So many phone calls, so much waiting

The morning started with a welfare check call from Humana. She explained that I should be getting one nurse visit a week, and she will tell the nurse to bring catheter supplies next time. Then she called back but I forgot what she said.
Watched TV with my feet up as PT suggested.
I was out on the porch at noon waiting for my ride to the podiatrist before I realized the ride was at 1 for a 2 pm appointment.
The ride showed up with a van, no lift, and I needed a step stool to get into the very high vehicle. He took freeways, which was stupid because surface streets are more direct. Freeways here go all around the city, not through it, unless you are going north-south through the center of town. It takes 35 minutes either way.
I got there at 20 till, they took me in 10 minutes, did x-rays and the doctor said my feet probably got nicked, which is why the toes were bleeding. But I doubt that. He trimmed my nails, buffed my left big toe so it looks normal now, and applied moisturizer to both feet. I expected him to suggest I use moisturizer regularly but he didn't.
Out at 2:20, called for a ride back, had to wait till 3:30 which became 3:45. Not so bad, it was pleasant outside in the shade. Then in the sun as it went down. Freeways all the way back. :-(
Got a call from a plumbing company I'd written to online, they don't do mobile homes. She sent me a recommendation for a company which does, but it's the company which gave me the cheap disposal and defective faucet in the first place. Found some online which looked better.
The drive and waiting exhausted me, I took Tylenol and went to bed. Spook curled up next to me and snored. I couldn't get to sleep so here I am at 10:30. Gatorade Zero is my friend.
Dinner was snotlickers. Lunch was berries & cream.
And Tylenol.
Ate 2 of the Ethel M booze filled chocolates in bed.
Neighbor came over with the mail.
Mixed drugs into Jade's wet food. Also changed her litterbox.
Tomorrow:
Mom's meals delivery
Change Spook's litterbox
Take the trash out
Haul big boxes to the curb
