This past week was good and busy. We both had a full, very comprehensive physical and both received a clean bill of health. I had my dental hygiene appointment last Thursday and it went very well. I was a tad apprehensive about going but once I got there, I felt very safe. The dental clinic that we go to is now equipped with the best HEPA air filtration systems in each consultation room, in addition to the PPE for the staff and hand sanitizing everywhere. For the actual cleaning, the hygienists have reverted to the good old picks and scalers instead of using the ultrasonic tools. A little longer on the chair but that's OK with me. My cleanings never take long anyway....you see, I'm a three times a day flosser, a bit extreme some would say, but that's just me. A clean freak maybe, LOL! Russell has his dental appointment tomorrow.
Our Cooper also got some blood work done on Friday. He's lost a kilo since March, without trying, but his weight has been stable since July so we're not too worried as he's his old self on all fronts. But better be safe than sorry so our vet recommended a full blood panel. Our little Spicy will get her wellness exam on Thursday as she is due for her rabies shot. It's all good. Life goes on for all of us despite the pandemic.
On Friday, we received the plans for our awning. Next step is to get the Town permit. We will make an appointment tomorrow. We're told it takes about two weeks to get the permit. If we're lucky, we may get the awning installed before the Winter. It would be nice to have it all ready for next year. In anticipation of the awning, we moved the VegTrug to its new location, just down the steps from the deck, against the brick wall. It will get lots of sun.
We're already in the middle of August and sure enough, as predicted, the Fall Mums are out everywhere. I haven't bought any yet but will do so in September. I'm also anxiously waiting for my favorite squash to be out...the Delicata Squash. I'm told very soon..... I cannot wait.
As we're slowly heading towards another season, we're also starting to think that maybe, just maybe, we will travel in 2022. We will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in August of that year so we're hoping for another trip to Italy. Without hope we have nothing so we're hoping.
That's my blog for this week. Continue to enjoy the Summer, it will be one for the books for sure! Have a great week, stay well and safe!
