CT SCAN finally

All  the requirements for my CT scan were completed ( prednisone and benadryl) ... I am contrast dye allergic so pills had to be ordered and the schedule followed.... but today was the day!! The scan was completed and home we went.

No reaction... hooray... but I do feel whipped!

In between  all this I worked on a large mouse for the next show. It's taken more work since the Ultrasuede I am using for the tail , ears and so on is a heavy one and hard to sew through by hand!! Just  the the paw pads and I can stuff it!!

Weather hasn't been too bad though this area is on a flood watch for a couple of days. No rain for our area yet... but south of us can have up to 8 inches of rain!

Mouse is done...need to accessorize!

oops

 I was supposed to have a ct scan this morning BUT they forgot to prescribe Prednisone and benedryl because I am allergic to contrast dyes.

So no scan...rats... especially  after working our way from Blue Springs to the other side of town!! I470 and I435 are a b*t** if you are not familiar with all the Friday morning traffic!!

Getting a prescription and a new appointment for next Wed.

So  when we returned home I finished a bear and Bob played on his X-Box

100 F

 Yesterday afternoon was a scorcher.  As we were heading out to MOOChoo's for dinner with our elder daughter the car's thermometer read 100F!!!

Luckily the restaurant had a/c and lots of ice water. Dinner was good... talk was good and birthday wishes plentiful!

But when I got out of the car at home the heat practically took me for a loop. Recliner to the rescue!

Today is light rain and cooler temps ... so far. Good for laundry! We are running out of underwear!

Grocery run

By the time we returned home and put everything away we were both hot and exhausted. Found everything at our Neighborhood Walwart but the Mater Man's booth was empty, Found the other veggie booth South on 7hwy in from the Blue Springs Fitness...peaches , zucchini and a red onion !

We have a heat advisory... and our temp is currently 95 F... so no cooking tonight.  Ham, swiss cheese, tomatoes and red onion with mayo on a bakery roll is planned and I made a batch of carrot salad as a side.... and watermelon! Fresh sliced peaches with Cook Whip for dessert!

We enjoyed our dining room picnic

Car is home!!

 The car is back home!!  The tire which Bob could not keep inflated evidently had something sharp creating a hole in the tread. The bad tire sensor was a different tire.... both have be fixed!! Hooray

Our daughter and her husband took Bob to Goodyear and he drove the car home!!  No car rental necessary for my electrocardiogram appointment!

We spent the rest of the day enjoying the a/c... it was quite warm and tomorrow will be even hotter. Off to the grocery store EARLY!! Will stop at the Mater Man on the way home for more stuff. The peaches have been divine

Came across


 


I came across this digital scrapbook page  of my husband, his sister and younger brother...enjoying a trip to their grandparents' cottage on Canandaigua Lake , NY... summertime lake fun!

what a day

 Bob spent almost all  day trying to get the tired to stay inflated.... no luck which meant we had to find a way to get the car to Goodyear.

I tried to get him to call AAA ( we have memberships) but he was positive that they wouldn't tow the car from our driveway.    By late afternoon he was willing to call. A tow truck came and hopefully got the car to Goodyear before it closed.

Now we see what happens tomorrow... if necessary we will rent an Enterprise car so I can get to my electrocardiogram on Monday
