It was a busy day again today. I did two loads of wash and hung them out on the line. It's the time of year that the sun is lower in the sky and doesn't get up over the trees until about 1:00 in the afternoon. My west side stays shaded most of the day. When the leaves come down, the sun will get through. The clothes do get dry as the afternoon sun is hot.
I got an email that totally ticked me off. I was not angry with the sender but with the person he was referring too. I had gone over the financial stuff with her and explained everything and she went to him and wanted me to do things her way. It had me so upset my blood pressure went sky high. I could feel it and it was made worse because I had a doctor appointment for a checkup in the afternoon. I sent an email back to him explaining the situation and he replied that he understood and knew how demanding the person could be.
I spilled the liquid laundry detergent all over the wall and floor and then knocked my face wash off the shelf in the shower. The plastic bottle broke and it is not cheap. Sparky was acting up because he knew I was getting ready to go out. Somehow he senses these things.
I went to the church early to see if any bills had come in. My Bible Study class was at 10:30 and the discussion was about the shenanigans that was going on with the Contemporary Band. Everyone was in shock and did not know what had happened. I knew but it was confidential and couldn't say anything. That is hard to keep stuff bottled up inside and since the situation was upsetting, that added to my elevated blood pressure.
I came home, walked Sparky, had some lunch and was inspecting Sparky for fleas as he was scratching. I didn't see any on him but I saw one crawling on my arm. I tried to get it to the toilet to flush it down but it got away. I got out the vacuum and hoped I got it up but it was very very small. Needless to say, I was not having a good day.
When I got to the doctors, my blood pressure was higher than it had ever been. I told her I was under a lot of stress since the treasure of the church got sick and I had to take over and get all the reports ready for the district. I talked with her awhile and then laughed about things and felt better. A little humor goes a long way. She took my BP again and it had come down. I was given a flu shot and it's a good thing I chose my left arm and it was really sore afterward.
I took my prescription to Walgreen's and was told it be a half hour so I went to the car wash two doors down. They have a basic wash and dry on Wednesday for $3.00. My car was filthy from the dusty dirt road I went down on Sunday. It is a car wash that you stay in the car and it gets sprayed with soap, squirted along the sides, front, top, and I guess all around then the shammy strips come down and slap the soap all around scrubbing the car. Then comes the rinse and the blow dry. It takes only a few minutes. I should go more often. It doesn't include vacuuming or cleaning the inside windows but it's good to get the dirt off. I can vacuum and do the windows at home.
I went back to pick up my prescription and found flip flops on sale for $1.00. I got 4 pair in different colors as mine all had the middle thing that you stick your toes through come off. Not good when your out walking and a half mile from home. I was able to stick it back in but knew it wouldn't last long.
When I got home, I rested the rest of the day.
