Do you know which chore sucks? Vacuuming.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How very appropriate:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Not a great year!<\/p><\/div>\n

We are up early as I had an appointment with the surgeon at 8:30 AM in Long Beach.\u00a0 The doctor did his thing, cutting out another piece of cancer from my forearm.\u00a0 Mary came along to supervise, and it turns out they had medical friends in common. The opening is about four inches long, and I have to be careful with the arm for several days.<\/p>\n

The doctor wrote me a prescription for the arm.\u00a0 It says, and I quote, “Patient to be horizontal and fed cherry-flavored bon-bon’s every fifteen minutes.\u00a0 If pain persists, apply pressure to feet using hands. Bon-bons and foot massage to be provided by a beautiful lady”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My ouch is in a perfectly bad spot!<\/p><\/div>\n

We called Irene to see if she wanted Greek food for lunch but she was heading out to the casino’s to reduce their profit margins by a few points.<\/p>\n

Leaving the doctor’s office, we went to Party City to get things for Thanksgiving.\u00a0 We got invitations and plates, and Thanksgiving napkins, etc.\u00a0 Mary will be the hostess (along with Robin) at our Thanksgiving get together. I am honored to have these ladies in my life!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From there, we went to Chez Liles, where I unpacked my bags and got a load of wash started.\u00a0 Mary brought her mail to go through, and we puttered around the house for a while.<\/p>\n

Then it was off to Mary’s office, where I was outfitted with a pair of clear daytime glasses.<\/p>\n

And we are off now to another doctor, Mary’s dermatologist.\u00a0 At our age, these derm’s make a killing.\u00a0 While I was waiting, I asked her doctor if this procedure was a possibility:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hey, it was worth a try.<\/p><\/div>\n

When Mary remembered she had a prescription to pick up at a compounding pharmacy in Los Alamitos, we headed for my home instead of going to Mary’s.\u00a0 Amazingly enough, her pharmacy was the same place I went to many times to pick up special meds.\u00a0 While on our way, I stopped at the shoe repair because I have been carrying around some shoes needing work for almost a month.<\/p>\n

It’s approaching 4:00 PM, so I suggested we see if Charlotte is at Old Ranch and have a drink.\u00a0 Not only was she there, but Wayne was with her having dinner. Mary and I looked at each other and decided to order only ONE item.\u00a0 We learned from our road trip!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We talked with Wayne and Charlotte for quite a while.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary and Charlotte talked in German, which is good for both of them!\u00a0 Wayne and I just looked at each other, puzzled at what they may be saying.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mary thought the salmon looked delicious, so we got one to share and took it home.<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided I better do a selfie, so folks will know I am really here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yes, I was really there!<\/p><\/div>\n

We went VFR to Mary’s house, unpacked our treasures from today’s shopping activities, and then had our salmon.\u00a0 We tried to watch Two And A Half Men, but the Wifi and TV were NOT cooperating.\u00a0 We goofed around with it until frustration set in, and we needed help.\u00a0 Zachary, my grandson, will come over after work and get things going for us again.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we are going to surprise Robin and both of us will be at the Yucatan Grill for lunch!\u00a0 Then I go back to the dentist where other rare forms of torture will be performed on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
