Another Day

I woke up this morning feeling good. I went out and had some coffee with my wife on the Patio. We're up around 4am and it was 74 degrees and dark outside. I was scheduled for a blood draw at 7:30am so I didn't have breakfast. My blood is draw for the surgery I'm scheduled to have on Monday the 9th. The woman who gave me the lab slip said it was not fasting, but she said results come out better if you don't eat. So I held off on taking nourishment.
I took my dog Gracie out and we did our 2 mile walk and after resting for a few minutes I went down for my appointment. I've been fortunate to get in and out fairly quickly because I made the appointment on line. So when I showed up and signed in I was called up and with in a minute I was back there being poked. But the young lady who drew my blood is very good and gentle. I hardly ever feel any pain when she sticks the needle in. That done I headed back home.
My wife has purchased a screen to hang in the doorway of her she shed, and she wanted me to cut a peace of wood that I bough yesterday so it would fit and she could paint it. She wanted it cut on angle, so I broke out my trusty Jig Saw and made the cuts she requested. That done I move some old paint that was in another shed to the garage so I can take them to a Hazorduse Waste Dump here in Apple Valley. Once that was completed, I pulled out case of toilet paper and restocked our cupboards. I had one more appointment to make with my pediatrist for my feet. Since I'm diabetic I'm able to get my feet taken care of through Medicare. It's the way it is and I'm not going to ask why.
Once I arrived back home I, took my shower and we had lunch. Frozen pizza was on the menu and my wife made a salad to go along with it. We topped it of with an ice cream bar! After lunch my wife had her cigaret and headed in for her nap.
Here I am filling the story of my day so far. That's life in the High Desert of California. The temperature is 101 degrees at 12:55pm and there is suppose to be an excessive heat warning for the next 3 days. Something to look forward to, I'm glad we have air conditioning.

Have a nice day and Remember
Life is Good and God Is Great
