Yesterday, I had to use Vanity Post #14 because I had myself on a strict schedule in order to make sure I was able to get to my EARLY doctor’s appointments on time today. I’m happy to report that I did, indeed, get there on time — fifteen minutes early, in fact. Even though I was stressing a bit about it, the procedure went well — though I haven’t heard the results yet. However, I was reminded of something after one failed attempt at having an IV inserted into my arm: I MUST remember to request an “ultrasound IV” whenever I have such a procedure done in the future!
Anyway… Since Sweet Thing also had a doctor’s appointment later this afternoon, I had thought that we could have a picnic between appointments, especially since today is International Picnic Day. Sadly, the “picnic between appointments” didn’t happen, but I WAS able to celebrate International Picnic Day — with a “picnic on the porch” overlooking my beautiful pond. While I ate, I did nothing but enjoy the sights and sounds of “my holler in Kentucky”: ripples on the pond’s surface from the rain and a bunny grazing “al fresca” in the front yard, seemingly oblivious to the pouring rain, along with the chirping of nearby birds and croaking frogs. It was a relaxing — and enjoyable — way to end the day of many appointments!
