Wednesday I went to the base and picked up our prescriptions, shopped the PX a bit and bought a pile of groceries. Sometimes it fascinates me that two people can consume so much stuff ! It was really crowded. A lot of the troops have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. I may just start going every three months when I need to pick up medicine. There is a savings to shop there but mercy it wears you out !
Wednesday AM I got up and got ready to go and then got Cowboy bathed and dressed. I made him shave and everything. I was in the process of getting things together and he goes to the closet, gets his hat and jacket and starts out the door. I asked him where he was going and he said he was going with me. I explained that Marsha was coming and he was going to stay home. He seemed surprised and maybe a little disappointed.
Yesterday (Thursday) we had an appointment with the VA doctor, the routine every six months thing. His test results looked good except his Vitamin D is low. I suspect that is because he is going outside less and less. I will get a supplement for him but will also try to get him outside more.
I felt really sluggish yesterday afternoon so laid down and took a nap. an unusual thing for me. I made chicken enchilladas last night and Cowboy normally really enjoys them. He ate very little. He went to bed at 7:30.
Today Marsha was here and I went got a haircut, took some things to Goodwill, got a slice of pizza and went to the grocery store. 3 hours, gone.
I have decided we will wait until Monday the 20th to drive to the kids. I want to be sure we are both fully recovered. Called the kids and let them know.
Cowboy seems better today. He is still coughing but not so much and doesn't seem quite as droopy. I got him out and we walked around the block with the dog. It was sunny but windy.
