No such luck. My second “stay at home day” developed into yet another trip into town. Mr. FixIt had a prescription ready. We each take several prescriptions…each filled with a ninety day supply. One would think we could somehow get all of our meds at the same time and go to the pharmacy once every…what is that? Oh, yeah…ninety days! But nooooooo…seldom do both of us get a refill at the same time. So, there’s always another trip to town and I get pretty tired of it. But, it is what it is, right? Let it go, Ginny. Just let it go.
We did get a lot done in a really short amount of time this trip. We each got our flu shot and I got a tetanus booster. I cut my finger Sunday night and my PCP said if I ever got a cut or scrap to go get my tetanus booster so Medicare will pay for it. I would have loved to go walk in the park, but it was 92° in the shade and I was getting hangry. We got home right around dark. I fixed us a couple of pulled pork sandwiches and dished out the last of the Cucumber, Onion, and Tomato Salad. We each had a little of my Homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and some oven toasted crisps. With watermelon for dessert!
I packaged up the last of the pulled pork, divided into four meals, and put it in the freezer. We can only eat so much before we burn out on it and I hate to throw food away. We can pop the frozen packets in the camper freezer when we travel the next couple weeks and have ready made suppers.
We shopped for a garage door yesterday to replace the one the Lincoln went through. Hopefully one of Mr. FixIt’s buddy’s will come help him put it in. He’s thinking he’ll stay home next week and let me go camping on my own with the girls. That way he doesn’t have to rush to get it done by Monday. Besides, Gail and I will just be sitting at the campground knitting and talking and he can only take so much of that. We’ll be camping together the following week, so he won’t miss out on much.
When I came out to the camper to write last night, I noticed the sky was much darker than it was the other night. The moon is waning so each night gets progressively darker till the New Moon. I put my things in the camper and took the easel out to get some shots. It never fails. I shoot anywhere from ten to twenty pictures and may get one or two good ones. I really liked this one. The stars were so bright and the Milky Way was over toward the SW horizon.
I cherish every moment I can spend outside at this time of the year. Because…it won’t be long at all till we can’t come out and sit at night. We’ll be stuck in the house for months. I read that the mountains east of Salt Lake City got snow on Monday night! Yikes!
