Survived!

The kind lady who did my stess test walked me through it gently. The funny part was the little disposable gown they gave me. Not quite waist length--to allow for all of the cords etc. It opened at the front, but did not quite close--and--of course-- no bra. I don't think I was the only large person to ever do this, as the technician had a pile of paper towels that she put across my chest and then taped to the gown using masking tape! I didn't make the first three minute interval, but she said that she had all of the information she needed so I didn't hesitate to quit when offered the chance.

For the very first time, I couldn't work up much enthusiasm for our Ravenesque meeting last night. I was tired, hot and sore. So I opted to wear a muu-muu instead of trousers and a T-shirt. This meant that I could wear sandals--something I haven't done in years. I checked my cupboard and found not one, but three pair of sandals--two of which had never been worn. I had totally forgotten them. Anyway, off I went. We were in her studio getting ready to paint when I realized that my muu-muu had a large hole in the back over my left hip. To say that I gave a new definiton of "elegant" would be an understatement. I don't think I'll be wearing any of my muu-muu's in public again.

Today, I get to volunteer at the art gallery in Selkirk. I can't remember if it's air conditioned or not. I have to be there to engage anyone who walks in to look a the art. I told that there is seldom any one to engage. Another highlight og retirement. But I must be feeling better. I can look around now and see all of the housework that hasn't been done since Beth left. Maybe tomorrow.
