Tomorrow is a big day and so that makes today Big Day Eve! Ha.

It kicks off with my annual doctor's appointment. As an old person, I'll need to remember 3 words and draw a clock and a few more mind testing tricks. Then pee on command and donate blood. I like my doctor a lot and, fortunately, rarely need to see her. I do stress about missing a mind trick (I did draw the clock wrong once but corrected myself before I finished.) And insurance - is there a wrinkle I'm not seeing in this year's plan? And, of course, the peeing on command. But, it will all be fine.

And then I will stop by McDonald's for a sausage biscuit and coffee and head for the airport where I will arrive way too early. But, not early enough to come home first. My brother hasn't been here for a couple of years. We are in contact often but nothing beats a few days of idle chit chat, ideas exchange, and laughs. Plus just hanging out with the person who gets me.

It's rather luxurious to have the Timber Ridge guest room. Someone else will be making sure his bed linens are fresh and there are clean towels, soap, etc in his bathroom. I could have gotten a sleeper sofa and he could have stayed here but the guest room deal is so much nicer.

Today I plan on going back to that exercise class. Yesterday I walked out to the elbow a couple of times but otherwise did not leave my apartment. My back and legs were really pissed about that by last night. So today, I need to make sure I walk down to the lobby this afternoon at least once.

It's supposed to be dry today and rain tomorrow. But, someone fucked something up and it's pouring rain today. The dog park I can see from my window is a dog pond this morning. It's also pretty cold out right now, which is unusual. Around here, if it's cold, it's generally dry and if it's wet, it's usually warmer. This is why snow never finds us. There's too much fog to see the mountains that are usually capped with snow but I'm guessing they are getting a fresh coat.
