Good to check. And other precautions.

So early Monday and my  doctor's message system gets back as soon as they open to say no, they never received the rx refill request my online pharmacy claimed to have sent.  This is three times now. But they'll get the request pronto to my doctor and she'll be on it.  

By early afternoon, refill request noted by doctor and sent. Let's hope this works.

Always good to follow the trail. I learned this when managing many people and projects. Make the request, get the confirmation, then follow up to see if it happened! And be very firm and clear if it didn't. Fireworks.

Every morning I go out before it's too hot, water the flower containers pick a flower or two, just foliage up to now from my seeds, and rearrange my little bouquet.

We had massive downpours Sunday, humidity in high 90s, I don't think watering is needed Monday.

Gary stopped by to ask about a begonia he's started in water, and is worried about when he goes away this week! He's making plant preparations well ahead, but will probably pack in the five minutes before departure.

Louder for the people at the back: my list of funny but true questions was from over forty years ago. As I said. Were you as familiar with these concepts then? 

Unless you were in Florida where they've been a thing since postwar days, I kinda doubt it. Even if you live where they're common now.  

Nowadays you don't get this kind of confused wondering here, either. Back then there seemed to be total confusion about the different ways of property ownership. 

Assisted living was new here then, communes had been a thing. Then there were time shares. Co-ops mainly in the city  (here that means Manhattan). And now condos. I think people assumed they were some kind of amalgam of everything!

Meanwhile back to now, I called and rescheduled my hearing aid fitting. It's now going to happen in late August when I hope the temperatures will be lower than this week. I don't feel safe driving out in this heat.

I texted a local friend who wasn't well the other day because of the heat. She's doing better. It struck me as a funny reversal. They tell you to check on elderly neighbors. Here's the EN checking on younger people.

And here's the new pillow with her handmade friends.

To do the stitching, I slid a cutting board behind the fabric, to avoid stitching front and back together. I used a heavy cotton pillow slip for the base. Then inserted the pillow form.

Happy day, everyone, stay safe, and always

I like this array of good ideas. Permission galore!
