Well, all grandchildren are back home with last one landing in CA an hour ago. Then get a call that another friend of mine is in hosp. with pneumonia and pleurisy, and her potassium was low. So checked on her today. This makes the sixth friend that has been in hosp. I really sucks to get old. Went and picked up the labs from our family doctor today as he did not call to tell us the whole story about our labs. Hubby is possible iron deficiency anemia. Don’t want to do anything till talk with his heart doctor soon. This could be minor internal bleeding or possible just iron and or vit. B 12 is very low. Doc. did a vit b12 check on me but not him. So stupid. Just don’t know what it is with doctors any longer. They didn’t used to put us off like this. So many people here are complaining about the doctors. Just glad I have medical degree under my belt.I may be retired and not in the field any longer but I can still read and understand labs. So Doctor will get a surprise next visit when we come in with labs in hand. Lots of questions.
So really didn’t do much today as far as prepping and here it is the end of March and I didn’t get as much as I wanted to do done. But with friends and a neighbor in hosp. and grandchildren in and out last 2 to 3 weeks. It has been just all put on hold. So maybe April will bring a better outcome. Got to get garden started. spring cleaning started again with getting all windows washed and curtains washed and hung up again. Then back to the decluttering and starting on getting the shed cleaned out and reorganized so I can find things.
As for prepping items: I have been making a list of things we need and looking at what I need to go through. I have meds such as cold meds, vits. and a lot of other things such as vet. antibiotics that I need to go through and check dates. As I throw out what is way out of date I will be making a list. Only thing is this time I am not so sure I want to replenish these till later as I don’t want to be pitching out the vits that have gone out of date. I only buy when they go on a good sale and buy one get one free deal. but they add up fast.
OldMtWoman, glad to know the weather is getting better out your way. And you have gotten the electric going again. I know I am ready for spring and I can feel it in the air. I am ready to get outside to work garden and flower beds now. Hoping for nice weather tomorrow.
Amy, I have several of the N95 mask that I got when working for doc. I am going to check them out to make sure all is ok as they have been in top of my closet for several years. I think there is about 100 of them. Should be ok though. I like the idea of being able to reuse them as I didn’t know you could do things to clean them like that. Great idea.
