1. Labs at Kootenai. Specialty labs at Sacred Heart. Lots of vials!
It all went smoothly and the gray overcast skies greatly enhanced my enjoyment of driving to CdA and Spokane. I know it's common for people to be bummed out by gray weather and uplifted by sunny days, but I'm the opposite. The sun doesn't give me energy but saps it out of me whereas the cooler gray days energize me, raise my spirits.
2. In between my stops at the two medical centers, I cruised to Cougar Bay on Lake CdA and visited longtime friend Jeff Steve at the lake house where he grew up, overlooking the bay and the lake. He fixed us a bracing and delicious breakfast. I got to meet his longtime friend, Kit, who is a longtime Eugene resident, but our paths never crossed there it seems. I enjoyed getting acquainted with Kit and had a most enjoyable visit with Jeff, especially as he told me about new developments in his world as a builder of canoes, kayaks, surf boards, and standing paddle boards.
3. I left Sacred Heart and made my way to Pines Road and drove south to Freeman, Rockford, and on into Idaho where I stopped in at the CdA Casino for an hour or so of Winning Wednesday fun. I relaxed, kept my losses low today, and, after I used the free play money I got for this week, I used my August food voucher and enjoyed a mushroom and Swiss burger on the house.
My hour and a half playing and dining was fun. Even more fun and enjoyable, though, was the drive from South Spokane through pine forest land and golden grain fields through Freeman and Rockford. I enjoyed the drive so much that I'm thinking about adding some time to my next trip to the casino and driving this Spokane Valley to Rockford route again, possibly stopping at the Harvest Moon in Rockford for a bite to eat.
Come to think of it, this might be a fun trip to make after my next labs at Kootenai.
Unless I hear differently, that should be in two weeks.
