A Good Wednesday

Allen was a little late coming by this afternoon being tied
up--NO, not that way!!!--with his bowling group which gave me a chance to catch
up with a few calls--plus I really didn't have that many errands to run today so
when he came over we went to the bank and then the dollar store--he buys more
there then I do and yet we go because I need something!!!

Afterwards we decided to go down to the beach to Beach Place and
have lunch at Sloppy Joe's--a branch of the Key West restaurant known for being
Ernest Hemingway's hangout--it's not really that good, sort of a tourist place
because it is on the third floor and over looks the beach--plus we had a
coupon--buy 1 get 1 free--we each had a burger with fries, I had coffee and he
had a diet coke--with tip (and coupon!!) came to $19  LOL

"With Key West being so remote, the Conch Republic's most famous bar - Sloppy Joe's - has
colonized along famed Fort Lauderdale Beach so patrons can dance, spill a little beer, chow down, and pay homage to
Hemingway without going out of their way."



















Address:
17 South Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard
Fort
Lauderdale, FL 33304
















In any case the beach though quiet looked beautiful and with the
cool breeze we almost felt like tourists. Unfortunately I forgot to take me
camera. :O(

After driving back and Allen getting gas, for his car, we went
to Publix--oh, I forgot to mention our water was cut off all morning  so between
morning rituals, giving the birds fresh water, having my tea, etc., I had to get
a few more bottles of water--so I could get my winning lotto tickets--twice this
week I lost Play4 by one number--he then drove me home.

It was a good--not great--day and for some reason Allen seems to
be able to calm me down just with his presence which is good.

Tomorrow is a hectic day--I leave at 12:20 PM--have an
appointment with NET (noise, ear and throat) doctor at 1:15 PM, then
psychologist at 2 PM and primary at 3 PM--if NET is late there will be a
problem!!! :O)



Learned of another kind of doctor--a gerontologist--who
specializes in senior problems--will talk to my primary about his recommending
one as from what I understand they are very effective in many different
ways.

In any case will do a medical update this weekend with seeing
ophthalmologist, vascular surgeon,  NET doc, psychologist, primary, first
exercise class, getting fat again, etc. LOL

NET I suppose is nose (without i) ear and throat? Funny here wwe use KNO also a 3 in one ( keel, neus, oor meaning throat nose ear))
Stay calm and try feel relaxed a bit Martin. Like I said yesterday you sound more optimistic again.

I think looking into a gerontologist is a good idea. He or she could definitely help coordinate everything with you so you wouldn't have to worry as much.
Allen seems like such a God-send.
