My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

A nice day…clear sky, fairly warm, not much wind. Nice.

As part of my annual physical, I need a test at the hospital on Friday. They now require a negative covid test for the scheduled test. I got my covid test at Walgreens drive thru. Results were back about an hour later…Negative. And it didn’t cost me. So, the hospital test is a go.

I signed up for the Med+ test in Denver on the 22nd. I rented a car at the airport so I can get to the motel the night before, then testing site and back to the airport. My appointment is at 10a so it should work out well. Just hope the GPS on my phone works. I have never driven to the motel, and it’s been forever since I was in Arvada. This test ain’t cheap…haha.

I need to get my tax stuff to the accountant before I leave. I’m working on it.
