ch ch ch changes

I am sill wearing short sleeved t shirts


    Granted, I have a sweatshirt on over them, but I am still in short sleeves.
    
    The temp outside is 44, but with the wind it feels like 29.  And it is damp.

    I know that because I just ran an errand into town.

    That was my second trip of the day.  I went to Walmart to buy a turkey for Thanksgiving.

    In my usual style, I bought bananas, pork and beans, macaroni salad, picked up a prescription, got some packing tape and was headed to the check out line with a nagging thought I had forgotten something.

    I asked myself why I had come in the first place and remembered the turkey.  Thanksgiving dinner is now partially stored in the freezer downstairs.

    Jackie and I had tele-health calls today.  

    I do not know how to put my phone into speaker mode when I have my hearing aids in.  Even when I took them out, I could not do it.  So I told the nice lady my problem and asked her to call back.

    She did, and then I could put the phone into speaker mode, but something happened and we lost the connection

    When she called for the third time, I once again could not get the phone into speaker mode.
    
    It took 4 calls, but we finally completed the tele-conference.

    Not sure why we do. them.  Our PCP  asks the same types of questions.  At least I think PCP stands for primary care physician, right?  

    One of the questions she asked me is if I often feel tired and run down.  I said, "I'm 77....of course I do!"

    She also asked about sadness and depressions.  I was honest.  I frequently feel down, angry, stressed.  I also said I had plenty of friends who are always willing to listen to me.  And I told her I talk to dog Beth a lot, which is true.

    Our call would have been 15 minutes shorter if I was a little more technically skilled on my cell phone.

    Guess I need another lesson.

    Julia and Emily, beware!

Peace and Love
