Thursday:
Kathy is still not 100%. She is still experiencing the negative effects of the infected tooth and having it extracted. I ran some errands. I checked online and it looked like the most practical course for me to get in some exercise was to join a local Planet Fitness. There is one 5 miles, 14 minutes, from the campground. I have memberships at the YMCA in Jefferson City and nationwide at Anytime Fitness. There is no local YMCA and the closest Anytime Fitness is 34 miles, 36 minutes, away. I am amazed that my Medicare Advantage plan is apparently willing to cover the cost of multiple "gym" memberships. Planet Fitness signed me up at no cost. I'm certain the insurance company doesn't do it out of the goodness in their hearts. They have to think that they recoup the membership costs by not paying as much out in claims for those who exercise regularly.
Next I stopped at Walgreens to try and straighten out some prescriptions. Kathy always seems to have problems when she asks her Doctor to renew one. It almost always requires multiple calls from Kathy to get the Doctor to finally get the script to the drug store. No different this time. They are still waiting on the Doctor. I asked Walgreens to refill one of my very expensive prescriptions over a week ago and they can't seem to get the drug shipped to the store.
As I walked out of Walgreens I realized I was just across the parking lot from T-Mobile. When I got my new "free" phone (thanks Doug & Anthony) recently I opted to not buy a screen protector. I did get an accidental damage plan on the phone. If you buy the first screen protector the accidental damage plan will pay for any future ones I need. I walked across the lot and the young lady installed a screen protector. How she works with her very long fingernails is a mystery.
The campground does have a basic fitness center. There are a couple of strength machines, a bike, and a treadmill. It was really windy all day. Late in the afternoon I gave up on a bike ride and did 40 minutes on the treadmill.
Friday:
This morning I spent a little over an hour at Planet Fitness. WOW do they have a lot of equipment. I thought the YMCA in Jeff was well equipped. This Planet Fitness seem to have twice as many of everything the YMCA has.
Kathy finally felt go enough to go out for lunch. We went down the street to a Cheddar's we like. It's close and I really like their fish. They were out of fish. I ordered a sirloin steak and it was good. When we got back we relevelled the coach, again. The ground has finally dried out but the concrete blocks I had put under the jacks were tipped at crazy angles, because of the holes the jacks had punched through the sod when we first came. Before I went to PF I stopped by the office and asked if the Maintenance folks would drop off another 5 gallon bucket of clayey sand. It took awhile but I think I got the holes filled enough to keep the concrete blocks relatively level. I may still need to relevel in a few days, once everything is packed down, but I think its pretty well done.
Today's high was a mostly sunny, humid 84 degrees. It was hot getting the levelling done. After that I went back inside and was going to read, but couldn't resist a nice nap in the AC.
God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
