THIS 'N' THAT

 

Yesterday was probably one of the worst days I've had with the pain in my back/shoulder and arm.

Because we are heading back to Australia in 12 days, I think it would be prudent for me to see my Dr again.  Even if he can only give me something else for the pain, I'd be happy.

ABOVE:  My pie from last night.  It needed an extra long time to cook, but once done is was really delicious.  I was so proud of the pastry I made.  I will probably make my own from now on.

My Trulicity jab last night hurt a little bit, just stingy... nothing I can't put up with, considering how well it is controlling my appetite.  I literally can't wait for my next 3 monthly Hba1c blood test!  I'm hoping/expecting a really good drop in my blood sugar levels.

Going to twice weekly jabs was the trick ... once a week didn't work so well.

It still takes will power not to eat the 'wrong' food, so I'm not giving all the credit to the drug.

Hump Day, and I am not sure what I will do today.  I got so tired with the constant pain yesterday, I'm praying it doesn't happen again today.  So, no expectations on myself today.

I will certainly drive down to my Dr's office first thing this morning and make an appointment.  It is the quickest and easiest way to make an appointment, you just get the run around when you ring the call centre.

ABOVE:  That is me.... soooo me.

BLONDIE:  I'm not sure.  My shoulder and arm have been sore for months, the back bit only kicked in a couple of weeks ago, so that might be a muscle teaked?

Don't know.

I didn't end up getting a Drs appointment.  Two reasons.

1.  Our Dr is away for a month, and I don't really want to see anyone else.  I've finally found the combination of Tramadol and Panadol that seems to work, so I'll wait to see L when he gets back, if there's been no improvement.

2.  Two young ladies got pissy with me when I did a U turn down a side street, seems I shouldn't have turned into THEIR driveway?  So they actually FOLLOWED me into the Drs!  They got very mouthy, so I just went up to the counter and stood there until they left.

It was a very unpleasant, slightly scary experience.  

After that, I went over to the Base and got these:

ABOVE:  A nice, cheap rolling pin, and two 'portion controlling' plates that I loved when I saw them.  They are perfectly imperfect in shape.  And blue, can't forget that.  LOL  I've got quite a lot of that particular design/colour in our cupboards now.  I seem to keep adding to it.

And now I'm home, and heating up some left over pie for my lunch.  Later on I'm going to the Village AGM, probably for the first and last time.  I know it will be boring, but I want to go to ONE at least, so I know what I'm missing in coming years. 😂😅😊

5.45 pm:  And I am happy to report that the AGM went well.  It helped that I knew two people on the Board and could yak to them after the meeting.  And also a few residents that I've come to know.  I didn't feel totally out of it at all.

There was a very generous drink and nibble get together after the meeting too.  Lots of wines and lovely nibbles.  I had none.  I didn't even feel deprived.

L from the craft group took me aside and showed me where I can set up our gazebo for the village fair in November.  I'm happy to say I have a very generous area to set up in!  And it's inside, so weather will not be an issue.

Stew just arrived home, so I better get off here and spend some time with him.  

9.24 pm, and we've had a lovely evening, just chilling out watching the telly.  I've got Coronation Street to watch next, then off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
