 TERRY

Terry had her annual wellness visit yesterday and it went well.  Dr. Costello did give us several papers to have blood work done and a scan done so we will take care of that in the coming weeks.  Her BP was excellent and she has NOT been on meds for some time.  Did we get any answers?  Not really but then there were not many questions either.  So for now it is make some appointment for scans and blood work.

I will NOT say these will never be used again but for now they have found a home in the garage.  Yesterday was the proof as Terry went to her doctor appointment without the wheelchair, just using the walker.  That is the very first time we have gone out in over a year without the wheelchair.  So for now it is "doing what she wants" by using the walker and we are thinking that we may be able to put that in the garage also at some point! Now I need to get on the phone and make some appointment for things Dr. Costello ordered.

Well I would say that my arch and my back are somewhat better today.  I am still trying to stay off my feet as much as possible to give that arch a rest.  I did get arch supports for my court shoes but not sure when or if I will use them.

I enjoy reading the WSJ Monday-Saturday.  This morning there was an article about T-moble high up workers such as CEO etc.  

You may not be interested in reading it BUT the 4 people at the top AVERAGE a salary of 63+ million a year.  I wonder if they ever thought about lowering their rates and take a slight pay cut???  Well I think I know the answer.  I mean the top person only gets $137 M!

Karl, one of the guys I play tennis with stopped by last night with a book for me to read.  We talked about tennis etc and I did notice that he has lost a lot of weight.  It makes me determined to do the same.  I am wondering if a pot of FP and ONE beer a day for two weeks would do it???  Well if I did that the covid shot, arch injury and sore back may be nothing compared to that diet so will forgo it and just try to be a bit more reasonable in what I eat!  I am thinking I may be able to get back on the courts in 10 days or so.  MAYBE

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"But they grew up knowing Mom will use the spatula if she has too.  The kids know, it is one swat, they get the lesson.  Every swat after one is for your frustration.  Oh, yeah.  If you can't straighten out the tree before it gets too big, you might as well forget it when they are teenagers."

No here it is 9:45.  Sonia is here making a meal for the day and really I should get some work done.  First I need to call about the pool as it has been unused for a couple weeks.  I have come to the conclusion that a couple of the companies that came are not going to get back to me so I need to call.  My FP is gone so time to sign off.
