It's been a day!
I had my infusion this morning. Yeah, it didn't go like I hoped, but it was better than the last time. Only two pokes instead of four. My appointment was for 9 AM. Because my veins are never cooperative, they didn't get the IV started until 10. I should have been long gone by that time, not just starting the medication drip. I asked for two pillows behind my back. It wasn't doing so well this morning and those hard hospital recliners don't make it easy on a back that is already in full flare. I walked out of there at 10:30.
Then it was a stop at Aldi for vegetables to go with my meals. I need something on my plate besides meat and fish. I didn't have a lot left on my FoodShare card, so I figured I would get the most for my money there, and did. I got what I needed with a few cents to spare on the card.
By the time we got home, my back was in full flare. I was also hungry. I hadn't eaten more than an apple with almond butter before we left. It was already after noon when we got home. I say we because my neighbor is my driver for all my appointments. I don't have a car. So, we naturally go everywhere together.
After breakfast for lunch, I settled against the heating pad, watched a show I was falling asleep to, paused it, settled the recliner in full recline position, let the heat settle into my back, and enjoyed thirty minutes of sleep.
After I finished watching the episode, I turned on the computer and got a little bit of work done on New Horizons - Beginning. This is coming along well. I have a lot of worldbuilding going on with this one. It's shaping up nicely.
Now, I'm here before I close out the computer. I hope you had a good day. Mine turned out well. Everything got done the way it was supposed to. For me that's a win. Something to be grateful for.
How did your day go? Let me know in the comments below. For now, though it would be nice to answer all the notifications from you wonderful friends and people, I must get back to my heating pad.
The image belongs to me. Meet Libby and Banner, my newest bears. Thanks for reading.

I’m sorry to hear your infusion process took longer than it should. When you’re in pain, that’s a problem.
My day was fantastic. I got to spend three hours with my dad, running around, and it was so fun. I also got a new pillow, which I was ridiculously excited about.

I spent yesterday under my blanket, trying to sleep on and off. My shoulder/s were hurting too much to do anything. I hope your back is better.
Cute bears.

The bears are cute. You had a challenging day for sure. What's a Food Share card?

I hope you get some more rest tonight. My world was warm and sunny today. I did a little hoeing out of quack grass. For me, being out in the green world is the best way to be. The chain link fence was very close and easy to grab if I felt the need.

I'm glad your day went the way you hoped. What vegetables did you find and how do you like to eat them? I'm always looking for ideas. My day was good. I drove to the city for an appt, met up with someone who bought an expensive molecular from me, treated myself to my free belated birthday breakfast at Denny's, birthday drink at Starbucks, shopped for a plant stand, picked up a Walmart order so i didn't have to shop, and picked up my Dutch Bros birthday drink as a pour over to take home for two drinks the next couple days. Love those freebies and glad I was able to go and use them before they expired. The rest of the evening was misc. chores and cooking dinner for everyone.

Thankfully they don't have trouble finding a vein on me, not that they've needed very often. Thinking about I do have regular blood tests so I guess they count.
