I woke up about 4:30 this morning, turned over and promptly went back to sleep for another hour. Hopefully, I got enough sleep that I won't be so tired tonight. Dean turned the coffee pot on and in no time we were enjoying our first cup. While Dean was in the bathroom, I quickly sent him a text message to wish him a "HAPPY 66th BIRTHDAY" so it would be waiting for him when he returned. We decided last year we would not buy each other cards anymore - no where to store them and I hate to throw them away after paying so much for them - so I snapped a picture of one the other day while at the store and shared it with him in that text this morning.
With Dean back home, we walked 2.5 miles at an average of 17:04 min/mi. It was a little breezy but once the sun came up it warmed up very nicely. This is the sunrise we enjoyed as we were leaving the RV Park to head to Riverside Park where we walk.
As we finished our walk and was getting back in the car, Dean's phone buzzed, indicating a message. I checked it for him and it said "9:30". I asked him if he was going to play golf this morning and he said he thought he would. That works out well for me since I have several things I want to get done before noon today.
Once we returned we had our breakfast, and Dean left a short time later. Since today is Dean's birthday and we have things to do this afternoon, I am moving washing day until tomorrow. I changed the sheets and towels out, made the bed and gathered up some other clothes to go in the hamper and did the dishes from this morning. After my shower I had several things to do: called my doctor about getting a copy of the billing for my well-woman exam so I could submit it to Aflac for my annual refund; called Garnett, KS City Hall to ensure their RV Park would be open this weekend, as we plan to visit there for a few days to see Dean's family and some friends we have in the area; and called to schedule a bone density test for me later this week while we are in Joplin. I had a couple of letters that needed to go in the mail today and I needed to make a deposit at the bank, so I drove uptown to take care of them.
When I returned I decided to get busy on those files again, and managed to get almost 1/2 of the way through them, so I expect to finish them Wed or Thurs.
Dean returned from his golf game around 12:30 or 1:00. We had a bite to eat and then we drove to Parsons where we filled out the necessary forms to have our medical records from our former primary care physician transferred to our new doctor in Webb City, Mo.
From Parsons, we drove to Pittsburg to pick up our mail only to find out we had none; even though it's been over a week now. I mentioned this to Lynn, the UPS Store operator, and she told me it can sometimes take up to 14 days before mail starts getting forwarded. Ugh! I'll have to check at Oswego tomorrow and see if I can just pick it up there until the end of December when we leave for Texas.
Our next stop was at Home Depot but we were unable to find what we needed. Since it is Dean's birthday we decided to splurge a little and have dinner at Jim's Steak House - a Pittsburg icon. We haven't had dinner here in a number of years but we always enjoy it when we do, and tonight was no different. I had Jim's Super Salad and Dean had the sirloin tips.
On the drive home I snapped this picture - what beautiful lights they have decorated this home with!
