I have mixed feelings about Mondays. Mainly I like them because they are a new start after the weekend, but I’m prepared to make an exception for today.
Last week I made an appointment with the doctor for 8.40, which is a good time for me as early appointments usually run to time. It’s also, with it being one of Julia’s days off, early enough not to impact on the rest of the day.
Good plan, apart from one thing. She swapped days this week. Not only that, but she was asked to take a cookery session. She was also told it had to be banana cake because that’s what the group wanted. Then she was told she would have to buy the ingredients and claim the cost back.
So, feeling guilty at not being able to deliver her to work, I had to drop her off at the bus station.
At that point one of the “bags for life” gave up the ghost on the pavement. Fortunately we had a replacement in the back of the car.
When I got to the doctor I was glad I had my book with me, as my theory on early appointment timing proved to be inaccurate. However, I quite like reading, and wasn’t too bothered. I also managed to get out, after a review of my tablets, without gaining any extra ailments, which is always a bonus. I’ve even managed to reduce the number of tablets I take.
In TESCO, my pharmacy of choice these days, I was ambushed and asked to answer some questions on my medication. It wasn’t exactly a searching set of questions, so I suspect I’ve just become a tick in a box. I’m not even sure if I’m irritated by this or not.
Once back home I spent time looking for a set of A4 dividers marked with the months. I was positive I had a set, and even promised Julia I would …
I suppose you can guess the rest. The set I had in mind has 20 numbered dividers, which just aren’t going to do the year-planning job I had in mind.
Did I mention the broadband keeps going off?
And I forgot to buy yoghurt in TESCO.
I think that’s it. I’m making soup in a minute and from there the only way is up.
Never mind, you produced a good post
Thank you Derrick.
One of *those* days! I’m pleased the medication was reduced though!
So was I, it’s moving in the right direction. 🙂
I hope the “bag for life” is not a bag of ill omen.
I hadn’t even considered it until you put the thought in my mind. Now I can’t think of anything else…
Sorry.

Sounds like there are a number of positives at the start of this week. No extra ailments is a definite plus.
Yes, I was very careful in my choice of words and admitted to nothing. 🙂
time for a quiet walk around the garden. Bright side-tomorrow is Tuesday!
Yes, I quite like Tuesdays. 🙂
Soup always improves a day. So glad no other aliments were found and that your medication was decreased. Triumph!
Yes, it’s a good result. 🙂
