Cheri and I left at 7:45
am for my doctor’s appointment in Tampa. I checked in at the lab for blood work
and found out that there wasn’t any order for labs. I am not sure what good it does
to see a hematology doctor without labs. I did see the doctor and couldn’t do
much without the labs. Long story short I got labs after seeing the doctor and
have to go back in three months. In other words it was a wasted trip. It was
noon before we got back home. We had a quick lunch and headed to the theater to
see the movie Joy at 1:00 pm. It wasn’t a very good movie and was a waste of
our time. In fact I even slept through part of it. It was after 3:00 pm when we
got home and as far as I am concerned it was a wasted day. I tried to do some
computer work and that also didn’t go like I wanted it to. I finally gave up
and headed for the recliner to join Cheri and watched some TV. The other thing
that didn’t help today was the weather as it was 47 degrees this morning and
only made it to the low 60’s. Ok I am done complaining for today, wonder what
tomorrow will bring.

It was a very cool and
damp day as we had a drizzle of rain almost all day. The temp was in the low 60’s.
Grandma didn’t want to go to church as her knee is still hurting her and she
said that it was too cold. After church we stopped at Publix’s to pick up a couple
of things for Mel and Jan and then stopped by there place for a short visit.
They had planned on gong to Sunday school this morning but Mel had a weak spell
so decided to stay home. After we left Mel and Jan’s we headed to Wal-Mart to
get Grandma’s groceries and then to her place to deliver them. I also had a
couple of jobs she needed to have done before we left. After all was said and
done it was after 3:00 pm when we got home. Cheri read and watched TV and I
went to bed and had a nap. I have been feeling really tired and needed to rest.
I slept until 6:00 pm. Cheri fixed pizza for supper and then we settled in to
watch a couple of movies we had recorded and then the Green Bay Packer football
game which they lost. I don’t think they will get passed the first round in the
play offs.

Last night we made plans
to go shopping today with Larry and Denise at Ikea in Tampa. They were going to
call us with the time we were going to leave so we were ready by 9:00 am. We
got an e-mail from them letting us know that they would pick us up at noon. So
I worked on the electrical where I installed the back splash and got that done
just as Larry and Denise arrived. Cheri took it easy relaxing and reading, she did
spend a little time in her sewing room. She is waiting for some sewing templets
she ordered so she can finish the quilt that she is working on. We arrived at
Ikea around noon and was ready to walk the maze through Ikea. If you have been
to an Ikea before you will understand what I mean about walking the maze. We
got half way though and came to the food court. So we decided to have lunch
there. We have eaten there before and was good. Cheri and Denise both found a couple
of things to buy. When we got home I took the car and filled it with gas and
got our Power Ball lottery ticket. I had gotten a call from friends in
Wisconsin when we were in Ikea so we called them back and they are planning on
coming to Florida in March and want to spend some time with us.

Happy New Year to
everyone. We pray for peace for our nation and good health for all. Cheri and I
are looking to have a better year than last year as far as health goes. Cheri
still has the double vision and in hopes we can get something done for that
this month. This forenoon Cheri worked on painting trim in the kitchen. She got
one coat done and thinks she will have to paint two more coats. I took the door
locks and window frame out of the back door so she could paint that without
doing any masking with tape. I took down the Christmas Lights and made a trip
to Lowe’s to get some electrical receptacles to finish the electrical on the refrigerator
side of the kitchen. When I got home I painted the new receptacles to give them
a better match to the back splash. This afternoon at 2:00 pm we picked up Larry
and Denise and went to Golden Coral for a late lunch and an early dinner to
celebrate the New Year. Then we went back to their place to play a couple games
of Hand, Knee, and Foot. Cheri and Denise won the first game and Larry and I
won the second game so we all finished the day as winners.

Wow! This is the last time
to write 2015. Cheri worked all day painting in the kitchen dinette area. She
still has the trim left to paint. I worked on grouting the back splash that I
have up. It was a long day for both of us. Cheri is happy with the back splash
and I also think it looks good now that the grouting is done. One section done
and two more to do. I was just thinking it doesn’t sound good when I tell
people I have been working on the kitchen over two years. I am going to finish
the electrical and then all that is left for that section of cabinets will be
the trim work. We celebrated the New Year by watching some TV and going to bed
well before the New Year came in.
