Disposable Drugs

You know how they say never to flush old pills? From time to time there are "Bring your unused RX and we'll dispose them" days at random locations.

Today I had some to get rid of so I took them to my local pharmacy. She said, just put them right over there. "Over there" was a large, blue metal container that reminded me of a street mail box, complete with pull down door. I said, "I never noticed that before." She replied, "We just got it."
My brilliant answer was, "I guess I'm not as unobservant as I thought," and threw my pills in the slot!

It's very warm for May -  again. This afternoon I rested until time for my favorite program (?) and slept right through it and for the next four hours. So no long discussion of the program with my favorite sister-in-law.

I hope I'm not up too late tonight.

Wednesday

The local radio talk show was on today. Once a week the locals can call in and express themselves.
I don't know why I listen. Occasionally there is a question about a local matter and that is informative. Most of the rest of the time is spent on politics.

We had two separate errands - weed eater twine (?)  I'm not sure what it is actually called. And a trip for dog bones. The OTC product has helped. Too bad I didn't try it four weeks ago. Still have a way to go to be clear of this stuff. I don't think it's allergies.

Graduation Time and the Prom Dress

In 1949 this was a powder blue gown with white embossed flowers on it. I thought it was very cool.

I love how Mom got the tree centered.  I even had hair!

Uneventful

Yesterday was another day of not much going on. We did run one errand in the 84 degree heat. There was a breeze so it was pretty refreshing. Later in the day it got MUCH warmer.

Trying to rest, I went to bed about  6:30 and slept until midnight when the dog who is a pest started barking. Just one little bark so I figured the doggy door was in place and she couldn't get out. Nope. She was just making noise. Back to bed and she decided to go outside and let the neighbors know she was awake. Back to the door, rattling the cannister lid with the treats was the next step. You can call her forever but she answers to metal on metal if it's the treat can.

I slept some more after that until about 5:00. I think maybe the rest is helping. I am contemplating buying something OTC for mucous.  If this takes a month to get over, my month is almost up.

Another Hot One

We just stayed in except Lee went out to get the mail. Speaking of mail, I mailed a card to New Jersey on Tuesday. I imagined a delivery date of Thursday. Would you believe it didn't arrive until today - Saturday! It was a birthday card with the notation in the upper right hand corner of the envelope: More postage may be required. . .or something like that. So I put three stamps on it. Maybe that slowed it down.

Anyway, it got there on the date of my sister-in-law's birthday. She is ten years younger than I and we try to Skype every day. Lately we get cut off after about three or four minutes. We keep trying until we get our day's events discussed. It beats the telephone, even if we do get disconnected. We can't possibly complain because it's free!

Another Rx

A trip to the pharmacy today to pick up a prescription for each of us. In the bag was an extra one for me that I did not order. It was dated yesterday and was from our physician.

I have not talked to the nurse or the doctor's office since May 14th.  Why they ordered this, I do not know.  So far every antibiotic I have tried has made me sick. I do not intend to try something I had no knowledge was being ordered! The clerk told me to bring it back.

Very weird.

Weather

Another hot day. The weather folks say we may break a record Sunday with a high of 96. Can hardly wait for August.

Thank goodness for A/C.

And thanks for the kind messages. I am feeling much better today. Sleeping seems to help - naps are sometimes a good thing.
