Volume 17 - Day 20/345, 2025 - Monday

It was 21 degrees outside when I got up this morning, and by the time we finished out 'abbreviated' morning walk, it was down to 19 degrees. I putzed around the house for a while before I headed in to Austin, and there was not a lot to do. There is a LOT to do, but it was cold and I was in the little white car, so not a lot of room for schlepping stuff to the storage room. There is always Wednesday and Friday, so I am not stressing about it yet. Here is something interesting...I had a 3:30 appointment for a 'MRA Head and Ultra Sound Extra Cranial Arteries.' I thought it was weird that, with a 3:30 appointment, they wanted me to arrive at 2:15. Okay, I can do that. The appointment was at 300-B University Boulevard in Round Rock. I was driving around in the parking lot for about 15 minutes, looking for 300-B. I found 300-A, but no B. I stopped the security patrol guy driving around the parking lot, but he didn't know where it was, either. I went inside 300-A, and they pointed it out to me. They said it says 300-B on the building, and admittedly it does, but you can only see it in you walk 30 feet under the entrance canopy and it is above the door. Whatever. Then, there was the check-in. They insisted I had two appointments, and I insited I had one appointment for two procedures. Nope, just believe it when I tell you, you can't argue with Baylor, Scott & White. The good news is, they did not shoot me up with dye, and I was out (after both appointments) by 4 o'clock. I fell asleep in both the MRA tube and while they were (once again) doing the ultrasound on my carotid arteries. So, that was my day, how was yours. We are expecting snow and sleep at the Curious House overnight, and that will be fun. My big concern right now is that it will cause the ROMEO breakfast to be cancelled. If we can walk when it is 20 degrees outside, we can certainly drive if there is an inch of snow. But Monument Cafe had better be open!
