Day 32

One NEW Day At A TimDay 19 & 2

Day 32

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

I had a busy day, and very nice.  I took my time in the morning to get a few things done and showered and dressed. I got my chicken salad made (oddly enough, for all the *jokes* about how it isn’t safe for me to handle knives, suddenly it was fine for me to chop chicken, celery, and grapes!).   DS got here as promised around noon.  We took the biggest of the extra totes down and she took me to storage.  We went by WalMart for a few groceries, and then to BoJangles for some lunch.  She took me to my doctor appointment (after a small amount of searching since I completely forgot to get the address .. just knew the road and general area.  Fortunately she was able to look on her magic phon, so we got to the right place on time).  It is a much busier office than the one in Durham, with much longer wait time.  But I did like the doctor.  One particular issue I had she dealt with in a completely different way than the previous doctor had done.

After taking me back, and talking for a bit, she went on home.

Since my salad was done (which turned out quite yummy), supper was quick and easy.   A new season of a favorite show started, and a new show started.  I had to choose, so missed another favorite (just have to break down and pay extra for a DVR.  The monthly fee isn’t a problem.  The exorbitant fee they charge to come connect it is!). 

Last night .. or rather, I guess, early morning .. was the first time it was on the uncomfortable side of cool.  I’m still not ready to have to close the window; but a light quilt felt good.  I woke around 6:00 (because I forgot to get DN to reset my alarm from Sunday morning when I needed to get up earlier).  So I got the quilt and went right back to sleep for another hour and a half. 

I started on dishes this morning.  There’s a bit there, because in addition to supper (not many from that) DN made cookies.  I had to refill my soap dispenser, and as usual got soap all over the outside too.  By the time I got it rinsed off the sink was backed up with bubbles.  Oops.  So I still have to go finish that. 

Later (after DN gets up) I have to do laundry; and then we’ll walk over to the bank, and possibly do some other errands.  I may want to go by the library and see about getting someone to walk me through getting the download for the audible books on Kindle.  I think DN has other stuff in mind to drag me to as well.   We’ll have to see how well I can hold out ..I must get laundry done.  I’d prefer to do it more than just once a week … since I finally have a key, maybe I can manage.   There just have to quit being so many *plans*.  I’m very close, I think, to having everything done that I’ve needed to handle invvoving the major changes in my life, particularly moving.  I have ID, my bills from the “old life” are almost paid (will be this week), and I’ve made steps toward a more social life (church and the VIP* social group). 

For now, it’s time to get the kitchen cleaned, get myself dressed and ready to go start my laundry.  Then we’ll see what the day holds.
