I need to enunciate better!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were up at six and getting ready to go.\u00a0 Mary was about 60% but. I could not get her to stay home and not go to the heart doctor with me.<\/p>\n

We stopped by Starbucks, or “rip-off joint,” and paid $20 for two cups of coffee and four egg white bites.\u00a0 \u00a0We made it to the doctor’s office at 9:00 am for a 9:15 am appointment.<\/p>\n

I passed my blood test, and my doctor took a look at the results. He declared that I was “old,” which was not surprising as he was older than me. When the nurse left the room, she told me to take a look at the computer and read my lab results. She knew Mary was a doctor and would find it interesting.<\/p>\n

Checking to see all was OK!<\/p><\/div>\n

After receiving good news regarding my health, including low cholesterol levels (< 90), less than 1.5% missed heartbeats, an A1C of 6.3, and a blood pressure reading of 129\/75, we headed home.\u00a0 Time to celebrate!<\/p>\n

On the way, I suggested stopping at the Orange Lodge, but we realized it was Wednesday, and the place was closed. So, we called our friend Bob Z. and he said he was on his way. We ended up having lunch with him and catching up on the latest gossip from the past two days.<\/p>\n

We rested at home, and Mary took a nap for two hours. At 3:00 pm, the cleaning crew arrived, so we went to Jan’s house. The three of us enjoyed a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n

Jan’s yard was full of oranges and grapefruits, so I went out back with a bag to forage.<\/p>\n

Pickin’ Oranges<\/p><\/div>\n

Jan came out to assist!\u00a0 Those small trees were perfect; I just walked up and yelled “Jump” and they would fall off the tree into my bag!<\/p>\n

We filled the bag!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Tomorrow, Jan is going to the Elks even if I have to tie her up!\u00a0 When we came home, the cleaning folks had just finished; this time of year, it is easy for them as every surface is filled with Christmas decorations, so their job is easier!<\/p>\n

We watched Schlindler’s List and some other movies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
