Mid-Week Update

 

"Hello Blog Friends"

Dancer says hello to all his blog friends, up close and personal!

This week is a week of medical appointments for me.  On Monday, I had a blood test.  On Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment.  On Wednesday, I had a dentist appointment and, on the way back, I picked up Dancer's medication refills from the pharmacy.  On Thursday, I need to call to make another dental appointment with a different dentist I was referred to and make an appointment with a dermatologist.  On Friday, I have an appointment with the oncology nurse practitioner.  I still need to make an appointment to have my eyes checked for new glasses as that's something else I have been putting off doing.  

In between medical appointments and filling out forms for said appointments, I have done a few household tasks including watering the back garden and the indoor plants, doing several loads of laundry as daughter unpacks her boxes and takes out quilts and blankets, some meal planning and cooking, etc.  I've been trying to keep up with the general housework, but, feeling very slightly overwhelmed.  

Daughter has been busy unpacking her boxes and we decided we needed more storage to house everything, so, we've ordered a shelving unit and another sideboard for the family room which is in the process of being turned into a crafts room, as well, because it is the room where we prefer to sit in and do crafts. The spare bedroom has become even more of a storage room and will remain so until we can get the rest of the house organized.  Combining the contents of two households is a bit of a challenge, right now.

The new furniture should be delivered next week and once daughter assembles the items, we will rearrange the family room.  Then, we will most probably sort out the kitchen to make room for daughter's kitchen appliances, such as her air fryer. 

Mid-week, I am grateful for:
- Access to health care
- Safe drives to various appointments and back
- Dancer's medications are available
- Daughter's help with some computer-related matters
- M's help with the garden

Joyful activities have included exchanging emails and phone calls with friends, reading, time spent in the garden.

How is your week coming along?
