Friday did not start off a good day. I awoke sweaty around my neck and hair was soaked. I will be glad when the weather decides what it is going to be.
My first thing was to go to the doctor while I am well! The receptionists and nurses were all compliments about how well I looked, like I felt better. One said she felt so sorry for me when I came in back when I either had flu or pneumonia, not sure which time. Since I told them I had not complaints, they were puzzled.
I talked to doctor and now I will not get uti again. Well, that is the hope and plan.
The doctor would not consider changing my diabetes meds, but I can go to original doctor who now works in Decatur. Okay, I can do that. Still hopeful, here. I do not need stronger meds, just different one that do not cause a reaction.
Employees at Walmart commented on how good I looked. Okay, and men smiled and spoke. hmmm...I did not even have on makeup today. Now, I love the compliments, but I wonder how bad I looked before. So, it made me happy to look well, not at all about men talking and smiling. I just am so happy to feel better than I have since last August.
One female employee heard another tell me how well and nice I looked today. Another told me it was the color of the sweater I had on. It is a purply-pink. Plum? Well, it is in the pink and red family that really are my favorites and do compliment my coloring. I am a winter, .
Pharmacist explained things about the pneumonia vaccine. I was fine at first. Then, I had huge raised, red place that hurt and itched. I did not scratch or take aspirin. He said the worse the reaction a person had, the more protection the person was getting. Do I have that right all you medical types. He assured me I would have less virulent sinus infections. Since the sinus problems are almost non-existent now, I am hoping for a miracle cure...lol.
I had terrible chills for about three days that swept in waves down my face and onto neck and chest. He told me about those, too. Fever is what I think he said. Hopefully, that explains all the sweaty nights. I just thought I could not regulate my temp anymore...lol...I think of strange things.
Maybe all these things mean nothing to anyone else and do not seem enough to make the day a good one. Well, I have been too ill for too long and hope is a powerful reason to be happy. Plus, I felt well and light on my feet. Oh, and I lost 2 lbs at doctor's office After eating and drinking a full bottle of water. And, the sun was shining gloriously.
The fruit flies are back in force. That has caused great unhappiness for the last few weeks. I am just not fast enough to swing the electric flyswatter at them. Plus, they hide on the window sill behind things and I am not prepared to clear the kitchen by swinging the flyswatter at them. So, I purchased a $25 cordless Black and Decker vacuum.
The fruit flies got in all food I tried to prepare. They got into the refrigerator and freezer. I was tired of the little monsters last year and beside myself this year. So, this hope made me very happy.
Just as the daffodils faded, the tulips bloomed. I was hoping the would bloom at approximately the same time for a spectacular display. I am so pleased they bloomed without my having to dig them up.
Groceries today: eggs. 5 lbs carrots, leaf lettuce, Cadbury Chocolate Crème Eggs (5-pack). I never can find the chocolate filled eggs, so now I have and that is my Easter candy this year. And, exbf will get one of the chocolate eggs, too.
Eating out: one soft taco supreme from Taco Bell. And I got the senior discount.
Looking back over this, it seems like a bunch of silliness and nothing to make me very happy. But, it did.
Have you ever had a day full of good health and good news about your health that you felt the day was a good day? What thing or things made you happy on Friday?

Compliment, Frozen Yogurt, Candy, Vaccine
Thursday, the sun finally came out on Thursday and the rain stopped! And, it dried up just in time. People hadstarted building arks, and a friend said she saw people and animals going by two by two. The afternoon was as brilliant as the morning was gloomy. But, then it became cold! That's okay just as long as the sun shines.
When I was shopping at WM on Thursday, a woman greeted me in such a friendly manner that I knew we had to be acquainted. Plus, she looked familiar. When I met up with her a few minutes later, we had gone in a circle and met again, she greeted me familiarly. So, I asked her name and made no connection and asked her where I knew her. It turned out she was a teacher. Immediately, she started telling me what a good substitute I was when I did that, saying she was impressed with me and my ability, that I was an exceptional sub.
She was very effusive. I pressed her for what, exactly, impressed her. If I was that good, I surely wanted to know what I was doing so right. Wouldn't you? So, she did!
That made my day. I felt well that day. I was happy to start the day. But, I felt lighter after talking to her. I think I smiled more at others. I never knew she was a "fan."
Every day, I am going to pay genuine compliments to those who impress me, telling them exactly what they are doing to make such a positive impression. We all deserve to know what we did or are doing right.
One day, about two months ago, I told a young woman studying to be a nurse what a good job she was doing and how she was an exceptional nurse in the making. The next time I saw her, I gave her explicit compliments, using examples of her exceptional character traits, work ethic, and bedside manner. She was thrilled. I was not trying to gain anything, just impressed and thought she should know how impressive she was.
FYI, I substituted at the end of my career, almost every day. Through the years, I had fallen back on substituting as a way to earn money between jobs and on periods when I was searching for a job after graduation. The pay was good for the job and better than retail. And, it was in my field.
moving on
At Publix I got my a2milk and went by the reduced freezer section. Oh my goodness. There was reduced frozen yogurt. It was Kemps' Frozen Yogurt Shop fudge Brownie and Cookie Dough at $1 each for 1.78 pints. That is 7.12 pints overall, almost a gallon, that I bought for $4.
I actually bought four containers even as I wondered where in the freezers I could put them. On the way home, I started eating one of the containers. There are spoons in the deli. There was no room in the freezer. What to do? I took out chicken breasts to cook and a package of ground beef for meat balls and put them in the refrigerator. Soooo, now I must cook!
Three containers fit in the freezer after I took the meat out. I ate part of the fourth container I started in the car and dumped the rest into a freezer bag. This way, it could be shoved into a corner of the freezer. Sure, it will be a funny shape, but I can eat ice cream in a funny shape. Can you?
A display of Russell Stover eggs caught my attention. Of course, they would! My electric cart went straight to the chocolate display. I bought one of the Raspberry Whip Eggs. Now, I do remember these, but my loyalties have moved to the Coconut Cream Eggs that I still don't remember eating.
Thursday, I received my last pneumonia vaccine that I will ever need. This is a newly formulated vaccine. Now, each person is recommended to have one each of two different vaccines a year apart. Vaccines are recommended not only for elderly, but people who have asthma or are smokers. I am not a smoker, but I have trouble breathing around any degree of smoking or anything with particulates in the air.
Since I have taken pneumonia shots/vaccines, my sinus problems have been fewer and farther between. The sinus infections are less virulent. There is less down time. Before, a sinus infection raced from head to ears to throat to chest, leaving me very ill. When ir spreads to other parts, the infection is milder and does not leave me totally incapacitated.
As the nurse was telling me the benefits of the vaccine years ago, she mentioned all these benefits. I could hardly believe it, but it is true.
The sun is shining today, Friday, so I am going out to plant bulbs.
Your turn
Are the Russell Stover Raspberry Cream Whip Eggs on your radar? Has anyone checked out the freezer reduced section at Publix? Do you get the pneumonia vaccine? If you do, have you noticed a lessening of your sinus problems and less virulent symptoms when you do have a problem?
