Bring Your Dog to Work Day

    I was up really early to go to Wichita to see my RA doctor.  A good visit.  Good to be there but the trip was a trip or errors!  Nothing bad though. 

    Started out with enough time to get there.  BUT.  First the interstate highway was under construction.  Had to go slow.  Second got to Wichita & one of the streets I drive on a lot was closed.  CLOSED???  Why?  It was closed last year.  Now what.  Third I got on the street I needed & missed my turn.  I was late.  Grrrr.

    The lady who checked me in was anything but pleasant.  She was not friendly or pleasant or nice.  Most of the help is always friendly.  Maybe it was not her day.

    I found out that my pharmacy telling me every time I want to renew a pill my RA doc has ordered is required for me to see my RA doc. For every bottle???  Not a chance.  Once a year is all.  I quit taking it as I see my eye doc twice a year at least.  NOT every month.  I am calling them next week.  Sheesh.  Next visit a bone scan is scheduled.  My one wrist is worse than the other.  I can get an injection if I need.  Will wait a while.  And there is a tiny brace I can wear if needed.  Good to know.

    I ate breakfast at home before leaving.  With my V8 power drink.  Nothing bad in it but does keep me alert.  So I needed some lunch.  I chose Brahms.  Had a chocolate malt, french fries & an ice water.  Awesome malt!!

    There was a surprise with the water.  The lid was on but it was not a tight seal.  I lifted it for a sip & I doused my neck, chest, tummy, & slacks with icy water.  Wakes one up pretty quick!!  And in Wichita traffic!!!

    Traffic was heavy going to the city & coming home.  Wow.  At least it was 4 lanes.

    JR & I ate at Jalisco's for supper.  Sad to find out one of the kitchen help left.  I really liked him.  Seems like anyone I like goes away.

    And for the first time in 3 years, we had a shaved ice drinks for dessert.  Yummy!!!

    Photos are a mix.  The photo of me with 2 artist friends are from the past.  The top photo is me & my best friend John.  He past away a few years ago.  Miss him every day.  He is buried near Willie.  The lower photo is me & Jerry, an artist from Nigeria.  I think he is coming back here this autumn.  I hope so.  Both of them are & were fantastic artists.  Miss them both.
