Successes:
1. Refilled prescriptions. I am SO thankful for prescription coverage!
2. I had a sleep study last night. I am SO thankful for medical insurance! (But my share was still expensive.)
3. Last night as I was trying to fall asleep in a strange, uncomfortable bed in the city with electrodes stuck to my face, scalp, neck, chest, and leg (and starting to get hungry from skipping dinner), I was promising myself that I could pick up breakfast on the way home. However, when checkout time came before sunrise, all I wanted to do was get home and get some real sleep in my own bed.
4. My sister has a great-grandchild now, so she stopped by to pick up a family heirloom rocking horse that I've had possession of since our grands were toddlers. Since sis lives 500 miles away, I was glad that she was able to work it into a trip, and nobody (me) had to make a special trip or try to ship it. :)
5. A co-worker called Carey about an electrical problem at the house they use while working. Carey fixed it at zero expense by having the correct supplies on hand (and a lifetime of practical know-how). I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he is a frugal guy to have around.

I do like a practical man! My husband is just like that. Even though he has never been taught any building skills he can do plumbing, build a stone wall and turn his hand to lots of things. He assisted the builders on our stone built barn 40 years ago and learnt such a lot.
ReplyDeleteHope you got a few hours sleep once you got home.
Oops, I missed replying to this one! Give me a practical man ANY day! My only complaint is that mine cares only for the practical side and the aesthetics matter not a bit to him. That part makes me just a bit crazy sometimes.
