Three medical appointments this week: cardiologist, dentist, and GP. I passed with flying colors. On Friday, I and the gang went to a Greek restaurant and then to Barnes and Noble. I had a Greek salad with Tri Tip.

Tarot card of the dsy; the Chariot. Keywords:control, willpower. Success, action, determination

I saw my sister in Tracy and went to put flowers on my husband’s grave. We had a nice day. My sister did not cry and we went for Vietnamese food. The rest of the week was uneventful. I saw the Podiatrist for my new shoes. When I run out of Movies, I am going to watch all seven seasons of the original Fantasy Island series. That should take a while.
