The outside temps are a nice 60 (F); those adverse to heat need to prep themselves because if the forecast holds we're going to top off around 90 (F). I find this amusing since my neighbors have been running their window A/C units none stop for the past month, even on those days when the temps dropped down into the 40s (F) over night. They are going to melt if we get an extended stretch with our temps in the upper 90s (F). We have another 2 weeks until we legitimately hit summer.
For a Tuesday, I think much was accomplished including 2 loads of laundry which were dried outside.
I did have my bloodwork yesterday morning, they took 5 vials, rather than the normal 4, as well as a urine sample. Amusingly enough, I had a senior moment, or maybe I didn't. My blood gets drawn at the Rossmoyne Clinic. I used that clinic regularly for years. Then, 6 years ago my PCP retired and he was replaced by an Asian woman who was a Physician's Assistant. A few months into Covid, I did something to my shoulder and couldn't move it without having severe pain. So, I called to make an appointment and... she refused to see me. She wanted me to leave a voicemail detailing pain, inability to move my shoulder and arm in order for her to decide if I should have x-rays taken. When I reminded her assistant that I worked for the Great Orange Retailer and was considered an essential employee and was dealing with hundreds of people daily, her assistant told me, "it doesn't make a difference, she's not going to see you." In my opinion this physician's assistant failed totally; it's why I go to the Lebanon Clinic. So yesterday, after filling my pee cup, I stepped out of the restroom and saw her assistant sitting next to where I'd sat to have my blood draw, scrolling away on her phone, and that memory flashed through my head and... I walked by the tray where I was supposed to put my specimen. Was it a senior moment? Possibly... and possibly not.
Howie's 10 months old today. He told me he's ready for his closeup.
