After 12 days, we finally have Lori’s car all fixed and home. Knock on wood nothing else happens as we’ve had tire issues for it seems like months on one car or another. On our way down Lori picked up balloons and bagels for her doctors who are veterans. She took them up to the OR where they were just coming out from the first case. They were super surprised and appreciative. Then by noon we were picking up her car. We both made it home a little after 2.
Today Lori is going in at 7:45 to check in some patient and then Jag should be here around noon or 1 on his way to Telluride. Ty is off to basketball at 6:30 and then the weekend will get an early start later today.
I’ve been kicking caffeine as I was drinking over six coffee’s a day. It’s a powerful drug. All kinds of side effects as it really messes with your system. I didn’t really notice how many I was having each day. I’m having a half a cup a day right now.
We went and saw Dixie yesterday. Once before dinner but then Lori ran down her portable oxygen charger and visited some more. She’s pretty confused on a lot of things but then remembers some things from years ago really well.
Shortages are real. I couldn’t find Gatorade up here so when we went do Denver we stopped to get Lori’s passport photo at Walgreens and they too had none. They said they haven’t been able to get any for a while. Lots of their shelves were bare. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime. Turkeys are almost all gone too. Whole Foods is out. You need to stock up on things you use daily but take for granted. Think toothpaste, soap, kitchen and bath items, pet food, over the counter medicines, etc. Avoid luxuries this Christmas unless you’re rich and get things you can use. It also goes without saying you should try not to accumulate any debt which thankfully most of us that read this have little if any. Ok, enough preaching. Have a great weekend, God Bless.
