Friday morning the construction company came by to look at the leak over our front door. Turns out it’s the window above the door which we are responsible for maintaining so that sucks. The company did put some sealant around it so I’m hoping that keeps water out for now. <\/p>\n
I had an appointment with my OB\/GYN for my annual exam so Joe took care of the construction company. What’s nice about the new insurance is there’s no co-pay for the visit, or the resulting mammogram I have to schedule. Everything is covered 100%. He also gave me a prescription for Elmiron which I probably won’t fill since I expect it to be expensive. Although I’m not sure yet since they supposedly called it into the local Walgreens and I’ve yet to hear anything. (I ended up having to call them to find out what was going on). <\/p>\n
After my appointment I spent some time at the library browsing the movies, CDs, and books. I love just looking around. I borrowed a book about Disneyland since we’re planning a trip to Phoenix later this year and were contemplating driving the five and a half hours to Anaheim to visit the park. After reading half the book we decided against it due to time\/cost. We’d rather visit when we have more than a couple of days to explore so that won’t be happening after all. I joked that Joe lost his bargaining chip to get me on a plane (I am so dreading it).<\/p>\n
When I got home Joe was out doing a taste test survey so I made a chicken salad sandwich and watched some TV. Later that evening we were both craving burgers so we went to Culvers for dinner.<\/p>\n
Saturday we didn’t leave the house. We just surfed online and watched some of the movies I had borrowed for the library. It’s too bad not every town’s library has the selection ours does. For instance, the library where my brother lives is horrible. They have nothing and it’s a real bummer because it saves you so much money on entertainment (not to mention you’re paying for it anyway via taxes).<\/p>\n
Sunday we decided to check out the flea market in Rosemont. Joe purposely drove past the airport so I could watch the planes. I get just as anxious watching them takeoff and quickly bank as when I’m actually in a plane and the same thing happens. Anyway, it’s only $2 a person to get into the flea market so it’s not bad, although the clouds had cleared and it was sunny and humid by the time we arrived. We did see a lot of stuff, but only purchased two things – a gravestone decoration for Halloween ($0.50) and a bag of hot fries ($0.25). Once we couldn’t take the heat anymore we went across the street to Target to kill some time because Joe had the idea of having lunch at Hamburger Heaven in Elmhurst. I went to their website to check what time they opened and wouldn’t you know it, they are closed on Sundays. So we decided to stop at Mariano’s for a mini gelato (I had fudge banana which I enjoyed and Joe had cappuccino) and then went to Luong Loi for lunch. I had the always delicious Kung Pao chicken and Joe got the chicken and broccoli lunch special.<\/p>\n
Monday we took our rollerblades to Armstrong Park. We only bladed a little bit because we are both rusty. I hate blading down hills because it feels so fast and I worry I’m going to wipe out. We have wrist guards but we should have brought our bike helmets too. Next time. After we got tired we walked a loop around the park before heading home. It is just so humid lately and I can’t stand it. Even when the temperature is nice the humidity makes it feel ten degrees warmer.<\/p>\n
I took a shower when we got home and then we did some grocery shopping at Meijer and Aldi. Since then I’ve just been straightening up, updating our finances, doing some laundry, and cleaning up my computer desktop. I like starting the work week with things organized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
