"Tony" Thought Journal 3.0

I dropped my wife off for her stress test. I just finished one of my morning favorites cereal with sliced banana.

Worrying about her test I didn't sleep much last night. I was thinking of taking a nap while I wait for her call to pick her up she said the test takes about a 3-hours. it's better I stay up rather than Chance missing her call.

The outdoor temperature is supposed to get close to 60 degrees today. I am preparing mentally what I'd like to do as far as gardening goes. My wife usually does the pruning and our Crepe Myrtle needs it badly. I'm planning on feeding the evergreen shrubs, setting up the hoses and a general cleanup of the yard. Before I can do any of that though I have to clean out my old car I'm going to Junk it. the car is running but it has numerous problems, they're all fixable but to be honest I don't have the patience to wait for a buyer.

Today I'm going to go slow because I'm tired because of lack of sleep tomorrow is another day.

Do you have the opportunity to consult with a naturopathic doctor? An osteopath in your area?

Maybe you could donate your car to one of the charities that will come pick it up and give you a receipt for tax purposes. I have personally donated old cars to Make-A-Wish foundation and an organization that provides housing to disabled vets, but there are many others that do the same thing. It saves a lot of hassle and they don't even care if it runs.

I'm a big fan of our vets. Used to write to them in war.Some didn't get letters so we sent from AnySoldier.com
 
Got a call yesterday from my oncologist office we made an appointment for me to get a B12 shot this morning. I think they forgot about me because I haven't had one in a couple of months. I was getting them monthly.

I hope the shot helps by giving me more energy I've been dragging my tail lately. Yesterday I took three naps just felt a need to lay down even if only a half hour.

There's this feeling I've been getting now and then the last couple of weeks where my body feels like jelly and just tingles, it will last for about an hour. When this happens it makes me weak, I can't do much but watch TV or sleep.

Every morning the first thing I think of doing is to check out my seedlings. It's the same thing once they're transplanted can't wait to check to see how they're growing and if they get in their first flowers. I hope my enthusiasm keeps up.
 
I'm back from getting my B12 shot, I got to the office extra early. They have a sponsored Book Rack where you can take your unwanted books or take any book you want. Every time I go to this office I've checked out the book rack to see if there's anything interesting. Today I did find a book that I would like to at least skim through. It's title is "The Book of Nordic Self-Care", the front cover reads "Find Piece And Balance Through Seasonal Rituals, Connecting With Nature, Mindfulness Practices, And More."

Flipping through the pages, I notice there are recipes. That's something I will check out. There is also beautiful color pictures.

There is a bookmark in the book with photos of what looks like either a library or a bookstore it's written in a foreign language, the word Salka is on it a few times?

The Book is in like new condition, I will return it when I am finished with it.
 
Just got back from running errands to pick up some dessert for after dinner tonight.

I decided to go to a bakery rather than a grocery store because I already had grocery store Irish soda bread for tonight. I wanted to try some made in the bakery so I purchased two more Irish soda breads one with icing one without.
I also picked up some mini tarts for when the kids get home from school as a nice treat for them.

They had some really beautiful fruit topped cheesecakes, that I picked up one for after dinner. They were loaded with strawberries & blueberries.

When I got home my wife wanted to see the cheesecake what it look like. When I opened the box the blueberries was stuck to the cover, the box was much too small. My wife must have seen my disappointment in my face because she said she'll try to fix it. She did but it wasn't like the original.

Not only did she have the cheesecake in a box too small she had it on the bottom of the bag with all the other things I bought on top of it.

I called the Bakery to alert them to train their help on proper box size. I actually got the girl that did the packaging I told her what happened in a calm voice and told her to be careful next time I didn't want to upset her, she was young and didn't know any better.

the good news it's still edible just messed up a little.

Disappointing because that stuff is not cheap. Hopefully it will still be delicious, though.

I'm sure it'll taste good. You're right it is expensive, for one cheese cake, 2 Irish soda breads, 6 mini tarts it was $66. First I picked up a tray of cookies it was very small. I asked how much it was $27.They said it was 1.5 lbs. I put it back and said I'd rather get a cake or a cheesecake.
 
Temperatures drop last night too cold to go outside to work in the yard for me which I was planning on doing today. I was hoping even to get a half hour in but it's not going to happen today. I wanted to push doing something today to try to get rid of this blase feeling.

I haven't shaved in about a week I got the beginning of a beard, I probably should take the time to shave today. I spent close to 50 years shaving every day. since I retired I shave twice a week. I wonder how many men do the same thing don't shave daily after retirement.

I'm really hooked on Spotify I've made about 15 playlist with hundreds of songs. I've made mixes with all genre, and some with soundtracks, instrumental Etc.

I'll have to find something else to accomplish today I'm looking forward to watching the WBC ball game later.

I also want to find a takeout place of food supper tonight.

I follow many other guys whop do as you do and shave twice a week after years of shaving daily. A friend says he "shaves on Wednesday for his wife and Sunday for his God."
 
This afternoon I have an appointment with my cardiologist. I'm hoping he doesn't want to do any more testing if you see something wrong and there's a pill give me it.

it's annoying that a lot of our time in the last few months has been taken up with billing issues for MSK and Prudential Insurance.

With MSK there sending me a bill for a date I was not being treated. so far it's been impossible for me to contact a live body. I will go into billing on my next visit which is April 1st.

With Prudential Life Insurance we've been trying to pay our premium since January.

in January my wife paid her life insurance premium online like we normally do no problem, when she went to pay mine there was a problem with the website my payment could not be paid online. she called Prudential they could not fix the online problem so they told us we have to mail a check because they did not accept payments over the phone.
I personally mailed the check on a Sunday in the mailbox in front of the post office. fortunately my wife went online and was looking at her checking account and for whatever reason she decided to examine the check that she got back. someone had washed out the Prudential name and replaced it with another and cash the check in other words the check was stolen.

we spent about a week in and out of our bank making police reports, putting in FTC claim, putting in a claim with the post office. Closing that compromise account reopening another account, simply put it was a mess.

We explain to Prudential what happened and that the website still was not accepting payment so again they suggested we send the check. This time we sent the check with tracking. Per the Post Office online tracking Prudential received the check on March 4th. A day later she looks up the check online in her checking account and it shows it's paid with photos of the check.

the Prudential online website shows the payment is still due. she calls Prudential and they claimed they never got the check "we said Here We Go Again", we are still in talks with Prudential we sent them photos of the check, let's see what happens.
