Another Day; I'm Done

 I'm finished with the cardiac testing I had to do. I feel kind of wrung out now. I was NPO for a short time and had no caffeine for 24 hours prior and so the first thing I did after the tests was eat a granola bar and ask Dave to go by a Starbucks for a decaf latte.

We came home and I got out of the clothes I had worn to the hospital and into some sweats and a t-shirt. Dave made some yogurt-based ranch dressing and served it over the leftover salad I made day before yesterday. That was lunch.

I still have a slight headache, maybe from the medication they had to give me for the testing, maybe from not getting much sleep. Maybe from having less caffeine than I normally do. Maybe from the strain on my neck and shoulders from having to keep my hands above my head during the test. 

I'm tired. And I'm tired of tests.

Maybe I'll have another coffee. 

I really need to do some laundry and work on organizing my sewing area so that I can actually sew something. I just remembered that I have to order something from Amazon.

Ok, that's done at least. I also ordered from the medical supply company I use and from Thriftbooks online. (I got three quilting books and the book of short stories that Haruki Murakami put out in 2020. How did I miss that? Pandemic brain?)

I'm reading, very slowly, the autobiography that Mel Brooks wrote and published at the start of the pandemic. I love Mel Brooks. Who doesn't love Mel Brooks? It's charming and funny and a bit old fashioned. Turns out he loves the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers movie Top Hat as much as I do. I had it on VHS when I was a kid and if I've seen it once, I've seen it 40 times. It's a wonderful movie.

 

This is my favorite dance number from it. 

Speaking of music, the tech today asked what kind of music I liked so that she could play some music while the test was running. I should know better, but I answered, "Anything is fine." So of course she played country music, the only kind of music that I'm really not that into. (Some country music is really good, strange and good, but a lot of it is really, really bad. Really, really bad. You never want to be a captive audience where country is concerned.)
