Home from multiple medical tests followed by several other stops. Today I had EKG (hoping I didn't flunk this one!), carotid ultrasound (both sides of neck) and echocardiogram (Heart sonogram). I'm hoping these test will finally put to rest any concern about my heart. My heart rate was above 60 bpm (barely) at the test so they didn't flag me as having bradycardia today. I go Monday for more blood work and get test results from today's test.
I stopped by Sam's and filled up with gas then filled the back of the Suburban with about $300 of groceries. It seems I am always buying more groceries but feeding 15+ meals and snacks a day means we go through a lot of food.
I picked up DMom's prescriptions and also got her a folding cane at the pharmacy. I dropped those things at her home and did a couple of chores for her. DMom is in the middle of baking banana bread. Many. Many. loves of banana bread. She had an assembly line going. She had several loaves on the counter cooling, her oven was full of more loaves baking and she had more batter made & ready to put into the oven when those loaves come out. All of these freshly baked loaves of banana bread will be given away.......friends, family, neighbors, the garbage truck crew, the water meter reader, the doctor office reception and nurses, the postman, etc, etc. etc. Basically, anyone who comes in contact with DMom gets banana bread. DMom likes to be busy and it brings her joy to do this. Win-Win.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
