The Week from — Well, You Know

 Was it a bad week?  No, not really, just busy.  I am not an active person anymore and except for the occasional medical appointment and picking up the Bean, my time is pretty much my own.

Until this week.

Monday found me at the vet with Trixie.  A couple of months ago she had a UTI which we treated but alas, it doesn’t seem that the treatment worked so here we are on UTI —The Sequel.  More meds but these aren’t flavored so I am using pill pockets which she absolutely loves.  Hickory Smoked.  Best treats in the world.  Yep.




Tuesday found us at the dentist on the other side of town which is about a 45 minute drive because we choose to travel the semi-sane back streets as opposed to the Highway from H—-.  This is DFW you know and the traffic is terrible.  So, we had our cleanings and I sat in the lobby ordering a cordless waterpik from Amazon.  My bathroom is weird and I have a very long vanity with my sink at one end and the electrical outlet at the other.  Very inconvenient so I opted for the cordless variety of waterpik.  I received it and will let you know how it works when I finally get it organized.  I know, I know.



Then, that afternoon we found ourselves at our granddaughter’s school for a band concert.  It was good but I have no photos.  It was early evening which pretty much conflicted with our dinner which is bad because of my husband’s schedule for his diabetes.  But, we had a large lunch and he snacked quickly for dinner and off we went

Wednesday and Thursday we attended our oldest and youngest granddaughter’s dance recitals.  They were supposed to be fairly short like mini recitals. Ha! We were there for three and a half hours each.  Again I have no photos, just video I took and my DIL doesn’t like their photos on the internet which I respect.  The first recital was my youngest, on Wednesday and she did a good job and the routines were cute.  The recital last night was my oldest granddaughter and she also did a good job.  The programs, however, were almost identical so it was like a re-run — it was tiring. 

Tonight I have Girl Scouts.  I am not going.  They are just going to have to Scout without me.  It will be fine.

On Wednesday we went to the Tempurpedic store to buy me some new pillows because my shoulder has been hurting and I decided the culprit was my 8 year old pillows.  On our way out of the store a person was pushing one of those large plastic bins they use in retail to tote linens and pillows and things — about 6 ft. tall — well, the guy pushing didn’t see my husband holding the door open and my husband didn’t see him coming and there was a collision.  There were no injuries but he knocked my husband off his feet about a foot away and you could see the fear of litigation in his eyes.  I was yelling “watch out, watch out” yet nobody heard me or paid attention and whack!  He seems to be ok, not sure about the other guy.

This week, with all the activity, has left me well off my routine of doing what little I do.  I am now re-washing the cup towels for the third time because I keep forgetting to put them in the dryer.  Lazy cow I am.  So, I guess I am off to stand over the washer so I don’t do it again.

Have a great Friday!

Thanks, Pommy! He hasn’t said anything about being stiff or sore so I assume he is good. People need to watch where they are going!

Update

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
