The mountain and the stoplight

Oh, dear!

This is actually from three hours ago, right after Margie, Jobe and I left McDonald's and began the drive to Anchorage. I prepared the Instagram after we reached Anchorage but forgot to mail it to the blog until I got home and saw it was not in the blog.

That was a big surprise to me, as I expected to see it. I then promptly mailed to the blog and now...

Off to see the doctor, surrounded by beauty

Here I am on my way to my 5:30 PM doctor appointment. Right now, I am sitting in an examining room waiting for my doctor. I have not seen her since before my first surgery, June 30, 2012. She does not know all the complications I suffered afterwards, the emergency surgery and all that. She is going to be very surprised to see the gigantic hernia in the middle of my belly. I wonder what she will think of it? She does not know I have to get a third surgery to fix it – that I should've had it already, but am precariously and apprehensively waiting until the Affordable Healthcare Act kicks in so I can hopefully afford it.

The mountains sure are pretty.

A dog in a pickup truck with a mountain ahead and hamburgers to the side

Here's a dog in a pickup truck with a mountain ahead. As for me, I am in our red Ford Escape, headed for Carl's Jr. to get a hamburger, a glass of water and no fries. I ate a big breakfast today, a decent lunch and just can't overdo as badly as I want to, but I was really hungry for that hamburger. I should be in the left turn lane with the red arrow ahead of me, but if I had switched into that lane I could not have photographed the dog with the mountain behind it.

It was okay. I only had to drive another half block, turn left into the Target parking lot, turn left again, drive through the parking lot and then cross the Palmer - Wasilla Highway and then, just like that, I was in line at Carl's Jr.

That was when I noticed a chicken salad and decided I could get that instead. So I got the chicken salad with no fries and water. There was a little bit of chicken in it and whole lot of lettuce with a touch of tomato and onion.

It was pretty good, but the trouble was when I drove away after eating the salad, I really wanted a hamburger.

Ever since we went to Hawaii, I have been eating coconut M&M's, which I didn't even know existed until we found them in Hawaii. After we returned, I googled and discovered they sell them at Walgren's here in Wasilla. I allot myself four a night. Each time I eat one, it's kind of like I go back to Hawaii for just a little bit. Tonight, I ate my four and then ate four more. They tasted so good I allotted myself another four and then figured, "what the heck, I might as well eat four more" and so I did.

That's what happens when you go to Carl's to get a hamburger and get a salad instead.

And this is all I have time to post tonight.

Deadlines.

In the morning I look at Pioneer Peak, and then late tonight at Waikiki; I don't believe it

And then, very late in the same day, about 11:PM Hawaii time, Margie and I stepped onto a dark
