We went to church Saturday as usual and then to Cracker Barrel where we ran into the "we are understaffed" problem. Our food took forever. Ted had to ask twice for his soup that finally came lukewarm. When the people who came after us got served very quickly we asked to have our food checked on. She reported they were very busy in the back but it would be out shortly. When she brought it she informed me she had to bring me the second piece of fish! Who cooks one piece of fish at a time?
Sunday was the Newcomers Annual Social and I attended. You had the opportunity to visit with friends, meet new ones and pursue interests for the coming year. I signed up for some groups - mah jong, Shanghai, 3-13, movie group, day trippers, etc. I didn’t have my calendar with me so I may not be able to attend all I expressed interest in.
I kept my endodontist appointment when an earlier one came available. Sure enough, I need a root canal but I have to wait two weeks. But now it doesn’t hurt! When she put those frozen cotton balls on different spots I yelped in the appropriate spots. I guess I should be glad the pain stopped since I have to wait so long to have it taken care of.
I didn’t do anything much but continued cleaning closets and getting my grocery list ready for our company. They arrived on Saturday, too late for them to eat with us after church. They ate at a restaurant before coming to our house.
I had made a tray of lasagna and invited John and Irene for dinner on Sunday. Monday she had us and another couple for Labor Day. Carol started her doctor appointments and we all went to the country club for dinner and cards on Tuesday. Best part was minimal cooking.
Our company was busy all week getting all their doctor appointments in. They were also keeping in touch with the Alabama real estate market. It wasn’t said but I would think "sofa surfing" has gotten old. They have been visiting their family in four different locations while taking short trips to other cities in Alabama where they stayed in motels. Two and a half months is a long time doing that.
I just kept things moving at home. We seemed to be very busy but I don’t recall doing anything special. Thursday we had to attend a funeral at noon. When we returned at 1:30 they were all excited with two houses they had found. We had dinner and they spent a lot of time researching and emailing.
Friday they decided to leave because her Friday appointment had been moved to a zoom next week. They could make their way to Mississippi for overnight and get to these two houses early Saturday. We all are staying tuned.
We went to church but came home to eat the remaining lasagna we had put in the freezer. It tasted even better the second time. I put my feet up Sunday.
We had baseline heart tests on Monday, set up last June before we left for the summer. Ted had a nuclear stress test and heart ultrasound. I had both of these plus an ultrasound on both my legs. We were there close to four hours. We go back Monday for our results and any medication adjustments they think are necessary.
I played 3-13 on Tuesday. Hurricane Nicholas barely skirted our area so there was no reason to cancel! I came in second for a change. Tomorrow is my root canal. Not much to write about.
I survived my root canal! An hour and a half of my mouth held wide open with a wire frame. I came home, took Tylenol, put an ice slush bag on my pillow and went to sleep. I felt better when I woke up. This morning it still hurts so I guess I will take more Tylenol. I have to make an appointment with my dentist to have the temporary filling replaced with a permanent one with in two weeks. Yuck!
This hasn’t been an exciting blog to read so I will share a few photos.
