On Friday

On Friday, I had my appointment with the oncology nurse practitioner for a routine check up and bone density booster injection.  My appointment was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and I left the house a little before 12:00 noon.  I got to the clinic at exactly 1:00 p.m.  There was about a 10 minutes wait before I got called in to be seen.  The examination went well, but, there was a bit of a delay to get the injection.  As a result, it was past 3:00 p.m. when I left the clinic.  The good news is, I have officially lost 5 lbs. since my last visit which as at the end of May.  Not a phenomenal weight loss, but, I'll take it!  I still need to lose a little more weight but the goal seems more attainable now.

It was 4:00 p.m. by the time I got home and I was tired.  But, the dermatologist's office had messaged me asking me to call or text back to make an appointment, and I wanted to get that done right away so it wouldn't be hanging over me over the long weekend.  So, I called right away and set up the appointment.  The earliest they had available was mid-September and I took it.  

After that, I was ready to relax and eat something, as I hadn't eaten in the morning before I left for the oncology nurse appointment; just a cup of tea.  Daughter had already eaten bread and chicken curry for brunch, so I warmed up a frozen burrito and ate half of it.  Later in the night, daughter made us a salad and I had a scrambled egg with a slice of toast while daughter ate the other half of the burrito.

M was here in the evening and he tended to the garden, watering it and tidying it up a bit.

Later in the evening, I did two more loads of laundry, including my Fan quilt.

I had planned to vacuum and put the living room back in order on Friday, but, I was too tired to do so.  It was a warm day, with a high in the low 90s and even with the drapes closed to keep the setting sun out, the living room was hot and stuffy.  My plan is to vacuum it on Saturday morning.  

On Friday, I was grateful for:

- Access to medical care
- Health insurance
- A safe drive to the clinic and back
- M's help with the garden
- Losing 5 lbs.

Friday's joyful activity was having a phone chat with my aunt.

Plans for Saturday include tidying up the living room, putting away the washed quilts and blankets, and taking daughter to her friend's apartment to spend the afternoon together and picking her up, later.  

How was your Friday?  What are your plans for the holiday weekend?
