I'm hopeful that things will start looking up again. I took Jeannie to her appointment this morning, but she declined donuts today. Another time.
I returned the Garmin GPS to Costco. I believe it has all the features of my old GPS but they just put new labels on everything, and it takes more steps to get to what I am looking for. It may work better for someone who is used to i-Phones and Apps, but I'm not going to waste brainpower trying to figure it out. I'm wondering if a hand-held GPS might be a better idea for me. I may just do as I usually do for a long trip, and that is to map it out and print it in Mapquest. It's a time consuming process to force Mapquest to map my preferences in traveling, i.e., no interstate travel. But in the end I get what I want and have fun in the planning process.
I took another look at my old GPS and it says no maps are available. Plugging it into my computer, Garmin informs me that I can buy the map set. When I last updated this GPS it was for "lifetime" maps, and I don't know if I want to give them any more money for what I already purchased.
After the trip to Costco to return the GPS and a trip to Walmart Optical to pick up my new eyeglass lens, I was still early for my doctor's appointment but went in anyway. They told me they would call me when an examining room was available. I didn't wait over two minutes until the nurse came to get me - I lost about 3# since last week - and put me in a room to wait for the doctor. I thought I'd be there for a while because it was still half an hour until my appointment, but he walked in the door just a few minutes later. I left with a prescription for the Z-Pack antibiotic. I sure hope to get over this cough very soon as I think it keeps getting worse.
I like this doctor and may decide to select him as my primary care physician.
I came home and decided to make myself a protein shake, and included an extra scoop of ice cream! Got to get those pounds back, although I don't know if it is worth it to have to be obsessed with keeping my weight at a level higher than is comfortable for me to take in calories. It must be just as bad as having to worry about going over your calorie level and gaining weight. I look and feel so much better with the extra pounds so I hate to go back to looking anorexic.
The cooler weather - in the 70's - is just great although it's hot in the sun!

Sorry about the donuts, I was looking forward to hearing about them. But glad you like your doctor and hopefully the medicine will send these germs packing.
ReplyDeleteZ-packs are the best, hope you're feeling better shortly!
ReplyDeletehahaaa … waste brain power… I’m a wonderful waster of brain power…sigh ~ yep … as Sherry … get those germs packing …
ReplyDeleteI bought the lifetime maps for my Garmin, too, and I'm sure not going to be purchasing anything else. Mine is getting kind of old now, but it still does everything I want it to do.
ReplyDeleteMy feeling about new electronics, etc., is that my mind needs the stimulation, so if something new is still fun and I know I'll get it eventually, I go for it. I think we need new things to keep the brain cells going. :)
Turning down donuts? I did not even know that was a thing-as the kids say:)
ReplyDeleteMy GPS has lifetime maps, but when I first plug it in - there is a screen to purchase maps - but somehow I get it to update without purchasing anything, just clicked on different things on the computer until it started updating.
