Day Two Hundred and Eighty Eight.

    Even though it was my day off yesterday I still had to get up early because my pre-op testing appointment was at 8am. I got there in plenty of time and it ended up taking about 2 hours. I parked in meter parking and I just made it back to the car before it ran out:) Afterwards I decided to treat myself to some Dunkin Donut's. I really indulged and tried the new Oreo crème donut and it was amazing! The plan was to make a big Target run but I ended up having to stop at home to use the bathroom first. I went to Target afterwards and spent $200! Luckily, I had finally received the pre-paid Visa card I got for switching cable companies, so I used that. The bill was so huge because I had to get soap, toilet paper and paper towels....among other things but those are the really high cost items. I also got my friend a $50 gift card because she just had her second baby.
    When I got home it was about 1pm and I still hadn't decided about whether I was going to be going to my second to oldest sisters house or not. I texted my boyfriend to see when he would be able to get out of work and he said not until 4pm. At that point I figured it would be so late when we got there that we should just stay. I ended up taking a shower at that point and folding the laundry from the day before, then I balance my checkbook! I was excited to finally balance my checkbook because I feel I have been neglecting it lately. I also made a grooming appointment for my dog for next week because her hair is a little wild. The other thing I did yesterday was give my doctor a call. She is supposed to be calling me back next week at some point before the surgery. I really trust her and value her opinion so I figured it would be a good idea to make sure she thought having the surgery was a good idea.
     Right before my boyfriend got here I was excited when my oldest sister called and said she would stop by to have dinner with us on her way to my second to oldest sisters house. Her and her husband arrived around 7pm so we went to one of our favorite local eateries. It was really nice catching up with them both because I didn't get to talk to them a lot last weekend:) They ended up just leaving us there and walked to our favorite local drink spot, then headed home a little later. We got pretty wet while walking because it kept off and on raining. I used the public restroom several times last night but it didn't bother me that much. All and all it was a nice day off! Well that's it until later.
