G'day, folks.
Well, we did it. husband & I went out today and bought a set of saucepans on sale. I've never been to this store before, it was a sort of kitchen/homewares supply store, the only frills being the quality of the merchandise. We had a brochure from them plus checked out the website. My best friend recommended us to go there and she's good at shopping around.
We bought a good set, Circulon, with five pieces. Just about every set we saw included a steamer but we have found that since microwave ovens, we never used our steamer insert so we didn't want one. This set was $400, reduced from $1000.
After that we ran a couple of other errands, dropped in on easy child 2/difficult child 2 (to talk about tomorrow's job) and then went to my doctor's appointment.
At the doctor we talked about the various doctors etc I'm seeing and worked out a care plan. I now have a referral for cheaper appointments with my physiotherapist. I see her on Monday. I told the GP that my pain is getting worse, I need to get the name of another rheumatologist to her so she can refer me. She's about to take two weeks' holiday (her Christmas holidays - Egyptian Copt) so I'll have to sort that out afterwards.
I had a physically quiet day since husband was driving. I'm still tired, though - still not sleeping well.
Tonight I christened the new cookware by making paella. Well, husband DID want me to use up leftovers! A pity it made more leftovers.
Tomorrow husband is taking mother in law to her doctor's appointment to save me the extra driving. I'm going to collect easy child 2/difficult child 2 and drive her to the face-painting gig. It will mean $60 for her but she will need my help with the gig, two of us will be needed. Depending on how well she copes, I'll back off as needed. But she can do the more physical stuff while I just sit and supervise, or paint. It's only a two hour gig, it will be interesting to see how it goes.
Enjoy your Friday, everyone.
