them (see, I'm not too old to learn, LOL).

I gave my Brother Carl a call to see how he was feeling after his last comment in the Blog. Turns out it was not his back making him feel bad (as I had thought) but he has had flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, etc.) I offered to drive him to the doctors, but he said not just yet.

I called the in-house nurse and let her know I still need her to come for three more weeks. She said, “No problem!”

I talked a bit with Jake about cell phones (I have a work one, but I think I need a personal one). The trouble is, I don’t know anything about features, benefits, plans, etc.)

My Brother Joe called from Florida (they are still on vacation). He said he remembered I had said I would be going back to work on the 15th and he just wondered how I was feeling. I told him I was going to try it and also mentioned I needed three more weeks of antibiotics. He told me to take it easy and we hung up.

The infusion center guy brought me next week’s worth of stuff around 6:30 PM (they had called and asked if today would be okay and I said sure).

I also talked with Carla and then B___ later. I started watching a movie and ate dinner late. My Brother Jim called after 9:00 PM to check up on me as well (I am very popular today, it seems!)

When the movie was finished, I read a book until I started to fall asleep and then went to bed.
