TWO DAYS BEFORE 2020

DECEMBER 30 2019
MONDAY

Got up at 3AM with severe endometriosis cramps. Had to take a hot bath. Robert came in to sit beside me.

Afterwards, I sat on the sofa watching re-runs of The Twilight Zone. But I fell asleep after 2 shows.

Hubby got up and let the dogs outside. I finally woke up at 7AM when he sat down on the sofa to eat his breakfast burrito.

I got up and made lattes. Hubby had already fed the dogs.

Hubby got dressed & cleaned the cat litter.

KR said Spencer got his Dinosaur in box from Amazon. It was on their side porch.

Spencer's Box Delivered

The Got Bugs guy came at 8AM. We put the dogs in their kennel and the guy sprayed everywhere; inside and outside.

Hubby got a text from John, the neighbor asking if he could run him to Lowe's in St George to pick up a new air compressor for his garage.

They left at 10AM and arrived back at 2:30PM. Hubby had gotten some surprise presents for me at Walmart.

Hubby made Ants-On-A-Log for me, but spilled the raisins on the floor. Then he dropped the bag! Wilson tried to eat the raisins but we got him out of the kitchen.

Hubby wrapped the birthday presents at the dining room table.

KR texted that Spencer had received his present. It had been delivered by Amazon.

Hubby and I walked down to get the mail.

I took a shower because I was sweaty stinky.

NO PAIN IN MORNING/GOING SWIMMING

SUNDAY
12-29-2019

Got up at 7AM. I had finally slept. This was the first morning that I woke up and did not feel extreme pain everywhere or in my chest. Finally.

Made lattes. Hubby got up and made eggs for dogs. He fed them. He made his breakfast burrito..

I had bagel with applesauce.

Then I was tired and watched TV while Hubby did laundry and cleaned cat litter. He vacuumed. I did laundry.

We rested all day long.

Then at 4PM, we decided to go swimming.

Said "Hi" to Kirk who was exercising, then Nancy - our neighbor came out of the dance studio to ask about my health. On the way into the lockers, I saw Becka and told her about my heart attack.

There were nasty little kids (3 girls) who were screaming and squealing in the pool. We forgot that kids can swim from 3-5.

We asked at the front desk and the kids are "supposed to be OUT of the building by 5PM".

The little rats did not leave with their father or grandfather until 5:15PM. The sign that indicates no children in the hot spa was removed and now they are allowed in the hot spa. Which is a pissing disappointment. Kids like to piss in the water.

We as adults were not allowed to "act boisterous or throw things" in the pool outside this past summer, but these little brats were throwing balls and screaming boisterously. I need to bring this up to the HOA.

Driving home the opposite way, we encountered more Xmas lights that were very pretty. Drove thru a couple different neighborhoods.

At home, we gave the dogs ham when we arrived. They went potty. We sat down and watched TV for the rest of the night. I went to bed at 9:30PM. Hubby came to bed at 11PM.

WEDNESDAY

I woke up at 5AM to potty. Then had a horrible thought that Robert the cat had somehow gotten outside when we were opening doors yesterday. Rattler the cat had climbed on me and miaowed all night long which is not typical for him.

So I looked far and wide for Robert, finally finding him behind the sofa.

I sat down on the sofa and proceeded to watch Homicide Hunter: Lt Joe Kenda until Hubby and the dogs woke up at 6:30AM.

Then we got ready for dinner. I wore black jeans and my grey sweater with Santa earrings.

Hubby wore jeans and his golf shirt.

We drove down at 4:15PM. Hubby dropped me off at the entrance. Got there before John and Dee. We sat in the EXACT SAME SPOTS AS LAST YEAR. I was stuck on the other side of Dee, Kerry, and Shauna. Hubby sat beside Dana and talked all night.

We even had the SAME WAITRESS as last year! My beef medallions were good. Well cooked. But the asparagus were as big as trees and tasteless. Yuck. Hubby and I shared a HUGE cheese cake dessert.

Hubby got inside and came to get me in Tasha's office.

Then Michelle came and got me. I got the X-rays pretty quick. Same room as when I was in the hospital.

Hubby was waiting in line at Reception to get a Starbucks when I came and sat behind him, coughed, and he recognized me.

We instead went to IHOP to have pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, and sausage/bacon. I ate a little. Then Hubby went potty. We put leftovers in a box.

Drove to get fuel & wash car at Terribles.

Dropped off the Mini Blinds to fix at Blind Parts & Repairs not too far from the hospital.

Drove back to the hospital. Could not find handicap parking spot. Had to wait for 1 hour, then we went inside. Long walk to hospital, then got on elevator for 2nd floor Suite 260, long walk back to Dr's Office. We stopped to go potty. Hubby held my pillow.

Signed in at Dr's Office, signed a TON of paperwork. I was tired, sweaty, and exhausted by now. It was 1 hour and 45 minutes before we got to see the Doctor. Nurse came to get my vitals. They were ALL very good.

Dr said no damage to heart. Healing well.

We left and Hubby was hungry. So I needed a drink - went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe and picked up smoothies. My smoothie was supposed to be Blueberry Bliss and tasted like ice water. Yuck. Hubby got a good drink -  Paradise Point. So I drank his. He did not get a receipt, so I cannot complain.

Then we drove to Sin Fronteras and go the BEST tacos! Hubby got street tacos with beans & rice. I got a plain hard taco. Yum.

Drove home.

At 4PM, we were finally home.

Let the dogs out. John, the neighbor had been over twice today to let puppies out.

Hubby gave Wilson his cough medicine and antibiotics.

I took a shower and a painkiller.

We watched TV.

I made chocolate cookies & put them in the fridge for morning.
