1. I woke up this morning to discover, happily, that we were between storms in North Idaho. I piled into the Camry and felt gratitude as I hurtled on I-90 to Kingston to pick up Ed and then on to Coeur d'Alene that the roads were wet, but clear of snow and ice.
First stop: Kootenai Health Laboratory Services. Once again, KHS grad and Moon Gulch resident Jayden took charge of drawing my blood and when I asked her, she told me how nerve wracking it had been on Tuesday to drive over the 4th of July Pass with fist-sized snowflakes falling in the dark. Today, we agreed, was much easier.
So far, the only problem I see in my blood work is a low level of magnesium in my blood. My guess is that I'll get instructions this week to bump my dosage of magnesium supplements up a pill or two.
Otherwise, I thought my blood work looked stable and encouraging.
More results still to come. 🤞🤞🤞
2. Ed joined me today, not so much so he could wait for me to have my blood drawn, but because it was, as always, in the middle of the week, Winning Wednesday at the CdA Casino.
We played with mixed luck until lunch time and I redeemed my birthday gift from the casino along with my monthly food voucher. That covered most of our lunch and I covered the rest.
We enjoyed our food a lot. I ate five Buffalo wings with an order of fries and Ed raved about how good the beef stew, garden salad, and garlic bread tasted.
That was it.
We blasted back to the Silver Valley on roads that remained clear and safe in afternoon daylight.
3. I hardly slept at all Tuesday night and into the morning and, thank goodness, I didn't have anything pressing to do when I returned home.
So I sat in a living room chair with Gibbs on my lap and slept.
I recovered enough to go to Yoke's for some cat food and few essentials and returned home.
By 9:30 it was time once again for the sandman.
Copper and I had a restful and peaceful night.
