I was pretty exhausted yesterday.

Of course, it started with an 8:30 doctor's appointment, which I didn't have on my calendar. I had a message from them on Friday and I wasn't sure what the appointment was for and whether I should not eat. So I didn't eat breakfast and I was crabby and nervous. I had left my purse at home accidentally. She told me I had high blood pressure and prescribed a diuretic. I suggested tea instead. She said caffeine was bad for my blood pressure too. She said I could lose weight and exercise. I said I lost weight. She said no you didn't. She looked at my chart. I lost .2 lbs since July. So, that's good in my book. I said I walk every morning, but I couldn't this morning because I had to be here at 8:30. Anyway, I have to get blood work done this week and go back and see her next week. I felt like a crabby old person, too stupid to write down my appointments and get my blood work done.

I had to go home to get my purse and I felt a little better after I ate. Then I went to the small group ministry, which was good. Then I parked the car at my Dad's and found a piece of banana bread in his fridge. I took the bus to the Arch and sat there for a while. I ate some nuts...then I took the bus back to get the car, but I had to wait half an hour. By the time I got Ray, I was really hungry and stopped at Wendy's to get a grilled chicken sandwich and some sweet tea.

At home, I wasn't hungry at dinner time and had a 6:30 meeting at the Fellowship. Dan and I drove together. It was long and not totally productive, but I guess it's important. We are talking about Governance and changes in the Fellowship. It is not the kind of hands-on stuff we usually do in meetings, so hard to see progress.

Ray heated up some lentil soup for me and I had ice cream and watched TV.
