excellent report at my recent appointment with my doctor…
both my blood pressure and A1C results were good and after some conversation we agreed that I don’t need to have my A1C tested for six months… and I don’t need to have my blood pressure checked until then either…
so I don’t need to see him again until July, woohoo…
he had mentioned last time that he may have to let go of some of his patients as everyone has come back after not seeing a doctor for two or three years and the load is just too heavy and isn’t slowing down at all…
that made me worry a bit, but while we were talking he advised that he won’t let any of his seniors go… a weight off my shoulders, lol…
last week a staff person from Dynacare came by to do my blood work…
over the last few years I’ve seen four or five of their staff… this time is was a fellow whose been quite a few times…he’s very efficient and I didn’t even feel the needle go in;-)…
I wore the bandaid for a while and when I removed it, there was only a tiny pink spot without any bruising…
although my healthcare plan doesn’t cover the cost it feels worth it to have them come by the house…
spent an hour and a half wandering through The Leaf in the daytime…
we took ample time to search out the plants as we wandered through the tropical biome… and we found the cacao tree;-)…
the waterfall continues to over perform…
I am betting that there are people working very hard to figure out how to end up with less splash, lol…
I spent at lot of time on the bridge, watching the beautiful koi swimming around the pond… a lovely treat;-)…
there were a lot of people there, but it didn’t feel too crowded… we wore masks but the majority of others didn’t… since I was last in the space there have been large fans added, so there did appear to be a lot of noise, but once through the doors into the Mediterranean biome, it was quiet…
the Shirley Richardson Butterfly Garden was a much busier place with numerous butterflies flitting about… it is always fun to search for the ones that have landed and are blending in with the foliage… as visitors move through this area they are quiet and will sit and patiently watch the action…
there are two elevators to take you up to the canopy and the Butterfly Garden and only one was working… seems to slow the flow down a bit…
there was ample space for jackets in the coat room, many volunteers to answer questions and direct the flow of people, and lots of open space…
had lunch with my buddies on Monday to celebrate a couple of birthdays…
ordered from Spice Circle the day before and we picked it up… we always need to check because many restaurants are closed on Mondays, which we have learned the hard way, lol…
we had a variety of items and found the food hot and tasty… my goat thali was very nice… the one thing I might change was the packaging as it didn’t all fit into one container…
but there were leftovers for another meal for everyone;-)…
the project for Saturday was to return the regular mugs to the cupboard and put away the Christmas/holiday ones…
first thing I did was go into the office to get the boxes out from under the dresser…
and they weren’t there… even got down on my knees to be sure…
kind of freaked out wondering if I had accidentally put them in the giveaway pile which had gone out before the holidays;-(…
looked in the basement, kitchen and all over the messy computer room again… then I checked in the den closet and there they sat… clearly I put them in there knowing they would end up upstairs, but thinking I would save some steps when it came time to repack them…
whew… that got the blood pumping, lol…
didn’t take too long to get them changed over and looking good…
they sat on the stairway and then made it upstairs to wait for next Christmas…
and they will go to the spot I expect them to be…
in the dresser, in the office closet, not underneath it, with a label on the front🤪…
