My bone treatment this past week was a rough one. For some reason, after 3 years of going to this clinic, and having VERY few issues with nurses not being able to access my port, this time was - torture.
I am still bruised. It was absolutely awful. Two nurses, two tries each.... UGH.
But at least it's over with, and I don't have to go back until July 1st. Wonder what my blood pressure will be next time! I will be anxious for sure, I can tell you that.
We are getting more rain this weekend, which is a welcome blessing! The tiny sprouts in my garden boxes have grown visibly just from the natural "sky water" that fell Friday evening. We've gotten a lot more since then, which is very nice.
Unfortunately, there are no nasturtium sprouts, no green pepper, only two of the herbs I planted have sprouted, no more flowers on the strawberry plant (I think I got ripped off). No carrots are coming up, just beets and radish sprouts so far, and they had not shown signs of thriving until the rain, despite my watering them every evening.
It's disappointing, but I can always go buy herb plants, and try to keep them alive in this climate. I will wait until we get back from Chicago, though.
We went and got Dave a suit for the wedding on Thursday at the nearest mens' wear store.
It turned out to be a place where pimps and dandies get their Sunday suits for church... so much flamboyant, sparkly stuff! Some of it was hollywood worthy.
The staff looked at us oddly when we first walked in....two older, white folks... but the guy who helped us was great after he got over his shock.
They did indeed have plain white dress shirts, and boring business suits, too. We spent less than $200, and were happy to support a local, black-owned business!
The pants are at our tailor, and will be ready on Tuesday, just in the nick of time. As usual, Dave put it off until the last possible moment.
He already had a Jerry Garcia-designed tie that a friend sent to us when her husband passed away, so we made sure the tie and suit were compatible colors.
The dress I got is teal with a floral pattern. I got some espadrilles that I have lined with moleskin so that my feet don't bleed. I hate having to wear dressy shoes, and they inevitably cause blisters and broken skin.
Hopefully, we won't have to walk very far. The shoes would be fine, if I could wear socks, HAHA. There is no way I am buying a pair of nylons.... do they even sell them anymore? No one wears them anymore....
Dave went and got his beard and hair trimmed on Friday, so he's good to go.
Our house sitters will come by tomorrow to get a refresher on pet care, etc.
Anyway, we leave on Wednesday, and will be going to Michigan on the Sunday after the wedding, so there may not be a usual Sunday post from me here.
Please do not panic if you don't find your usual updates here, HAHA.
In the meantime, have a great week!
