Day of Rest
After two days of long trips to doctors for checkups today will be a lazy day of rest. Believe me, I am a master of that kind of day! It's 10 AM and we are just having our first cup of coffee :)
Tuesday we headed for Long Beach for Jim's eye check up. His macular degeneration condition is holding pretty steady. So that was good news. We stopped on the way home at The Olive Garden to enjoy one of my birthday gift cards. Jim had a never-ending soup and salad while I opted for "lunner" and had Seafood Primavera with mussels, shrimp, scallops and clams. It was pretty darn tasty and then I didn't have to worry about cooking dinner.
Wednesday I had checkups with two of my doctors, oncology and radiology. Both were good results and I don't have to see anyone for three months. We had another quick lunch at The Crab Cooker in Newport Beach. Oysters on the half shell and then grilled shrimp and scallops. Again...no need to cook dinner. I love it!
The weather has been just lovely spring temps of low 70"s with a slight breeze but I'm reading that we are in for another rain storm this weekend. California really needed all this rain so we are not complaining, just hoping that our leak does not reappear.
We've decided to stay another month here at Golden Village in Hemet. We can still catch the end of baseball spring training in Tempe, AZ, if we leave here the third week of March. That gives Jim time to recoup his energy and strength and gives me time to psyche myself up for travel again. I love it once we are on the road but thinking about it makes my stomach jump. I guess I'm not over all the stress yet.
Today I'll have to face the music and fix some dinner. I'll bet that Jim will want veggie soup because the temps are a little cooler and there is rain in the forecast. That's ok with me. Soup is simple, add a loaf of artisan bread, a glass of wine and turn on the Olympics. Sounds like a good evening to me.
