The hospital/medical center has classes, but I didn't think too much of the one I went to. Well, I went to two, but one was strictly in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish anymore (six years didn't stick with me). Most of it was you have to eat a certain amount of carbs and that was more than I ate before. Now I just end up craving them. Today I got some oranges and will see if they will help me. Also got bananas so maybe I can make it a fruit salad of bananas and oranges. I used to eat oranges when I was younger and that got me at such a nice weight. Maybe they will have enough fiber to help me.

I had never seen Walmart that low on supplies here except for TP when everyone was hoarding. Today I went to Kings to get honey for church coffee service and some anti-diarrhea that is their brand. They were pretty well stocked except for the club crackers that I wanted. I ended up with the little snack size ones. Well, maybe that would be better for Annie and me. Otherwise I go through the entire sleeve of them.
Today we had snow all day and light wind. The high was suppose to get to 19, but I think it only got to 10 and the wind was enough to make it feel a lot lower. Sure didn't want to walk as far as I had to to get into Kings. Then they are one of the stupid stores that has all their carts outside. The one near me has made it so theirs are outside, too. The closest they are still inside, but they are having to lock restrooms because the homeless go in there and trash everything. Of course, they don't have the lactose-free stuff, so I have to go to another store for that. And since I have been seeing recipes with mozarella I couldn't resist getting a block of it and then had to get lactase enzymes. Just have to figure out how many of those I have to take.
I've been going to Bible study on Wednesday mornings, but the gas prices are probably going to halt that. The lady who is head of women's ministry said they would try to figure a way to help me so I can get there. For church service, I can watch online if I don't have the gas to go. There aren't any people near me that go to that church and the churches around me I don't really feel welcome in.

I got my garage door opener and the old one has been taken down so things are ready for when Johnny can get it installed. A ittle different than what I wanted, but the other one has to be ordered for shipment from some other state. Who knows how long that would take nowadays. I'm looking at a couple other things that I might be able to get done, like the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Maybe I wouldn't freeze in there all the time if that would be replaced. Right now I have a hole in the ceiling. I still have to get a toilet and sink for downstairs, though.

Hope you are all doing okay.

I'm glad you were able to find another crew and are getting your construction done. With Johnny's other job he has been having some trouble getting much done right now. He has 3 days off next week, though, so will be working here those days. Of course, one day I have Bible study. His other job work days are 10 hours, so I can understand him getting tired.
I've been trying to figure out how much tile I need for that bathroom. It looks like that will be over $100, They don't seem to have the kind of tile they used to have. So I wass looking at interlocking. The kind you have to use adhesive cost just as much, so I think interlocking will be easier for me.

I am thinking of getting a wood-look tile that even feels a lot like wood. I still have a lot to do on the walls, though. Handyman has said he will only do the 1st layer of mud for what he quoted and wants $200 more to get it to "paint ready." He wants $100 more to install the sink and toilet and $350 more to do the shower, which was just supposed to be putting in the new shower pan. Alltogether he has proposed $1550 more to finish the bathroom and bedroom, but $600 is for tiling which I said I would do and $100 (I think) for painting, which I also said I would do. I would have nothing left to get the other supplies needed to get the things done anyway.

Friday I had a great lunch that a friend took me too. Only problem was I ate too much. Then went to a Worship and Prayer night at our church. Oh, also saw a place by the Applebees we were at that has several different businesses in it and found a couple nice things. Got some magnetic bookmarks and a hanging thing with a saying on it for my friend's husband's birthday that is the end of this month. She took me to lunch on Saturday.

Got a message from the handyman that he had to work all last week and will be back here on Tuesday (when he is supposed to have the day off). Hope that is right.

Sandra, I hope you are doing better now.

Sandra, I am sorry to hear that. Don't they have anything to help with the edema? I am glad that your diabetes problem seems to have steadied now. That shingles shot might be a problem with it, though, if it is stressing you. I hope that it stays steadier.

I will probably be in trouble if I can ever get an appointment with my doctor. I tried and she was booked for a month and a half in, so I am on a wait list. I am trying to be better with things, but for today I did get some ice cream. I got an eye appointment, then remembered since I changed insurance companies and need a referrence to see the Retina specialist. So I messaged my doctor for one, but I haven't heard from her yet.
