Doctor's Appointments

I wound up getting my second wind and staying up late. Plan B is to log onto work at the usual time and work an extra 45 minutes in the evening.

Woke up at 6:30 AM. Took Bella out but decided that I wanted to get another half-hour of sleep, so I brought her in early.

Crazy cats are crazy and are chasing each other.

I'm looking at adult tricycles to use to run errands. There are stores that are not too far away to which I could bike. I found one that I like, and they sell it at a local bike shop, so they could put it together. Not sure how I'd get it home though. I could take side streets.

I got an email for the Amalfi Coast trip. Apparently you can customize where you stay and at what hotels. I don't need four-star accommodations. It sounds promising.

I've decided to grow snapdragons in my back part-sun garden bed. Lowe's has them. I was going to have them delivered, but that will double the cost of them, so I'll go by Lowe's this weekend. Actually, my eye doctor appointment this afternoon is nearby, so I'll pop in afterward.

I've run into a snag. My therapist is changing practices. She wants a LOCAL Emergency Contact Person, and I don't have one. I emailed her asking what to do. I really need to meet more people here. She said that she'll put a note to contact the local EMS if needed.

I'm mulling over volunteering at the local Humane Society. The good news is that I love working with cats; the bad news is that I love cats and don't want to end up with another one. Oliver and Lily get along so well that I don't want to rock the boat. Also, I have volunteered to take my dad and Sue's cat if they no longer can take care of him. He's a real cutie. (BTW, I'm adding the local Humane Society to my will. The proceeds from the sale of my car or cars will go to them. That should buy a lot of cat food.)

The appointment with the psychiatrist went quickly. She’s going to keep me on the increased meds and will see me in three months.

Bella is excited that I left and came back! She is happy! Silly pooch :)

I was wondering if the NokBox has a lock, and apparently there's a spot for a small combination lock. I want to put the logins for my bank accounts in it, but I don't want them available if someone breaks in. So I'll work on my list.

Created my list of bank accounts. It wasn't as bad as I thought last night. And almost finished my list of credit cards. But I need to get myself together for the eye doctor appointment.

The eye doctor appointment ran long. We were waiting a long time for the (virtual) doctor. My prescription didn’t change much and I have it in hand. Bought an expensive pair of glasses.

Went to Lowe’s and cleaned them out of snapdragons. Also bought a fern.

Bella is fussing over me again. So is Oliver, but he wants food.

Fed us all. Took a nap and slept until 1 AM.

Have a Draft of My Will

I need to figure out what to do with any cash left over in my bank accounts for my will. Maybe donate to a food bank? Note to self: Eastern Illinois Food Bank

Bella did need to go out. It can be hard to tell with her.

Ow, there’s a pain pulse in my knee.

Woke up at 8 AM. Went back to sleep and woke up at 10:30. I kind of want to stay home today and weed and plant stuff. I can go to the garden shops tomorrow. Fed us all except for Bella, whom I will feed after I get up from my nap so that I can get her outside right away.

Woke up early from my nap. Bella is still asleep.

Now I was thinking that I should go to the garden shop after all, but they close at 5 PM and it’s now almost 3 and I need to eat and shower. I don’t feel up to planting though. Maybe I should work on my will (and I need to make up time for work).

Got my weary butt into the shower. Now I'm working. Done with work. Fed us all. Bella was yawning and making me yawn, so I’m going to lie down for a little while. Napped and slept until 10 PM.

Took Bella out. Now I'm working on my will. Hmm, it won't let me assign specific assets to people, only a percentage. I guess that I'll divide my assets between the Humane Society and a food bank. Okay, I'm stuck on the executor. I contacted a firm to serve as the executor and have a meeting with them on Monday. I discovered that I have a dental appointment on Monday!

I think that I'll pack it in for tonight. I need to feed the critters and have a snack and go to sleep.

I keep forgetting to post a picture of my sunflowers. They make me smile. sunflowers.jpg
