Here we are at the end of the month and the end of summer. I went out to get the mail, and the traffic reminded me that it was Labor Day Weekend. Having grown up on Cape Cod, I am used to seasonal tourists. So, here we go with this week’s Friday Five.
- My carpenter finished installing the new windows on my screened porch. It is now bug-free and beautiful!
The inside looking toward the lake.
I need to brag a little. I stained the wood used inside the porch 25 years ago. - Over the last few months, I’ve been keeping track of my morning blood sugar levels. When I saw my Primary Care, I brought the readings. She took one look and called in her nurse to take my blood, check the sugar levels, and get an A1C.
Well, much to my surprise, my A1C was 9.3! That is not a good thing at all. - It was determined I needed to start some medication that day. It was decided that I would start on Ozempic—a once-a-week shot. Getting old is not for the faint of heart.
- Heidi and I are starting to recover from Lili’s death. She still sticks to me like glue, but I noticed she did well with two people who came to our house today.
She was happy and friendly and did not wee. Our relationship gets deeper and deeper.
- So, things are settling down, and Heidi and I are both doing well. Tomorrow is laundry and vacuuming day. Ugh! Oh, well, it is what it is.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I like your new header. You come off as a very likable person. You’re very pretty. Your new porch looks like a great place to relax and read a book with your pup and a glass of wine.
