Morning kittykatt. Little Bit’s dad is home for a long holiday weekend so I don’t have her today. It works because she isn’t feeling well. I am going to wait a day or two to see DM because I don’t want to take a chance that I have picked up the stomach virus and give it to her. I think Saturday would work as long as I stay well for the next two days.

Oh wow, that's the real name of an actual rose variety!

Hope you've had a pleasant morning at church, Kitty.
What are you reading, L Ann? I hope it's just a passing but for Little Bit.

Last night, we were able to change our travel plans with minimal fuss. Even though the bnb calendar was full, I asked the owners if we could arrive a day earlier and they said "yes" so that has been confirmed. I was glad I asked. Dh was easily able to change our plane tix. We changed our plans because dd29 is giving a testimony at the conference in front of hundreds of people Thursday morning, and we want to be there to see her and support her! I also requested a refill of my script. Walgreens says it's an early request but it's not. They have the incorrect dosage. This is annoying but really a 1st world issue.

Today is another gorgeous summer day here, sunny and breezy with a high of 85*F (29.4C). I have no appointments/ meetings on the calendar but lots I need to do, including jogging, more groceries (I'm doing them piecemeal this week - not the most efficient way to get them), visiting Mom even though my turn is tomorrow. I have some yogurt and rice pudding to drop off for her.

Main Goals for Today:
1. Jog
2. Kroger
3. Visit Mom
4. Payroll: update exam record
5. Knock out 1 brain dump item
6. Dinner: creamy Tuscan shrimp over rice

Next:
- back exercises
- jog the arb hill
- s2s and self care

TaDa!
- up and dressed to jog; weighed self - not really moving
- coffee
- email deletions + weather website

Fixing med issues is always a pain, helian. I am sort of reading the new David Baldacci which is way different than his usual books and The Lost Passenger about a woman who was on the Titanic and then changes her identity and disappears on arriving on shore. So far neither one is grabbing my attention.

Yeah, I tried to fix the issue before but it didn't happen. It's OK, though it causes more work for everyone. The pharmacy just contacts the Dr. office for an OK, and the Dr. office always says "yes". WTG on another walk, L Ann.

1. Jog
2. Kroger
3. Visit Mom
4. Payroll: update exam record
5. Knock out 1 brain dump item

DD32 has one doctor that never answers pharmacy requests, helian. DD32 should be home soon and I will see if she wants to go to the pool.

I'm at the coffee shop sitting outside - but not drinking coffee. The line was long and dh says he's leaving soon.

That's a pain, L Ann. It seems Dr offices and pharmacies need to communicate better. Are you going to the pool?

I checked my refill request online -- and now I see my order has been cancelled. What?? So now I'm on the phone on hold. I might just drive over there and see what is going on.

(Later) I think it got straightened out and hopefully I'll be able to pick it up this weekend.

Main Goals for Today:
1. Jog
2. Groceries
3. Visit Mom
4. Payroll: update exam record
5. Knock out 1 brain dump item
6. Dinner: creamy Tuscan shrimp over rice

Next:
- some qt
- figure out groceries for dinner tonight -- or just eat tamales?
- payroll: update exam record

DD32 said no to the pool. Sounds like they were outside a lot today with Fourth of July celebrations at the center. Good luck on the prescription, helian. Lots of extra time when I don’t have Little Bit.
