The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.
I got my Cerificate of Appreciation award at the museum yesterday. Yessir, 319 hours (or over) of dedicated volunteerism. Gee, some guys gave almost 1000 hours. Too bad you don't get a tax deduction for those hours. They are going to have to do something about that. Say $1000.00 deduction per 100 hours of volunteer work. Someone would have to keep track of the hours, just as the museum does. With the price of gas and all, it seems only fair that we should get a tax break. I think that there will be lots of volunteering in the years that baby boomers (like me) are going to retire.
Got a miserable cold today. Started a few days ago with a sore throat. bleeeech!
Went to see the endocrinologist Dr Woo yesterday. I see him so often he has taken to calling me Den. My boodsugars are real good, holding at <7.0 avg. (long term).....believe me thats good. My creatinine is still high at 225 but holding...avg is <150. So all in all pretty good. I got some samples of a new medication for cholesterol called 'Ezetrol'. Its very expensive but its got to be better than any of the statins which make my back muscles ache terribly. Anyways, the Doc will keep me supplied with it. By the way, Gary even Pravochol is a statin drug and that may be the cause of your aches and pains. I think at first the Lipitor or the Crestor was OK and I could tolerate them but after a few months the pain became unbearable. Anyhow, we'll see if this works. My cholesterol is <5 so I am not too concerned but having had heart problems they would like it to be even better. sheeeeesh. Anyways enough bitchin and bellyachin....ya got it ...live with it.
Well, it looks like going to the gym is out for today...better stay home and rest up and try to get over this. So later, Shalom, Peace, keep yer stick on the hice (an old Quebec saying). Bye from Fra Dennis...your only hope for salivation. Send me all your money and I'll put in a word for you!....a local call for me! TATA
