At the crack of dawn, we were up and moving. The crack of dawn today was 6:30 am. We exited the house at 7:15 am and headed to Laguna for an eye check with our favorite eye doctor, the one who did the cataract surgery two years ago.
We got there with time to spare, so we had a latte at the coffee shop!

The coffee shop is built inside a steel shipping container!
The exam results were great 20-30 in both eyes, pressures were spot on, and the X-ray vision is operational!
I proposed to take Mary to breakfast, but she decided we ought to eat at home, visit Scout, and then go to the next appointment. She fixed a delightful breakfast, my favorite, bacon and eggs, complete with applesauce and a banana on toasted bread. Yum!
Her bacon is so good, it’ll make you squeal with delight.

Paul is on the left and Mary is on the right (in case you wondered).
Now we’re off again, heading to Quest Labs for a pre-heart-stress-test baseline blood test and urine test. It is impressive as the blood was drawn at 1:45 pm, and at 8:30 pm, I got a message from Quest with the results, which I printed out for Dr. Mary.

A Philbo wattamist?
Leaving Quest, we returned home, and then we were off to an appointment at UCI for Mary. While Mary was doing her thing, I went to Wendy’s and drank a large lemonade because it was cool inside and 87 outside.
On the way home, we stopped at CVS and picked up more medication (I think we’re keeping the pharmaceutical companies alive).
Around 9:00 pm, we got the test results back. Dr. Mary examined the results and ran across the room to see if I was still alive! There was a note from the test agency that I should stop drinking so much. The urine sample contained three olives.
