the doc says...

"See you in June!"

i thank You, God.

 

That "doc" would be my cardiologist, which is why this was so important to me.

 

It was my post-surgery visit, which had somehow been scheduled for the absurd time of 0845.

Yes, as in 8 hours and 45 minutes past midnight.

As I told them, that's the time of my first alarm, the one that tells me to take my Synthroid so I can have coffee when the second alarm rings at 9:21 AM.

 

Of course, I'd called his office to try to get the time changed, but I would have had to wait until the end of January to see him.

Nope, that wasn't an option.

So, there I was, bright and early.

Actually, with the heavy fog that had descended upon Savannah, wrapping everything in shrouds of mist, it wasn't that bright.

Ordinarily, there would be a clear view of St. Joseph's Hospital when standing outside his office.

 

As for inside his office, I found myself in Exam Room 4, one I'd never seen.

That's because it was a busy morning and the first three rooms were full.

 

I was early.

I'd arrived at 0830, concerned about being late.

By the time this photo was taken at 0848, I'd had my EKG and was waiting on the results.

Within five minutes, he'd told me I was good to go, so I did, back onto the foggy roads.

i thank You, God, for Truman Parkway.

This lovely shot of the flaming trees across the street from my house was taken at 0914.

Ten minutes later, I was back in my nightgown and under the covers, straight into dreamland.

No lawnmowers or leaf blowers disturbed me.

 

I slept the sleep of the contented, deeply and warm, until a quarter of noon.

Delicious to have slumbered so well!

Today, the high is to reach the low 70's, which is a blessed break from the 50's of Thursday and Friday.

The pattern of late is three days of warmth, usually at the week's start, then the song going into low notes by midweek. 

Believe me when I say that I'll gratefully take whatever number of warm days I am allotted at this time of year, and I'll open up the house to invite inside every bit of it.

This day, which is amazingly still Monday, will be shared with Carolyn, and perhaps Sandy, too.

I've invited them to join me for the new Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult movie.

That will be at 4:45 PM, which will be a little later than I usually go, but it's a little early for them.

Compromise, right?

I'm hoping they'll join me at Houlihan's for dinner.

 

Between that time and now, though, my brunch will be these leftovers from the church holiday party.

Then, I truly must set about finishing the Christmas cards that need to be mailed.

So, ta ta for now!
