My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
|
Another very
warm day. No moisture. Our retirement
group had a good lunch and good conversation. I had my stitches
removed. All good. Healing well. My lethargy has nothing to do with the extraction,
so giving it one more day…then to my Primary Care physician. Glad I’m renting…the
cost to fix my bathroom was $745. Work done very well. New tile in bathroom,
laundry room ceiling looks like new. Toilet has a new seal and shouldn’t
cause future problems. |
