Too much of allergy medicine or what???
Am having second thought if I should post this experience last Friday and Saturday— its kinda awfully "DUH" stuff…but right now whenever I think about it just make me smile and say "oh well…"
Last Friday 12 August went to Everett Naval Base for my Doc. appoinment at 2 pm, followup check-up of my ER trip. Drop Bianca Ann with her Nina Gina around 1:10 pm. I have to leave early bcoz of the traffic kahit na its only 6 miles drive. As I was approaching the trestle (bridge) I experience panic attack for some reason—am just so scared to drive that bridge with a 2 lane in 55 miles/hr speed — driving next to the wall tapos yung pa-kurba pa…daming mga "what-if" incedent playing in my mind. I feel good nga maka-lampas ako sa tulay… traffic was not so bad at Everret downtown. Got in Base clinic at around 1:30 pm–so glad got on time. Went to the front desk give my military ID and mentioned my appoinment— I was asked who is my primary caregiver. The Recep’t told me the said Doctor is gone for the week— I said what???? with disappoinment…how come the lady over the Tricare appt. did not tell me about it–still put me in schedule today!!! Umu-usok na ang ilong ko sa galit…and she just replied that your appoinment is on 19 Aug. that’s next WEEK!!! and she continued I can print the schedule for you—with my mixed emotion (hiya,disappointed at holding pa ng bladder ko na anytime soon eh puputok na-:-8) insist pa rin ako na i told the tricare lady I need to be seen in a week. The Recep’t just refer me to see the Clinic Nurse instead— I agreed and tried to calmed down and I was advised just to wait for my original appt. and beside my Doc. knows my health background daw. Drove home back and was so embarassed with Gina kasi baka akalain niya am just making up my appoinment…check my calendar..Yes! its on 9 August –next friday!!! Bummer!!! I just hope Gina still available to watch Bianca Ann this coming friday—At 4 pm SAME DAY my hubby called to informed me of a picnic at work tomorrow with all the bouncy house and a lot of summer stuff…I was so excited.
Here comes Saturday13 August—we agreed we are going to use the Explorer but he needs to fix/replace its radio (i forgot what its called). He woke up early morning so he can have time to fix it before noon and drive 1 and half hr to Whidbey Island . The picnic start at noon till 5 pm…. comes 11: am he is not done yet with all the wire hangin out the SUV–still figuring which wire goes where…keep bugging him that we need to go get ready and just use the Cadillac. Sabi pa niya my poor wife halata daw na he dont take me out that much (*smile*) Its true weekend lang kasi ang pahinga niya from driving–he got yard work to attend pa. We left the house around 12:10 pm..we use the shorcut going the Whidbey island– we drove on a scenic farm/plantation and some people are harvesting crops…told Billy I would love to work on a farm during harvest time. Sabi pa niya yung mga tao daw na-nagha-harvest till afternoon daw yun sa mga field..kasi andoon sila when Billy drove at dusk- till on his way back home at 5 pm. oopps medyo mahirap din yun ah!
Good thing BIanca Ann sleeps the whole way to Whidbey Island… we did stopped by at Billy’s office to get his eye glasses first then go on inside the base and to the picnic..so excited… to see a lot of Filipino and FOODS!!! Kumakalam na nag sikmura kosa gutom. Drove to the said venue Rockcliff park…it was QUITEand EMPTY!! no Bouncy; no people; no food… we did drove more to the RV park of Rockcliff..NOTHING!!!! Me and Billy just look at each other and wondering if we are on a RIGHT PICNIC VENUE… check the flyer that Billy had— Venue: Rockcliff Park..yes we got the right place… look at the DATE: 20 August 2005.."BUMMER!!!!" We just both laugh— and how could we miss to read/check the date before driving 1 & half hr. Stopped by sa NEX for our lunch at the King Rice (chinese food)… bought some wire for hooking up the Explorer radio at least di rin nasayang ang trip namin to the base—he!he!he! Buti na lang nakalimutan ni Bianca Ann ang bouncy—I was telling her pa naman we are going to a party with a bouncy…
On our way home we did check the Deception Pass Bridge..nice bridge remind me of San Juanico Bridge back in Phils. Stopped by din kami in one of the produce store who sells ice cream and post cards… we had their ice cream on their small vineyard… I was so amaze with the grapes on the vine…never see one in my life. Of course took some pic for souviner— me and my camera; Bow!!!
We got home around 6 pm safe and sound not much traffic–thanks God!!! After all the driving my hubby did last Saturday–and knowing he does it twice a day…I feel sorry for him and his butt—(*giggling*. Kaya minsan I just let him eat and sleep during week days after work, most of the time walang ng lakas to play with Bianca Ann— tuloy si Bianca Ann made a song for her daddy: "Daddy’s home song" Got a video of her singing it–so funny.
Back to saturday event— while checking my e-mail I was happy to see i got something from Rissa… Rissa/honey just made me a Digital scrapbooking (hope said it right..)easter out of our easter family pic. so, so pretty I love it….and today Sunday I got another one Bianca Ann taken last 4th of July. Love those creation..thanks a lot Marissa–bless your heart for your kindness… I did post it in my photo album.
Opps i hope your eyes still OK pa sa kababasa ng post ko — thanks for your patience and you all have a nice Monday. Till next—
