Dave and I want to thank everyone that commented on our circumstances yesterday. I wish we would have been that lucky today, but a minor glitch spoiled his morning anyway.

He was on his way to measure the fit of the carpet in the bus and grab my laptop because he needed a document for my son when he texted me a few minutes later and said “this is how my morning started” with a picture of the jeep at the shop. Flat tire.

Luckily, the charge was low; under $30, and he was on his way. I thought he would be gone for a while, but he was back about an hour or so later. He had the laptop, and a couple of his old thumb drives, which is where he found the document. I’d forgotten to put the charging chord back into the laptop case. He said the fit of the carpet was close, but he can trim a piece and make it perfect!

I have physical therapy this afternoon, so I skipped my exercise but did take a walk. I also did household chores, and made a salad to go with brats for dinner, so now I only need to make the mac and cheese. I wanted to paint today, but didn’t have time…maybe tomorrow afternoon once I get back from my appointment to get a CT.

One more VA appt is all I have after that, this one on a Sunday!! That is for a sonogram. My guess is so my primary will know what I’m saying is true about my PKD. I don’t know why else she would want one, since it has nothing to do with my back. I did mention at my last appointment with her that I would be leaving my current nephrologist and eventually letting the VA take over that job. So maybe it’s so she can line me up with one at a future date.

The CT is for my back, so I’m anxious for the doctors to see it and decide what else to do for me before we get back on the road. Other than all that, we need to lay the carpet, set the backsplash and buy all the new furniture before we leave. Anyone want to loan us another $5,000? Haha, just kidding. We will manage just fine.

On my walk it was very heavy, hot, and difficult to breathe. I suspect storms are on the horizon again for this afternoon. And just to think, we were actually in the pool yesterday! It was 96° then, it’s 81° now. I don’t recall being able to be in the pool this early in the year, but Dave disagrees. Course, he always does. 😜
