At Home in Packers Country - 29 August

Okay, so here's the story. Today, I have a doctor's appointment. Nothing to worry about. When you turn 65 the doctor does a Medicare evaluation. So yes, @BelleStarr, today is my day with the doctor, and I'm ready. The questionnaire is filled out, I have my drugs in my bag, ready to go. Knowing there's the possibility of bloodwork, I haven't had breakfast yet, something I'm not planning on until after I get home. I determined that last night and being that it's after 9, I'm not hungry, which normally I am starving by this time of the morning. I'm going to interact until I leave, and then it will be all book when I get home. I did 2+ chapters yesterday. I would have done three, but it rained all day, and then the thunder started in along with the lightning, so I thought it would be wise to get off the computer. I watched a movie on Netflix, I do not recommend to anyone, called Come Sunday. It's a 'Christian' movie. Martin Sheen is in it, but I have no idea who played Bishop Carlton Pearson who went off the deep end with his theology. The story is based on fact. If you've seen it, you know why I don't recommend it. Looking out, I'm seeing the clouds are dissipating and blue skies are starting to take over the sky. Looks like it will be a nice day after the nearly three inches of necessary rain we got yesterday. That should bring some life back to our lawns. So, that's what's happening here. When I get my book finished and published, I will resume the Favorite Westerns series and Today in History. For now, you'll see me when I'm here. I should finish Thread of Evidence before the end of the month, and yes, I know that is only a couple days from now, but I only have 8 chapters left, so it's doable. How are things with you? Thanks for reading.

Come Sunday is not a faith based movie nor following Christian themes. It's a progressive liberal propaganda production seeking to attack and undermine Christian fundamentalism and beliefs. Martin Sheen is a radical socialist leftist (they tend to be anti-Christian and church) so naturally this movie would appeal to him and he would never be in a faith based movie. He plays Oral Roberts and liberals despise evangelists.

@Kandae11 Sheen is very much a radical activist which is his right and privilege.

Things here are interesting. The first day the kids were in school the house was deathly quiet. I finally got accustomed to it. We have had a good first week of school. Right now I am not reading anything. I keep trying to find free ebooks on Bookbub but I can't seem to get interested in any of them that I download.

@just4him It is a bit at the time. They are tired and going to sleep earlier so that helps. I just have to make sure that they don't crash for a nap when they get home in the afternoons!

@Shellyann36 Yeah, that would make it hard for school schedules if they did that.

I actually laugh a little bit at how much time I spend at doctor's offices these days. Never spent much time at all, but as you get older suddenly you have all these appointment cards lying around. Oh the joys of getting older.

Is that what it is, the joy of getting older. I'll always be young at heart. Right now I still have more hair appointment cards than medical appointment cards, but I'm sure that will change too.

@just4him Hey. That's a good thing. I am only 45 but my doctor's appointments exceed my hair appointments. Although THAT being said, I do cut my own hair sometimes.

Things are OK here just trying to stay cool. So far, I have not needed any fans or AC but it is coming..I can feel I am starting to perspire a little. Hopefully, the doctor goes OK.

The doctor went just fine, thank you. I haven't needed it a lot, and last night was the first time in a couple months I didn't have my ceiling fan on when I went to bed.

It turned out to be the only meal I had that day, though it was a large one considering how hungry I was when I got home.

We have such yellow lilies in the front garden. Nobody cares for them but they bloom faithfully every year.

We had a nice reprieve from the rain yesterday, but the clouds are forming for rain coming in tonight.
