The gynecologist's office called to say that the ultra sound referral has been authorized. They will mail me a copy of the authorization so I can call and make the appointment. We agreed that I will do the ultra sound, first, and then, when the results are in, I will make an appointment to redo the other test. That way, if the ultra sound results need to be discussed, that can be done at the same time.
I've been drinking my water, today. I realized that I drink more water when it is at room temperature than when it is iced! I am on my 9th cup of water.
In the evening, I vacuumed the house and started cleaning the kitchen (didn't quite finish).
Then, it was time to go to the airport to pick up my daughter. She's home for the weekend to attend her friend's bridal shower (especially since she's one of the bridesmaids).
Daughter flies into the Burbank airport, which is closer to my home than the Los Angeles International Airport, and which is a much smaller airport and not quite as busy. Today, however, it was rather busy, with a long line of vehicles driving up to pick up or drop off passengers. As I approached the arrivals area, I saw a space between two vehicles and I pulled in there, trying hard not to hit a woman who was standing in the road, waiting for her ride. At the same time, I heard the parking attendant yell at her to stand on the curb. My daughter was waiting at the curb for me and in the minute or so she took to reach the car, the car in front of me pulled out. I suppose I should have pulled forward, but, my daughter had already opened the door to put in her carry-on bag and I didn't want to move forward, in case something happened to her! That angered the woman who was waiting for the car behind me and I got called a "rude b---h" and a "f-----g" something or the other...I didn't hear the rest of it because daughter had already got into the car by then and we left! I wasn't at the curb for more than two minutes! The whole incident left me feeling a bit shaken, however, and daughter was angry on my behalf. Oh, well, at least we weren't shot at, and, as I told my daughter, I have something to blog about, tonight!
On the way home from the airport, we stopped at the grocery store to buy some half-and-half for daughter's morning coffee (it was something I was going to do earlier today, but, didn't). We had salmon and rice for dinner, with lentils, green peas, and tomato chutney. Fresh mangoes for dessert.
Tomorrow, daughter's friend will give daughter a ride to the bridal shower. Afterwards, her friend, who is also going to be a bridesmaid, will bring her bridesmaid dress to be shortened. I need to shorten daughter's dress, too.
Today's joyful activity is being with daughter.

How was your Friday? What are your plans for Saturday?
Yay !! Your daughter is back! Have fun😁
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry you encountered such a rude entitled person. Some people are really crazy.
Thank you, Nil. You know we will (and probably eat too much, too!) :D
DeleteYes, it spoiled what was, otherwise, a joyful moment of seeing my daughter, again. As my daughter observed, the rude person was the one saying the rude words!
Hi Bless, I like Burbank airport, too. You can also take the train. It's less stressful. I was driving home from Las Vegas yesterday. Today I am making goat's milk soap.
ReplyDeleteThe Burbank airport is usually a less chaotic place, but, last night, it was very crowded. Hope you had a safe drive home; I've never been to Vegas! Enjoy your soap making. :)
DeleteI am the same way with the water temp. I will prefer to grab a bottle of water that is from the pantry storage, rather than from the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that we prefer room temperature water! Which reminds me, I should go drink some water! Hope you are having a good day, One Family.
DeleteI don't know why people think they have the right to confront others when they are not doing what THEY think should be done. As a nation we have gotten so used to having things done immediately that we have lost the art of patience and waiting. TheHub recites something he read years ago about prisons and prison reform that if angered people would wait 20 seconds before reacting, their emotional rage would subside enough that our prison populations would be reduced by 1/3. I don't know that it is true but it makes sense. Like you said you didn't get shot at, but why was such a visceral reaction to a very short wait needed to begin with.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Anne, but I think that people no longer feel a need to be civil to others. "Common courtesy" is not so common, any more!
DeleteI guess the iced water was too cold for me? I was rather taken aback at her outburst, but, it takes all kinds, I guess. Thank you, I will! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed, Bless. 😉
ReplyDeleteThank you, Akasha. I do feel blessed. :)
DeleteThat person behind you must have been very stressed to have reacted so badly. Or they just have problems in general to react so rudely in that circumstance. But your daughter is home and all is well.
ReplyDeleteYes, my daughter is home for the weekend and we've enjoyed a fun day. :)
DeleteGood to hear that you had a nice long sleep! Maybe you will be able to keep an earlier bedtime again.
ReplyDeleteI often drink water poured from the kettle that has cooled down. The slightly warm water suits me well.
As for the aggressive woman, I feel sorry for her letting a few seconds delay fire up her anger! It's no fun to live like that, besides being upsetting for you and any others who come within range of her lack of control.
I hope you have a lovely visit with your daughter, and of course you will enjoy hearing about the bridal shower. Dancer may even sort himself out! :D
Thank you, Bushlady. Today, I tried mint leaves in the water and I enjoyed that, very much.
DeleteYes, I found yesterday's incidence a bit upsetting; but, it is what it is, as they say. There seems to be a lot of angry people out there!
We've had a good day, today, and Dancer has chosen the coffee table as his preferred sleeping spot for now! :)
Your cat made me smile ☺☺
ReplyDeleteHe sleeps in the oddest positions at times! I keep telling him, "That can't be comfortable", but, apparently, he doesn't think so!
DeleteI'm behind with my reading once more! I'm happy your daughter is home once again but I'm sorry you encountered such a rude and inconsiderate person at the airport. Completely unnecessary. I'm not surprised you were shaken up. People seem to be getting more and more angry these days. X
ReplyDeleteThank you; I'm enjoying having her home, again. Yes, people seem to have a very short fuse, these days. One never knows what might set off someone, how it might escalate, and what it might lead to! But, nothing worse than name calling took place, this time, thank goodness!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about the rudeness and hope you've managed to put it out if your mind ... easier said than done, I know. Enjoy your time with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen; yes, I'm trying, although it still bothers me, a bit. Got to learn to let go of these things. I've had a wonderful time with my daughter being home. :)
DeleteSorry to hear about the incident. How horrible and unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eloise. Yes, it upset me for a bit, but, I'm trying to put it behind me.
