Flanigans was packed last night with a 30 minute wait. When we got seated, we had an excellent waitress and the food was good as usual. You rarely get a bad meal at this place.
Wade watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Buffalo Bills and was heartbroken at the loss for his team. I think it’s funny that he talks at the television all during the game.
This morning we headed to Whole Foods to see about a standing rib roast for Christmas. I’ve already gotten confirmation with Joel, Keith, Tom, and Kurt. Barbara is a definite maybe. Wade and I decided the rib roast would be appropriate for Christmas and with the drippings, Wade will attempt a Yorkshire Pudding. Looks like we are going to do merry olde England for Christmas.
I have to wait until December 4th to order and you do it online. You can choose the date of pickup and also the number of ribs. We talked to the head butcher who was very helpful. He said for 7 people 4 ribs would be plenty. You get 2 servings per rib.
My endocrinologist, Dr. Jellinger, was very pleased with my blood work. He thinks my increase in energy is due to a higher ejection fraction for my heart, the iron infusions, and the Jardiance he prescribed. I’ll see him in 4 months. He’s asked me to participate in a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) service that will tie in to a national data base. He thinks remote monitoring is the future of medicine. I’m already enrolled in a similar plan with the VA.
Tomorrow is a wellness check with Dr. Dunhill. Jellinger wants Dunhill to recommend a urologist because my PSA was elevated. It’s still within the normal range but the increase is concerning. I see Dunhill after I drop Wade off at the airport.
I decided to give Wade his Christmas gift early and I purchased a ticket to the Nutcracker by the San Francisco Ballet. He sees it every year and I thought I could save him the ticket cost. I suspect the San Francisco Ballet puts on one of the best.
I’m not sure what we’ll do for the rest of the day but I may do some more yard work. It was 54°F this morning and the weather is beautiful, sunny, and cool. No better time to do yard work.
Stay tuned!
