Better Late Than Never As The Saying Goes / myLot

Happy Monday Everyone! it's a beautiful sunny day here today. I'm here way later than usual. But, as the saying goes, better late than never. Was up early as I had a doctor appointment and then had to go for bloodwork. Yikes, they took 5 vials of blood and it didn't hurt at all. The girl who took my blood was a pro. After that I was starving since I had to fast so my daughter and I went out for breakfast. We haven't done that in a long time and it was so nice to sit, relax and be waited on. We ran a few errands while out and about and now I'm home and she had a few additional errands she wanted to do but I was just too tired. So, while I'm waiting for her to get home I figured it was a good time to pop on here and say hi . Hope everyone had a good weekend, enjoyed Easter if you celebrated and that your Monday is off to a good start.

Easter was nice and at home with my family. Hope the rest of your day is nice.

Happy Monday, Marilyn! You certainly accomplished a lot this morning! It’s a beautiful sunny day here and the temperatures are climbing into the low 80s - a sign it’s almost time to return north. I hope you enjoyed your Easter and your family. Since you mentioned breakfast out with your daughter, I just got hungry. I’m in the shade on our lanai and just saw hubs pull up with groceries, so time for lunch! Enjoy your day

I'm not used to being up so early and out without any coffee

It's been a long time since we had breakfast out and I indulged in pancakes, sausage and hash browns (all unhealthy

) but it was soooo good. Now I'm full and will probably skip lunch so all those calories can be spread across most of the day!

. And I usually don’t have lunch! I can blame you for making me so hungry. We took our granddaughter out to our favorite breakfast place last Tuesday. It just so happens to be directly across the street from where hubs goes for his rehab 3X per week. My favorite is a 5 egg omelet, fried potatoes, and 2 thick slices of bread. Extremely unhealthy, but I had grilled cheese with bacon last week.

I had bloodwork last week, but they only took 3 vials. It didn't hurt, either.

At least your blood draw was accompanied by some nice breakfast.

We really don't celebrate Easter. I worked all day and Monday was just the same. Tuesday early morning here and it's already very hot at 7 in the morning. It's going to be a hot working day again today.

I'm glad you had a good nurse for all the blood she drew on you. I'm glad you and your daughter went out for breakfast. It makes that fast worth it. I had a quiet Easter. My son and his girlfriend couldn't make it, so we scheduled dinner for next week.

Yeah, they sure seem to want a lot of vials of blood don't they? It's weird how errands can really be taxing. Do you think it's age or expenditure?

I know what you mean about being served. I work extra time on Mondays to enjoy a short time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My hubs was home today, so he got out some t-bone steaks, started the baked potatoes and set the table before I finished work. It will be nice to sit down, tired from work, but still able to converse and enjoy his cooking.
