So, I have calmed down a bit, but just a bit. Sissy is right that I take things out to the worst possible conclusion and then I bring it back in and solve it. Just the way I am wired, and I will work on this flaw the rest of my life. Perhaps it is not a flaw, because when Sh#$t hits the fan, I can remain calm and carry on and have proved this over and over.
My biggest stressor is Sissy gets too many irons in the fire and yes, she accomplishes a lot, but then crashes and burns and gets very, very sick! I have seen this over and over the past 40 years, and now that she has RA it is worse.
She was so sick all last summer and the fallout around it was staggering for me.
I do not want this for her as every illness can lower her immune system.
So yesterday I went up to Sissy's and we planned menus and then I took Auntie to get scripts refilled (which still has not happened and this took up most of my day and I am still mad about it.) How can two pharmacies not get it together? More phone calls to make this morning.
While we were waiting for scripts, I took Auntie to TJ Max, and she found several things that looked adorable on her and I did get my makeup at Alta so that was accomplished. It was now lunch time and Auntie must be fed, so I took her to lunch and checked on scripts.... nothing...Auntie now needs a nap so back to Sissy's I went after the Pharmacy here assured me that I could pick up the scripts when they were ready. Pulling into Sissy's I see the chicken cage is fully wrapped with a light shining through and I knew we had chicks; stress level went down a bit.
They are so cute. Auntie went to nap, and Sissy told me, she had called the Friend where the large over commitment happened (that Sissy forgot about...how unusual) and the wonderful Friend took the task on herself. Thank you, Lord! It is still going to be a very busy weekend, but this is one less thing to worry about.
I then made phone calls to the pharmacy in Minnesota, and they claimed they sent the fax/email and then I called the pharmacy here and they said they had not received it. Also was told their power had gone out and now the Pharmacy in Minnesota is closed. So that is on my agenda for this morning.
We also must take the Cats to the Vet for rabies boosters and then I have to do a bit of grocery shopping for tonight and I want to work on my yard. I know that Husb needs to go to Home Depot for things to help Sissy.
Sissy is cooking tonight! Yeah!
WE had a very good time at dinner last night and I am so glad we did it even though I complained about it. I love that feeling when you commit and then pull back in your mind, follow through and get that happy feeling.
I have so many lists for this weekend and next weekend, so at least I have a plan and I am going to take it one day at a time.
Now it is time to put the Cat carriers together and get rolling.
I thank everyone who commented yesterday, it does help! Anne I several glasses of wine!
Tune in tomorrow to see how the saga plays out!
Hugs,
Kay
I'm sure the neighbor really appreciated the dinner for her birthday. Kindness is a good feeling and you and your sister are good role models for the rest of us. Problems shared seem to be problems halved, or in your case, commitments shared, are commitments halved.
ReplyDeleteGlad everything worked out in the end. And I am sure the wine did not hurt!
ReplyDeleteMy pharmacy is stressing me as they try to get my "cream to rub on endometriosis." These people don't even know what they don't know. I hope you get yours straightened out.
ReplyDeleteIt's Ulta not Alta...just to add to your stress. ;-) I hear ya on the pharmacies and faxes thing. Been there, done that.
ReplyDeleteDamn your right? Did not even notice that!
