Thursday, July 31

Last day of a relatively cool month for a state in the south. We were up around 7:30 to get ready to go to the hospital to meet Hubbie's appointment for a CT scan. His appointment was scheduled for 10:30.


We arrived at the hospital around 10:15, and it was around 30 minutes before he was called back. The test didn't take long, and he was back in the waiting room around 11:15. We stopped by the hospital cafeteria to see if breakfast was still being served, but it wasn't, so we headed home.


At home, Hubbie was in the mood for eggs, so I scrambled some, adding leftover sautéed potatoes from last night, and a slice of American cheese. Served the eggs with toast and homemade jelly, and cups of coffee.


Mother stayed home this morning, of course. She has containers of leftovers in her freezer, and she chose what she wanted to microwave for her lunch today.


After lunch, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, and she went to her jigsaw puzzle, while Hubbie and ran errands. First we went to the library to take a DVD back and pick up to that were being held for us. A library staff member called yesterday to tell us the DVDs were available.


From the library, we went to the newspaper office to drop off this week's word search puzzle contest. Then we went to the post office to mail a package of coupons to Granddaughter; to the pharmacy to pick a prescription for Mother; and lastly to the WDCS for a few groceries.


Back home, Mother and I went to the kitchen to start a recipe of potato soup. Naturally,  I promptly discovered we didn't have celery, so Hubbie went back to the grocery store to get a stalk. He picked up a bag of sugar while he was there, because I used the last of ours making a large container of lemonade (Hubbie is supposed to drink lots and lots of fluids to flush the dye out of his system).


After making the soup, Mother went back to her puzzle, and Hubbie and I relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Later, I served the soup with slices of toasted rye bread topped with melted baby Swiss cheese.


Mother was ready to go home soon afterward, so Hubbie accompanied her. I went over there later and put drops in her eyes. Hubbie and I spent the evening watching "The Good Wife" episodes.
