Chilly Sunday & 

Beautiful Monday

January 3 & 4, 2016

My Christmas trees are still up!

We woke to a chilly morning Sunday, but we were both up early.  Ron wanted to go by the hospital to check on his mother.  He left to go see her while I finished getting ready.  Class was good.  We had a nice bunch and a good lesson.

The worship service was good as the pastor and music director were back in their places after some time off during the holidays.

After church, Ron returned to the hospital and I came home to have some lunch and then napped much of the afternoon.  About the time Ron came home, saying his mother was now at home having been released from the hospital, I was headed out to run a couple of errands.

I needed to get milk, bread, and ice, and to pick up a couple of items at another store.  Once home, I did some laundry, some dishes, and a little cleaning.  It was late when I went to bed, but the last thing I told Ron was that I needed him to get me up as soon as he got up Monday morning.  That is not what he heard...

Monday morning, Ron woke me as he was ready to leave for the office.  I had an early doctor's appointment, so I had needed to be up earlier.  I hurried and got there on time.  There is a new Nurse Practitioner at our doctor's office.  I think she is probably a good Nurse Practitioner, but I hated to see that the previous one is gone.

The Nurse Practitioner was inclined to change one medication, but since I was to see the heart doctor the next day, she wanted me to see what he said.  After the visit, I went to the office and worked on the end of the month/end of the year things.

I left the office a little early to go to the bank and to Sears.  I also went to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions, but they were not ready.  From there I went to Mom's house.  Two of my cousins are in town visiting and they were at Mom's.  They are close to my age, but a little younger.  I always felt cheated on cousins.  Daddy was an only child and Mom only had one brother, so his children were my only cousins.  Thankfully her brother had 4 children, so that left me with 4 cousins.

We had a good visit and it was great to see them and spend time together.  What a treat.  At home, I fixed my supper and then did some work on the computer before going to bed later than I had intended.
