It was a busy day here at the Bratfarm. The Beast and I got up, dressed and headed off to the doctor's office to get my appointment set up for my colonoscopy. It's set for April 24th at 11pm. It will be done at *day patient*, which is another name for the outpatient area of the hospital. Phew! The doctor's office is actually inside the part of the hospital that has doctors offices. I had to give them my insurance cards, my drivers license and fill out three different forms that will be used for my folder.
I sure wish the forms were all the same and you could fill them out just once and make copies to take with you to a new doctor's office. Okay, so you might have to change or add to them if you have new surgeries or medications added/subtracted but that would be minor. But life is never that organized, is it?
It was actually hot out today. It got up to 87 which was hotter than the forecast but I am not complaining. The Beast took out my fan (it needs cleaning) and gave me one he had already cleaned off. He pressure cleans them and lets them dry off before using them in another room. He's developed a technique that doesn't get any water in the motor which is actually pretty well covered. He allows a couple days of drying time ... just in case. He's been doing this for a couple years so he's pretty good at it now.
He put the air conditioner in the kitchen window and I had to give him a hand with that. After he got it all installed, he went around it to seal it up so we don't get any bugs of any kind that can get in through cracks. Not satisfied with what he had accomplished for the day, he went out and cleaned up more of the garden area. We actually have a lot more of it to clear out but we can do that in the next couple days. I'm going out to thin out the strawberry bed. It's grown so much that the sun can't get at the little berries. That's a problem with strawberries. They propagate easily and quickly. Just drop one or two strawberries and leave them on the ground and you can get overgrown. LOL! But I would rather have a lot of good strawberries like we usually get than have a couple hundred plants that hardly produce. Wouldn't you?
I started pulling out my summer clothes and packing up my winter ones. I realized that I have more summer clothes than winter ones but....a lot of them no longer fit me. I put a pair of summer weight slacks on that I bought two summers ago in Chicago and they damn near fell off me! I was stunned. But I looked and they are a size 14. I must be back in a size 10 again. Now I have to go out to the cottage to the clothes I have stored there and see if I kept my size 10's or not. Otherwise, I have to buy some clothes. *Sigh* I just tried on my size 10 shorts that I had in the summer clothes here and, hurrah!, they fit. LOL.
I tried to help the Beast sort through his clothes to get his winter shirts put away but he said he would do that himself this weekend since we are supposed to have storms and he won't be able to do anything outside. We also have to move our winter coats and jackets out of the coat closet.
I didn't mention that Sheepie never made it over here on Easter but I spoke to her this morning and she said she will come by either on Thursday or Friday. She and Teach ended up staying at his parent's house until almost 10pm and they were both tired. They also had two dogs that probably needed to go out...lol.
The Princess is coming over early to take the Beast to his eye doctor's appointment. We stopped by there on our way home today but the office was closes. Duh! It's Wednesday. I don't know why we didn't call first. He just wanted to make sure he was going to have his lens cleaned since it is worse than it was a few weeks back.
We actually stopped to have brunch at Waffle House. I used to like their coffee but since we've been drinking Kauai coffee, I barely drank any of it today. The Beast ate this huge breakfast...eggs, a bowl of grits, sausage, a huge waffle and toast. He ate it ALL. I had hash browns, eggs, toast and bacon. I ate all mine, too. I was hungry and it was 11am. But watching the Beast eat all that food was awful. He sure doesn't eat that much at home. Even if HE is not the one cooking. But it was nice not to have to go home and cook.
Love you all. I hope you have a great day. Another hot one here tomorrow....but then storms for a couple days. ***Hugs***
