A Day with Lola

Wednesday, Dec 15

Another day we had to wake using the alarm clock.  We had our doctor's appointment in Orange County.  We see her to have blood work done and our medications renewed.  I think she plans on changing some of mine.  I hope it means fewer pills and not more.  Bill is in great health. 

Since we had to fast before going to the doctor we stopped by a local restaurant to have breakfast, even though it was after 11:00 AM.  I don't think I did real well with my Weight Watchers points on this. 

When we finished with breakfast I dropped Bill off at the house and I drove across town to pick up xrays of my knee.  Normally, the office doesn't close for lunch.  Today, they closed for their holiday party!  That meant I drove back across town and had to come back a couple hours later. 

The company that installed the heater and air conditioner was scheduled to come out today to inspect it.  This turned out to be about 3 hours long.  They had to cool down the house, heat it up and then cool it down again.  To keep Lola from getting out I put her collar and leash on and took her out front.  Bill and I walked her around the block a few times.  She will certainly be tired tonight!  She is pretty good on the leash.  At 30 pounds of pure dog muscle she is too hard to hold.  If it doesn't rain over the New Year's weekend we are planning on taking her for a day. 

Since it was after 5:00 PM when we were ready to leave we decided to stop and have dinner.  I chose Olive Garden, my favorite place.  Unfortunetly they don't have good Weight Watchers choices.  I went over my points tonight.  I guess I need to remember to order things like fat free dressing and no pasta.  Bummer. 

We got home around 8:15 PM.  It was a long day and we have to drive back in on Friday for an appointment for me.  Next week though should be quiet. 

Have a good day.
