One of those days……………..

The day started off OK, up early, breakfast, washing done, off for blood test.

Hubby is still out of range, and they have decided to give him a full MOT with blood tests, BP checks, the works on Monday to make sure nothing sinister is going on.
It would appear that his medical notes have vanished. That is apparently being taken up with the software company as surgery past and present are on the same system. Great.

Shopping:
OK, I bought fruit…………. and salad. I have to eat something, and the reward of the small bar of chocolate I was saving for myself has been eaten by someone I won’t mention. I’m not buying any more. Our neighbour came with us today so we’ve had a good blitz on grocery shopping for the next week.

We also got a new black ink cartridge for the printer. Now this was interesting as apparently it has to be ordered in, and online cost £25.49. We tried an alternative source, and delivery wouldn’t be until next week, not that we need it now, but we left it anyway.
Walking back from the bank, we decided to go into the shop on the off chance. Oh my.
They not only had it in stock, BUT it was £3 cheaper. Profiteering online in my opinion.

Lunch was a lasagna for Hubby, not his preferred variety which they do not seem to be doing anymore and the alternative is dearer and not so filling. I had tomato and yellow bean pasta bake which was delicious.  It was a late meal, so I had a bowl of granola with some strawberries and dried apricots for my final meal tonight. Very low syn day today, so I could easily have had my chocolate 😦

I settled down this afternoon to blog and saw Kela’s owner walking down the road without her. She did not look well, so I went out to ask if she was OK. She said not really, but was on her way to a friend’s house to celebrate her birthday, so I walked with her to make sure she arrived OK. I would happily have walked back to accompany her home.
Then we ended up fixing our neighbour’s fence as some nails had come loose and she was anxious about it. That took well over an hour and a half as the wood was rotten and Hubby had a major repair to do rather than a five minute job. When finished, he was knackered.

Kela’s owner came up the drive on her way back and asked if we could do her a favour by walking the dog this evening as she just didn’t feel up to it. No problem for me, so I walked her home and said I’d come and get the dog around 7 pm.
Hubby insisted on coming too but was not doing very well and flagging about 1/3 of the way round. I got Kela home by 7.35 and her owner was looking and feeling much better. Our phone is on 24/7 so if she feels unwell, I’ve said to ring us.

My blog has had a couple of posts today, but not the one I intended.
Ho hum. I got my new meds for cholesterol today and have taken the first one tonight.
It will be six months before I know if they’re doing anything.
Will do my post tomorrow now as it was something I got my teeth into regarding this latest health tilt.
