Snow King Ski Run

Snow King for Lunch

K Mart

Monday the 5th: Bonnie came to get me about 9 a.m. and we started off for Jackson. It had been stormy but the road was cleared well enough, part of it even dry, and we did fine getting there. The scenery was beautiful as usual. We stopped first at Smith’s to see if there were any prescriptions that had been called in there, so I would know what to ask for or not when I saw the doctor. There were no prescriptions even though I had called in for some to be filled. That was o.k. because I could straighten it out later. Next we went to Kmart and did some shopping. I looked for the new camera that I’ve been wanting but they didn’t have the right model so didn’t get one. I was able to find a few things that were on the big list, although not as much as I would have liked. I finally found an outdoor thermometer and bought a small wall clock for the kitchen. The thermometer only goes to twenty below, I noticed after I got it home. Might take the clock back, not sure I like it well enough. Then we went to check in at the Hitching Post. UH OHH! The woman there said we were a day early for our reservation.

Alex had made the reservation for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Befuddled for a while, I said I’d go over to Oncology and see what had gone wrong. So over to the hospital . My appt. card said 6th and 7th – and turns out I had assumed my chemo day would be Tuesday morning as it usually is, with the surgery to get the port out in the afternoon. That would have made my doctor appointment with Dr. Meno on Monday afternoon at 3. Well it wasn’t – and it was my fault because I never looked at the calendar, just blanked it out, and figured Monday was the 6th. NOT. And believe me, this lapse is difficult to write in the blog for all to see!

I told Bonnie just to go home if she wanted to and maybe come back and get me in a couple days. But we decided rather than drive back home we’d just stay Monday night and have a mini vacation doing things around Jackson. Then we wouldn’t have to drive home and back again on Tuesday. We shopped- Coldwater Creek and more at Kmart where I got a couple of front opening sweatshirts, went to a couple of the better galleries. Ate lunch at Snow King and went to Pizza Hut for dinner.

A lot of Jackson's Holiday lights are still up, and the park in the square is especially pretty with ice blue lights on the elk antler arches and all the trees. I never got a picture of it, though should have. There is quite a bit of snow in Jackson and more in Wilson where the doctor’s office is.
