Today’s Thoughts
Another
warm day.
I
had a nice talk with Ellie yesterday. She’s getting ready for Canada Tour in October.
She is also in the process of moving to a retirement community near her current
place. It sure sounds like a great place for her. I know she will enjoy it. Lots
to do and no worries about the maintenance of the place.
After
I got home yesterday the Dr. called and said I should also be on an antiviral
medication for my Bell’s Palsy. So just added 3 more tablets…big ones…to my
daily routine. I hope this helps as chewing and cleaning my mouth is becoming a
real pain. Otherwise I’m doing fine.
Enjoy
