The blood draw

Friday

I got up at 8. I got ready for the day and took probiotics, etc. I called the medical office to make sure I could get a blood draw this afternoon. Then Chris said he was busy so we had a discussion about it. He finally said we should leave at noon to be back by 4.

I went to the post office for mail and got caught in a conversation. Then I went to 211 to clean for an hour. I went home to make and eat breakfast. Jamie came over to work on the lawn and William called to say the car was sold so Michele could cancel the insurance.

At noon we got in the car. Chris programmed the GPS. We headed to Salem, going through Eureka. Seemed like the long way around, but I texted Michelle and she said both ways take the same amount of time. We got there around two and the blood draw was pretty quick.

Then we headed back. There was no time for shopping in Tooele. We stopped at the commissary for the usual foods plus something for Al and Cecily. We put the food away at home. I sat outside and read for while. Jamie had done a great job on the lawn.

I ate fiber gel. I read e-mail then ate supper. Jenni called to ask me to swim with her. I finished reading and eating. I made more breakfast mix. Then I went to the pool to meet Jenni. She was already in. I got in and swam while she talked. I went home and changed into dry clothes. I went to the garden to water the young apple tree. I used two gallon jugs, alternately filling them and letting some water soak in while watering other things. So I am not certain the tree got 5 gallons. But I spent 45 minutes adding water. I also was able to rescue my hose from plot 1.

I went home. Chris was still out gaming. There was a chocolate egg in my purse that melted in the heat. I took everything out and washed the chocolate out. I put it in the washing machine. I made bathroom spray and then laundry detergent on the stove. I worked on my blog. Chris came home from his game around 10. We read on our laptops for awhile. He went to bed first and I stayed up till 11.
