The weather continues to be amazing.....Mr. Seventies completed staining the small deck & back steps. After replacing a few boards on the pool deck.....he plans to give it a refresh as well. He intends to replace the steps to the back yard.....likely in the fall....
When daughter & family are joining us for supper after little one's tap dance recital over the weekend....son-in-law will assist Mr. Seventies setting out the wicker deck furniture & large umbrella. Apparently, I purchased a new one at the end of last summer...
And.....I think my iron levels have bottomed out again. Through our "virtual" medicine website, we are forced to use in place of a family doctor.....I secured a requisition for blood work & completed that mid week. I have access to the results...but depend on Dr. Google to decipher some of it. Supposedly, the physician who ordered the bloodwork is monitoring the results....we will see. If I require iron infusions....that will be a whole other hurdle to jump...
BTW - healthcare in Canada is not "free"......we pay dearly for it through high taxes. If I had the choice to pay for medical care.....or deal with no family doctor or clinics to visit....I gladly would. Some services, such as MRI & CAT scans.....can be obtained by paying out of pocket...
So there is that I'm dealing with.....if you've ever dealt with low iron or anemic.....the symptoms are brutal. It's been 2 1/2 years since I had six iron infusions....(back when we had a family physician).....
My knee continues to heal....it does still pain & I'm having to continue with ice packs....
The pool water is clear....Mr. Seventies continues to vacuum & back wash it daily....our neighbour was in his pool yesterday! The water was only 22 C degrees (approx. 72 F)....no where near warm enough for me!! I'm thinking we will need to replace the pool liner next year.....which is scary..... pool companies here (only two of them) are booked months & months in advance......and I've been hearing horror stories from people who've had terrible service & installs......
I spent one evening cleaning & dusting my dish cabinet....things do get dusty inside....this piece I picked up at Home Sense prompted it...
Some sweet person sent this piece to us anonymously...... no return address or tag included...but very thoughtful & appreciated. Liesel's loss affects us daily.....she is missed beyond words....
Daughter doesn't want her Dad or her husband to be responsible for a meal celebration on Father's Day....we'll be sharing a home cooked meal (prepared by me) on their day.....and of course...presents! I've ordered a dozen of these yummy cupcakes as well...they are both football fans....
That's about everything that's happening here.....I hope your week has gone well! Have an awesome weekend!!
Til next time....
