Yesterday, Barbra braved the Davie Blvd. 5 pm traffic to pick me up to go to Tap42 with Joel and Keith. Barb and I arrived first and luckily found a parking place and then Joel and Keith walked in. Mondays are Prohibition Burger days where the burger is 1/2 off. Even so, I hesitate to order an $8 burger much less a $16 burger.
Tap 42 is probably for a much younger crowd than us. The music can be very loud, particularly if you sit inside. We opted for the patio and the patio still makes conversation a little difficult. Insert your thoughts about fuddy duddy here.
I managed to eat half my burger and less than half of my sweet potato fries. I will admit the service was quite attentive and efficient. The problem is meat has lost its appeal to me. Every time I make a meat dish at home, I find the next time I make it, I go vegetarian and enjoy it better.
Tap42 has something akin to Astroturf installed on the patio and of course, I almost tripped on those artificial blades of grass. As a consequence, when Barb drove me home, she got out and walked me to the door. I guess I’m still unsteady of my feet.
I’m debating whether or not to go to physical therapy today. I feel drained of energy. I didn’t even walk this morning. I haven’t felt well in quite a while. Whether it is psychosomatic in association with the Herceptin problem or simply fatigue from the cumulative effects of the Herceptin treatments, or some underlying medical condition, I don’t know.
The sun is out at the moment and it’s still breezy but we have rain predicted for eight of the next nine days. Part of that is due to the tropical system off the coast of Florida. There is some strengthening predicted but very little chance to develop into a tropical storm. It’ll mostly be a rain event. Pretty soon the ground will be saturated and the probability of flooding will increase. And, we haven’t even got into the busy part of hurricane season (August and September).
I managed to find another dentist yesterday. It’s a little out of the way from my house but they take AARP Delta Dental PPO. It’s a practice with three dentists and I went with the one with more experience. She is a co-owner of the practice. I’m scheduled for the 19th of August. I need to have the old dentist email the x-rays over to the new dentist.
Stay tuned!
