Wednesday should have come with a reset button! I was feeling out of sorts all day and trying to regain my equilibrium.
I called the pharmacy in the morning because they had called, on Tuesday evening, but, the only message they left was saying it was the pharmacy calling. However, when I called, they didn't have a record of them calling and the person I spoke to didn't know who called or why; she said there was nothing that was ready for pick up yet. But, she did ask me if I needed anything, which was nice and since I didn't need anything, we were fine.
Then, I called and scheduled the mammogram and bone density scan the oncologist had ordered (the authorization came in the mail, last week).
I had also received an email confirmation for my lab test appointment. This is really the first time I've made an appointment with the lab (as opposed to going in as a walk-in). They sent me a code to be scanned when I show up for my appointment, which, I tried to print out, but, couldn't as my printer is no longer connected to my laptop (daughter set it up for me, but, the connection seems to have disappeared and I don't think I know how to reconnect it, myself). The email was sent to the one email account I don't have access to on my phone (it was one of the apps I had to delete from my phone in order to free up enough storage space to download the mobile banking app to be able to deposit those two checks, earlier). Instead, I tried to send it to my other account that I can access on my cellphone (as I use it to upload my photos to the computer). But, then, I made a mistake typing in my own email address and sent it to probably someone else! I wondered why I didn't receive the email and sent it again - to the wrong address, again! I didn't realize what I had done until I mentioned it to my daughter and she pointed out that I hadn't entered the full email address! I managed to forward it to myself, eventually. Oh, but, I felt so STUPID and chagrined, that I felt like crying! As I told one of my friends, my brain has turned into mush!
I also managed to stub my stubbed toe, again! I was watering the garden and the side yard is uneven. My ankle rolled a bit, and I stubbed my toe. Fortunately, I was wearing socks and shoes, so that cushioned my toe a little bit. Even so, it throbbed and I've been icing it ever since!
On the plus side, I found a second cantaloupe growing on one of the vines in the side yard!
Friend R called to say she was ordering some stuff from the Sri Lankan store and asked if I needed anything, more tea, etc. I thanked her, but, said I didn't need anything. I have 4 boxes of tea and that should last me awhile. I offered to pick up her order for her, but, she said she will have it delivered. It was very kind of her to ask if I needed anything, though.
I practiced the piano, watched news, and a performance on public TV ("Ellis Island: The Dream of America").
Today, I am grateful for:
- The day is over
- Friend R's kind offer
- Daughter's help and encouragement
- Another cantaloupe on the vine
- Tomorrow will be a new day
How was your Wednesday? Do you ever experience days when you wish you could hit a reset button and start all over, again?
Yes, sometimes there are days like that! But I always like to remind myself it is such a blessing to live and be healthy! Have a lovely day☺
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right, it is a blessing to be alive and healthy! Especially these days! Thank you, hope you, too, have a lovely day. :)
DeleteI love cantaloupe
ReplyDeleteI do, too, Regine. First time I've tried to grow them, though! :)
DeleteSometimes you just have one of those days where things that should be so simple, just aren't. I had one of those days the other day at work. I should have been able to figure out the answer to some questions, but had to ask for help. Luckily, I have very kind co-workers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Live and Learn. Kind co-workers are a blessing, aren't they? But, I'm sure they know that you'll be as kind and helpful if it had been the other way around.
DeleteI'm having a day like that today (Thursday) so you have my sympathy. Sorry to hear you've hurt your toe again and I hope it has done any additional damage but just aggravated the initial problem.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow is much better for you xx
I'm sorry you are having a day like that, today, Eileen. Hope it gets better as the day progresses. I am experiencing a little more pain in the toe, but, it seems like the swelling has gone down, a bit, so, hopefully, I didn't do any more damage!
DeleteThank you; hope you, too, have a better day.
Some days the biggest joy is getting into bed and having it end!
ReplyDeleteAnd you reminded me, I need to have Son3 check my printer!
Thank you, Anne. I feel defeated by technology, some days. :(
DeleteTechnology almost got the better of me a couple of months ago when I went to do my Walmart grocery pickup. I had already been doing it for months with no problems. But then they changed the rules to no phone calls into their office when you arrive for your pickup. We had to use their Ap to notify them we were there. I attempted to download their Ap and it advised it would take 30 minutes. I was beginning to tear up and about that time one of the workers stopped buy to get my name to verify I had checked in and I told them my dilemma and they checked in for me. I was so grateful for their kindness because I was afraid I would not get my groceries. I never have been able to notify them with the Ap when I arrive but they are back to accepting phoning in so it is not as stressful as it had been. I work on a computer all day long but this made me feel like I would never be able to get any groceries since I could not figure out how it worked!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone was able to help and download the app for you, Diana, and you were able to get your groceries. That's good that the store went back to phoning in; I imagine there were lots of complaints from customers who couldn't get the app to work.
DeleteDon't feel badly about the e-mail slip up. I don't think we humans are meant to be experts with all this computer stuff and it is a miracle that so many, especially the young, manage to handle it all! I just wish I knew how to connect my computer to our printer which was bought so that it would print from any machine that was set up correctly. Obviously mine isn't! On the plus side, it saves me from wasting paper printing stuff unnecessarily. If it is important, I just e-mail it to DH and he prints it straight away.
ReplyDeleteI went grocery shopping this morning and a friend came round this afternoon as arranged, to sit in the garden and visit.
Thank you, Bushlady. My daughter walked me through the installation of the printer, this evening - it had been installed at one time, but, apparently it got uninstalled? Anyway, it is now working, but, it needs new printer ink. However, she told me how to get it to print in black and white for now, until she can order me some new printer ink.
DeleteGlad you were able to get your grocery shopping done - are you still going every 8-10 days? Glad you were able to visit with your friend too. :)
Oh no - and I was just saying how I was glad your toe was starting to feel better :(
ReplyDeleteThose electronic mishaps can be so frustrating.
Yes, as I said in my reply to your earlier comment, the toe is an on-going saga! :D But, it is still attached to my foot, so we are good! :D
DeleteMy daughter talked me through reinstalling the printer, this evening! Of course, once it was connected, it said it was low on ink and refused to print, but, we changed the setting to black and white and I was able to print something. I will try printing the code to be scanned, tomorrow. But, I am still shaking my head about emailing someone else, even if it was a very similar email address! Sigh. I guess I really need to focus and concentrate on what I am doing!
Days such as these can leave us feeling disheartened and as though nothing will ever go right. I hope today will be an improvement. I also hope your toe is a feeling better. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. Yes, it was one of those days. But, thankfully, it is in the past now and the next day was better. :)
