Accomplishing A Lot


It is another gloomy day today.  Supposed to rain this afternoon, so I am doing laundry.  I would like to get some quilting done but don’t think I will.  Tried to order some cat food for Penny on Chewy.com but they are working on their website and I was on hold so long when I called them that I finally hung up.  Will try again later.  I did call Kevin and he is going to pick up my prescriptions from Walgreen’s on his way home from work today. 

Since I have my golf cart back I decided to check out the trees and bushes we planted and/or transplanted in the front yard.  I did this when I took a bag of trash to the trash cans and picked up my mail.  Most of them are starting to get leaves and buds.  There are a few that look doubtful, but it’s still early.

Another gloomy day with a few peeks of the sun.  Only 20% chance of rain today so I plan to head down to the Shack.  Didn’t get much done this morning even though I tried.  Spent time on the phone and computer.  Said my prayers, read my bible.  Had planned to do some cleaning, but if I want to get down to the Shack it looks like no cleaning will be done.  Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Since I am not getting out and about I decided to order Penny’s food from Chewy.com as I mentioned above.  I finally got through on their website.  Of course, they were out of several of the items I wanted, and instead of two to three days delivery they are so busy it will take between seven and ten days.  Glad I have enough to last.

Kevin was able to pick up my prescriptions from Walgreen’s on his way home.  It took him forever. He was going to use the drive-thru but they were backed up all around the building.  He went inside and they had lines on the floor showing where to stand.  They were also backed up but he hung in there and got my meds.

For some reason my doctor did not approve one of them so he only got two instead of three.  Today my doctor’s office called and told me my prescription was ready to be picked up at their office.  This has never happened before.  I asked them why they didn’t send it to Walgreen’s when they contacted them (especially since I am not supposed to leave my house).  She didn’t know.  After a lot of back and forth she told me to have Kevin pick it up since he picked up my meds from Walgreen’s yesterday.  I told her no.  Kevin was not going to pick it up and neither was I.  This was stupid.  I told her to send it to Walgreen’s and she said she couldn’t do that, and besides I would have to go pick it up from there.  I said no I would not.  My son would get it on his way home from work.  Turns out Renea has an appointment with Dr. Reese tomorrow.  She is also my doctor, so they said they would give it to her.  I called Renea and she said she would pick it up for me, but they changed her appointment to doing through facetime.  But yet they wanted me to come pick up my prescription at the office.  I will never understand.  If Renea can’t get it I just won’t take it any more.

I plan to check with my health care provider and see if I can change my prescriptions to mail order.

This afternoon when I drove to the Shack I drove around the backyard and checked the trees to see how they were doing.  Most of them are showing signs of green.  There were two not looking good.  My snowball bush looks awesome.  It has a lot of buds getting ready to bloom.

I have one set of placemats ready to bind.  I have another set cut and ready to sew.  I am thinking about a third set.  After I finish these I will start work on my twelve days of Christmas wall hanging.  That will be a project because there is a lot of embroidery involved.

Continuing on….after getting a few things accomplished yesterday morning I headed to the Shack.  Now, all eight placemats are ready to bind.  I just need to cut and iron the binding and sew it to the placemats.  I need to fill a few bobbins with thread since I am using the last one now.  I also started getting the supplies ready for the twelve days of Christmas wall hanging.  I feel like I am making progress.

You sound like me with your meds. I wanted to get mine refilled early just in case. I got 2 of my meds refilled. The 3rd one is a "controlled substance" so can not be refilled until April 5th. I have enough until April 12th, so I'm good. It is to control my seizures. I have been on it since I was about 19. The nurse practitioner that I go to says she doesn't understand why it's a controlled substance. Can't really do anything bad with it. Oh well. Hopefully, it will be refilled on the 5th.

Glad you are getting a lot done. Herb is still working, because he is considered "essential". Haha. Lowe's is part of FEMA.

It is sunny here today, but rain is on it's way tonight. I like the sunshine, but then people come out and start running around when they should stay home. I think the rain keeps some of those dopes home, so I guess rain can be a blessing.

Stay in and keep safe!

Keep on working, Marilyn. I am still "working" on getting something done! We are going to pick up our groceries at Kroger today, between 4 - 5. I ordered them on Tuesday, and today (Friday) was earliest I could pick them up. This too shall pass. Take care. Stay healthy.
