Doctor's Appointment Rescheduled....

I was already on my way to the doctor's office when I got a call from them.  It seems that my doctor had been called over to the hospital on an emergency consult about one of his patients so I could either see one of the other doctors or reschedule.  I rescheduled for tomorrow morning.  It's not like I am sick.  I just need to get my regular A1C test and I need to ask him about the medication they have for IBS-D.  I definitely want some if it works and doesn't have a bunch of possible side effects.

So, I just went to Walmart and picked up what I needed to make my meatloaf today.  It turns out it's a perfect day for it.  It's overcast and drizzling out.  We are supposed to get actual rain later tonight but I can wait for that.  Better then than now.

Yesterday was not really anything special.  Johnnycakes helped some friends move a few things so he had borrowed our trailer to do that.  Then he moved the AC unit that the Beast had taken out of the kitchen window and put it in the cottage.  The Beast admitted that he just can't handle that any more.  I don't think he was feeling all that great anyway.  Then, when we talked this morning, I found out that he was in so much pain last night that he took a pain pill and it made him too sick to sleep well at all.  He doesn't do a heavy pain pill dosage well at all except after a major surgery and he didn't think to ask me for one of mine (which are a lower dosage).  He said he still feels sick to his stomach, like he wants to barf plus he keeps getting leg cramps in both his legs.  Those I think he is getting because he overdoes things at times.  Even lifting the AC unit from the window to the table on the deck would do it for him.

Chewlee and I watched Harry Potter movies most of the day until she went home to get ready for bed.  Well, she WAS ready for bed as far as taking her shower and putting on her pajamas.  That she did here while I kept our movie on *pause* until she was done.  After she left, I continued watching the HP movies (she knows which one we have to start with when she is over for a few hours next time) until I was so darn tired that I couldn't see straight.  That's when I posted what I did about posting today.  I'll post again later tonight.

I stopped before I put in the last two movies from HP (The Deathly Hallows, Parts 1&2).  I don't want to start one without being able to see the other.  I don't care how many times I watch the movies, I still love them.  I told Chewlee that, when she was ready, I have all the HP books here for her to read.  I also told her that the books are actually much better than the movies because there is so much more information and detail in them.  I don't know if she believed me or not since she hasn't really read any books with any depth to them yet but she will find out.  I'm just glad that she likes to read.

Back when my son, Marcus, was young, he hated reading and did awful in it in school.  I tried a lot of different things to get him interested in reading.  I finally found some fantasy books that I thought might do the trick (I had read them) so I talked about them with him.  I didn't give him the books, I just talked about how interesting I thought they were (they were cute!).  He went into my bookcase headboard and picked up one and started reading it.  Before I knew it, he had read them all and that was all he could talk about.  After that, he started reading a lot of different books.  He became my BEST reader.  The trick is to help them find things that interest them and then just let them explore.

Just watching the weather channel where they did a big report on NASA's announcement regarding finding water on the planet Mars.  They sure were cautious about even thinking that with all the observations they have been doing for so many years.  It's not real running water like we are used to but it's there and it's seasonal.  Isn't that amazing?  Also saw our weather report for the week ahead...it sucks!  The next few days will be nasty and then it will still be overcast until the weekend.  Yuck!  I'm glad I remembered to buy us an umbrella.

Time to get busy here and then get my meatloaf ready to pop into the oven.  I'm glad we also have biscuits to serve and I can even make a salad.  Today is Johnnycake's birthday so I want to make sure he eats well before he has to set off to work.  

I hope your day is better than ours.  Love you all.  Be good and smile, smile, smile.  Hopefully, you will get a few back!  ***Hugs***
