Saturday, November 9, 2024, MN

 The race was on right away on Wednesday, I had a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist and the meds that I am taking for the pumping function of my heart are working - the percentage has increased from 49% to 55% - 51% was the goal. I left there feeling pretty good and don’t have to return for a year.

I got back just in time to help out with the food truck. We got all of the fixings for thanksgiving dinner and then some.   

I cleaned for Ben on Thursday and Deb walked Joey for me.  That is such a nice service as I am tired when I get back home and can have a short rest. A hot bath in Epsom Salts feels so good.

Yesterday was time to have my teeth cleaned and it always feels so good when I leave and I have learned, once again, that my teeth are in great shape and I do a good job of keeping them that way.

Ben and Jill needed a little help with jockeying kids around yesterday, as there was no school and they all had different things going on today.  Dennis and Ben got them to events.  I went to the high school and picked up Camille for her play practice (she will be in “Cats” in the spring) and then we headed to the middle school to get Charlotte after swim practice.  We drove through Wendy’s and got Frostys for them before going back to their house.

Camille wanted some help in hanging some fancy string lights in her room, so we got that done and then she and I played a few rounds of bingo - Norah was into reading a book, so she didn’t join in and Charlotte had gone to be with a friend.  When we were done with bingo, she wanted to do my makeup or nails and we opted for gel nails as I have never had them before.  She was such a great nail technician, complete with prepping the nails and cleaning up the cuticles, applying a base coat, polish, and top coat - and then topping it off with a nice lotion treatment.  She is such a sweetheart!
