On Wednesday

 

A Rose from the Past

I didn't take any new pictures on Wednesday, so am posting a picture of a rose from earlier this year.

Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone.  I appreciate them very much.

Wednesday was sunny and warm with a daytime high of 76F.  I sat outside in the backyard in the morning, enjoying the sunshine and the warmth while I waited for M to arrive.  He brought me more succulents cuttings.  

In the early afternoon, the gas company technician stopped by to check my wall heater.  Of course it worked perfectly, without any delayed ignition when he was here! He switched it on and off a few times, had me switch it on and off, and it worked just fine.  He said he believed me when I said there was a delayed ignition, but, since it didn't happen while he was here, there was nothing he could do.  He suggested I called the company who installed this heater and complain to them, but, I've done that, already and the person they sent out to check it said that's just the way it is!  The gas company tech said I could continue to use the heater with caution and to call back if there is a bigger problem.  Of course, later in the evening, when I switched it on, there was a delayed ignition!  Sigh.

Later in the afternoon, I took a nap on the sofa.  After I woke up, I made us coffee and tea and watched the evening news.

We had leftovers and cold cuts sandwiches for our meals, today, with pears and tangerines for fruit and blueberry compote with whipped cream for dessert.

My daughter had a phone appointment with her doctor and she has been referred to a podiatrist since her ankle hasn't healed as quickly as expected.  Later in the evening, after work, she had a virtual crafts night with two of her friends.

On Wednesday, I was grateful for:

- The sunny, warm day
- M bringing me more plant cuttings and helping me with the garden
- The gas company tech checking the heater (a free service)
- Water for the garden
- Leftovers for meals

Wednesday's joyful activity was enjoying the sunshine in the garden.  

Plans for Thursday include going to pick up a medication refill that is ready at the pharmacy.

How was your Wednesday?  What are your plans for Thursday?
