Fasting Test; Bad Night for Lizzie

The truck is back, which puts me on a more even keel. I dropped off a Commonwealth Catalog book at the Falmouth main library and got some Fall decorations for the window boxes at Dollar Tree.

Yesterday, Ron picked up the vacuum in Hyannis before driving me to Midas. He was nice enough to set up the new water pitcher filter as well.

Afraid of losing my temper because of coffee deprivation, I’ve put off getting a fasting blood test for over a month, but was the first in line at the Sandwich CLab this morning at 7 am. Four other people swept in as I was leaving. Made coffee and treated myself to a bagel and neufchatel when I got home.

Lizzie leaked on her blanket and the second bedroom carpet last night around 2 am. Ron had been up late to let her out, but it didn’t help much. I was furious.

The bathroom stunk to high heaven, and I’m not sure why. I took down the shower curtain, washed the floor and toilet bowl and put the laundry basket and trash on the deck before feeding Lizzie. Fortunately, she slept in.

I am burnt out with news. Have given up on PBS Newshour and skipped DW and even Laura Trevelyan last night. Listened to Rossano yesterday afternoon while puttering around; his music helped, a lot.

I cleaned the carpet in the second bedroom as well as the runner. Fortunately, the new brush for the Little Green arrived, and it’s terrific. We did laundry. Bathroom is pleasant! I stupidly thought the tub was clogged; turned out, the stopper was down. Wasted a bottle of Drano, but it did a great job cleaning the tub…

Paid Geico car insurance in advance so we can get the documentation in time to cancel the old insurance automatic debit. Ordered drain cleaner at Target and Home Depot; trip to Hyannis tomorrow, maybe.
