We had a busy day yesterday.

We had another blowout on the irrigation system in the front yard. It was the same place it blew out before, right outside the well house. My husband fixed it again, using a bit different technique. I reprogrammed the two units (one for the front and a different style for the back and we tested both manually to make sure they were working and that nothing blew out.) Then we came back out twice later to monitor the actual watering, tweaking the flow in several planters.

I set my alarm to see if the generator actually turned on and did its test at 2pm. It DID, so we’re good on that. :0)

While I was out, I was shocked to see that Mother Nature had turned the ‘ripen’ switch on and I had a BUNCH of ripe tomatoes. I gathered a whole basket full. I’ll see if any more need to come in. It had been a while since I’ve been out there, so several of the tomatoes had gone bad. I’ll need to clean up the plants soon.

First, though, I will start a daily get-out-and-work-in-the-yard session now that it’s finally cooling off some. There is a LOT to do, but I’ll TRY to be smart about it and do a bit each day and not hurt myself. That project starts today.

I did two loads of laundry yesterday, folded things and took the basket upstairs. Today I’m washing sheets. My husband asked me to tell him when I’m ready to put clean sheets on the bed, so I’ll do that.

This is my new motivation to lose my lard. It was delivered recently. I like my tops to be loose, so I’ll need to lose a bit more before I can wear this. I absolutely LOVE it, so it’s a good motivation for me to keep my mouth shut. :0)

One of the nurses from our primary doc’s office called yesterday to tell me that our doc has to have a SECOND surgery for the shoulder she broke several months ago snowmobiling with her husband on vacation. The last time we saw her she had her arm in a sling and was going to physical therapy. This is a real bummer.

The nurse asked me if we would agree to see the nurse practitioner at our next scheduled appointment. Since this is a routine appointment, I readily agreed. I asked her to make sure that I was NOT scheduled for the one thyroid blood test that my insurance won’t cover. (I’m disputing that with the company now).

I asked her to tell our doc she’ll be in our thoughts and prayers and thanked the nurse for all the extra work she was having to do to reschedule everyone.

When we go, we’ll be going to the new facility they just moved into, so that will be interesting, too.

I hope today is a nice day for you.
