Colorful

I know today is Mono Monday, but I couldn't resist putting up this brightly colored bouquet I saw at Safeway this afternoon.   

It was another day of frustrations.  I needed to do labs before my EPO shot tomorrow, so I spoke to Dr. Tekeste's medical assistant to ask that she add a renal panel to the orders. She said she was putting it through right then.   But when I went to the lab about an hour and a half later there was no order for any lab tests at all. So a wasted trip, involving parking at a steep incline far from the entrance.

I decided to head over to Safeway to spend some Fresh Bucks.  I parked somewhat far from the entrance because the was a cart right nearby.  But when I went to get it, the wheels were locked, as were the wheels of the other cart that was nearby.  When a woman walked by, I asked if she could bring over a cart for me.  Instead she came over to me, took my arm, and walked me back to my car.  A kind soul at a time when I was feeling rather helpless.

Sarah had her 20-week ultrasound today and sent me the photo.   It was exciting to see the actual baby, who looks healthy and strong and beautiful.
