Up early, we have a dental appointment at 08:00 for her deep cleaning.

It ended up being a pouring rain when we got into the car. Even in the rain we managed to get to the dentist a bit early. We were in the chair before 8 (Our appt time) and had to wait on the dentist to arrive. I went shopping at Kroger while she was being worked on, we were back home around 9:30. I took blue to get the emissions done, I had a little help in this endeavor. I renewed our license plates and we took a nap before dinner.

We warmed up the round steak that we prepared on Sunday for lunch, it was pretty good I must say.

We decided to have some fun, so we drove to Longhorn in Swanee for dinner. She got steak and I got my usual Strawberry salad. I did indulge myself and had a shot of Royal Crown whisky. The entire crew of the restaurant sang Happy Birthday and brought her a cake alamode. We are still having issues with Express Scripts.

Tuesday

Beautiful bright sunny day and Turkey Chili for lunch. I did manage to get the Express Scripts website to load after two weeks of trying. I also purchased Microsoft Office 365 for all my computers. I bought one license for her computer and then Microsoft offered one for half what I paid on the computer in the den. I cancelled the license for her computer and will load mine when her trial period expires.

Our friends took us out to dinner at the 57th fighter group. That’s a very interesting building and good food as well.

When we got back to their house, they served us with cheesecake for her birthday.

We had a really good day.

Wednesday

We went to Longhorn’s for lunch, we gave the entire crew $20 each.

Everyone came out to wish her Happy birthday at the end of our meal with a piece of cake. We went over to the friend’s house for Church tonight.

Thursday

We got to Longhorn well before they opened for lunch after Dr. Appointment so we stopped by Payless Shoes.

She got some good look’n and fitting shoes for cheap! ($30)

We then went to Longhorn for lunch and gave the entire crew $50 each this time! We took a good long nap and I worked on my pill dispenser for a couple hours. I have an issue with my feet going numb and that can be because of blood pressure medicines. I separated all my meds into four different dispensing periods and subdivided that into a total of eight periods.

I have a couple of issues at night, so I adjusted my pill schedule. There are four “Alarm” times about 4 hours apart. Each dispensing time has two medications in that slot. The idea is to put the second medication in the medicine cap to be taken later.

We were supposed to get severe storms, it did rain but I would not call it anywhere near severe.

Friday

Up at midnight with a yeast infection that had to be dealt with, I am too tired to write very much. I did make a pot of coffee and sipped on that during the wee hours of the morning. I took a shower very early this morning and was able to lay back down. I managed to get about 6 hours of sleep last night. Took a shower with the wife and I am making a bit more coffee for this morning.

We drove to Whole Foods and picked up some frosted bran flakes and a few other things. We then drove to our favorite lunch spot where we had a healthy lunch. Back home we took a good long nap before watching a bit of TV and eating dinner.

Saturday

We had planned on eating chicken but ended heading out to Longhorn’s for lunch. up at Longhorn’s for lunch. (We took our pills with us but failed to take them.) On our way out of the driveway a friend called delaying our departure.

This mom and her two children walked by carrying a large bag of clothes. She had set the bag down twice by the time she got to the top of the hill, so it was heavy.

We caught up to them and gave them our beach cart to carry their heavy bag.
I managed to find them walking back from the laundry mat about an hour later, they looked very happy! I actually bought that beach cart for this purpose, people are always walking by us with a heavy load and no wheels!

We went to Longhorn’s and the parking lot was empty, so we gave the entire crew $20 each.

Lunch was excellent cept for the salad had very little lettuce for an $18 salad.
(Which is strange since that’s the cheap part of the salad.)

Longhorn’s on Hugh Howell has always served us with a balanced plate of lettuce and fixings!

Well, time to finish up this draft and eat my evening sandwich.
