Thursday evening. It has been another busy day and a good day too. As I told you, I was to have my physical exam this morning. I did and everything went very well. I had read my lab reports yesterday evening on “Deaconess View My Chart” so I already knew what he would be saying. And sure enough, he did: —- “ somebody has been eating too many donuts.”  All of my tests were good with the exception of my blood sugars and they were pretty high. Not diabetes high but higher than they should be. So, I know he’s right and I need to slack off on my sweets. The problem is that all of the things I really like to eat convert to sugar, stuff like pasta, potatoes and of course the desserts. I have another physical next May and I will try to bring my numbers down a little. 

We had a little incident last evening concerning Kate’s last piece of Apple pie. I had put the pie pan back in the oven because I knew I would be having it for a mid-night snack. I told Kate where it was. We, about supper time Kate was going to fix some biscuits. To go with supper. She turned the oven on to heat it up and searched in the refrigerator for a can of biscuits and didn’t find any, and thought no more about the oven. As we sat watching television I kept thinking I smelled something burning. Finally I got up and checked the stove and oven. There, baking at 450 degrees was that poor piece of pie as well as the pie scoop. I have never seen anything come out of an oven that black and burnt. Frankly, it is a wonder that we didn’t have a fire. Needless to say, the pie was completely inedible. And the pie plate, (her favorite) is ruined. I was able to save the pie scoop after a lot of cleaning. However —- Amazon delivers and she found a couple of pie plates that she thinks are going to be good replacements, and she bought two new pie scoops too. What would we do without Amazon???

While we were at the doctor’s office, we got our flu shots. We asked Dr. Jackson about getting our Covid shots and he said the latest version hasn’t come out yet and probably won’t until sometime in November. So he said we should wait because the strain of the vaccine that people are currently using does no good against the strain of the virus that currently going around. 

We went out for dinner at “Ma T China Bistro” because I was hungry for some ramen noodles. Ms T’s is a favorite place. For you locals, it is on Vogel Avenue and I highly recommend it. 

My television show is coming on so I’m out of here. Have a blessed day. Peace.
