monday - debit card activity

Went to yoga a the gym this morning.
Got bored and went to add gasoline, where my debit card was denied and later I got an email saying a $125.00 charge on it was denied. I phoned the bank immediately, at the number printed on the back of the card, and was assured nothing was wrong and there was nothing for me to do or change about my card. The problem, "Wesley" said was with the vendor, not my card.
I ended up putting $15 cash in my gas tank somewhere else and then I went to Publix and picked up a couple of things.
Phoned Karen during my walk to see how her new-patient appointment today was. She said it was great. The new doctor seems sharp and is much younger than "Dr. Chaos".

Sunday - Now Don and Alexa know

I made it to the walking Meetup this morning. Then I came home, showered, and made a blueberry pie to take tonight.

We had dinner at Bob and Karen's house with Don and Alexa. This was the night they told Don and Alexa about Karen's latest diagnosis, which is very bad.
They were, of course, immediately supportive and reassuring.
Sadly, MonsterMusDie had to complain about Karen and Bob talking too much about her prognosis as soon as we got home. He is such a selfish little man, I hate living with him.

Saturday

Woke up with a slight headache, which was probably due to not drinking enough water yesterday. That's my guess.
Went to the "Out Of The Box" closing reception at the TAG gallery late this afternoon. Had a lovely talk with Jeghetto about paper sculpture and puppetry. He was there with his teenage son, who was nearly as tall as him. Very nice man who's seen some great things with similar artists all over the world. He was, of course, familiar with Center For Puppetry Arts and even worked there on some projects. He is also familiar with PaperHand Puppet Project and Bread & Puppet theatre.

Friday

Despite taking a hydrOXYzine HCL 10mg tablet last night at bedtime to sleep better, I still woke up with my right shoulder aching at 4:00 AM. It did not last as long as last time but it was enough to wake me. I was able to get back to sleep until 7:00 AM.
I went out with Karen to IKEA and it became an all-day trip. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant she knew on the way, Shopped every inch of IKEA. Waited out the heaviest part of a thunderstorm in the store, then loaded Karen's new stovetop in the car and walked through TJ-Maxx before heading home.

Lots of walking around IKEA today.

thursday

I had no plans today. Anyone I know is working or out of town.

I made it to Cardio Dance class for the first time in two weeks and did better than I expected to.
Came home after the gym, rested, showered, and made a salad + mac and cheese for dinner.
Then I went to a new MeetUp (Thrive) at the local independent coffee shop.

wednesday

Starting at 1:20 AM last night, my right shoulder was aching. The pain, which started at my shoulder and radiated across the muscle on the front of my chest, was enough to keep waking me up. It had mostly subsided by the time I got up at 6:45 AM.

Today is completely empty. Whoever I know is working or out of town and there are no public events that I can find.

Tuesday

I just realized I played myself on exercise this evening. I made plans to walk with neighbors to walk at 6:30pm and my favorite workout, Power30, is Tuesdays at 6:00pm.
I will choose social activity over gym if it comes down to that by I really wish I had looked at the calendar yester day while making plans and suggested walking at 7:15pm instead. Really want to spend more time getting to know neighbors.
The neighbors all cancelled out of walking together late in the afternoon and I could have gone to the gym but I could not wrap my head around it by then. I am not mentally in High Point yet after the last two weeks. I'm not ready to move on yet.

Monday - home again

It's been a Hell of a month.
I should never ever go to any mechanic unless I am accompanied by a male.
This past weekend is probably the last trip I will ever make with MonsterMustDie, although I'm glad he was able to go with me to Nicky's memorial.
I love and miss my friends.
I wish my family cared.

Three Sisters + Two Nieces + One Granddaughter

I am leaving home to spend the weekend with Jennifer today. I am planning to be there until Monday.
Jeanne and her youngest daughter are also coming up from Cocoa, Florida to be with Jennifer and Gaby after Jennifer's injury from a lawn mower. This will be my first time to meet them face to face. I hope I can be helpful to Jennifer while she is healing. It's going to take a long time for her to recover. They can only be in North Carolina for the weekend because they have jobs and lives to go back to.

We made plans for dinner with Karen and Bob at their house tonight.
It's already too hot to be outdoors today, IMHO, at 10:00 a.m.

I went to Cardio Dance class in the gym in the afternoon. It was a good, especially tiring class.

Wednesday - Women's Night Zoom

I slept well last night. Got a text from Karen just as I went to bed, saying she's been very busy and asking if we wanted to join them for dinner the next night. She apologized for not being in touch. I told her there is nothing to apolgize for. I just assumed she is terribly busy with her projects. Also let her know I already have plans tonight for the Women's Night Zoom meeting with friends.

Zoom was well-attended. Everyone but Kim and Lisa.

sleepless

Woke up at 2:00 AM and could not go back to sleep. Fed the cat a snack and unloaded the dishwasher. Made some tea. Tried not to wake up MonsterMustDie.
I went back to bed around 3:30 and slept until 7:00 AM.
I walked outside, pulled up the empty trash bin, and went down the internet rabbit hole until 10:00 AM.
I spent a lot of my time early this morning trying to edit and add photos to my Flickr albums to share with friends and family.

monday

No plans today. I walked out after MonsterMustDie left for work and pulled the bins down to the curb for tomorrow morning's pickup.
I didn't go to Yoga class this morning because there was no parking available near the gym and I did not give myself enough time to walk. The only available parking spaces I saw were in the lot for Surgery patients only at the hospital.
