I had my follow-up appointment with my cardiologist yesterday. We had a good conversation & for now, my next step is to see the heart rate specialist in January.
After my appointment, I shopped for festive paper plates & napkins for our family Christmas party. I also bought a strand of faux greenery to use for my Holiday decor. I used some of it to make a candle ring for the kitchen table. Then I stopped at Kroger for a few groceries & to get gas.
I was almost home....about 10 minutes when I came upon an accident that had just happened. A vehicle was blocking the road in the direction I was driving. Cars were coming thru in the other lane, but there was too much traffic to go around. A bunch of emergency vehicles started arriving & finally, they told us to make a U turn & leave. In spite of living here for 27 years, I couldn't think of an easy alternative route to get home. The route I ended up taking got me home about an hour later than I should have been. That may have included the time I waited before turning around. I'm not even sure at this point. I hadn't eaten since breakfast, other than a " That's it" fruit bar. This was about 6:30 PM & I left the house around noon.
We had planned to go to the Gym today, but I just wasn't feeling it. It was wet & rainy and we were running a little late. I even started getting ready by gathering towels for our gym bags. We decided to aim for tomorrow instead.
Instead, I worked on the Christmas decorations. I hauled the boxes out of the attic....that has to count for some exercise. I put the lighted garland on the mantel & added a few things to the decor I had created with pieces I'd bought this year. I hung ornaments on the smaller alpine tree and worked on decorating the big tree in the dining room. Still have a fair amount to do, but it's a start.
Decorating makes my lower back hurt, so I have to take breaks every so often. I was tired after all I did today, so dinner ended up being a frozen pizza. It is one of my favorites & I added sliced tomatoes & onions.
Off to bed now 😴
