Day 7

Whoever suggested apple slices with peanut butter - that's really good! I love peanut butter, but rarely eat apples, so I don't think I've ever had this combination before. I will definitely be having this again. I had that for lunch, along with one of the clementine oranges.  I'm not going to lie - it's still hard to not have a sugary treat. I caved and had 2 (before I would have 4) of the reeses covered animal cracker cookies. For dinner dh wanted the chicken burgers again, so this time for mine, I just had the baked chicken, no bun. Figured it was somewhat of a swap for eating the cookies, LOL.

And to whoever said they've had problems with Express Scripts (I haven't before) - welp, somehow they didn't get the prescription that dh's doctors office sent to them on Tuesday for the 90 day supply refills. Geez! I hadn't heard anything that the order was processed or shipped. I got online and dh's account was still showing no prescriptions. I called again and it took the lady even forever to find that they had put in a request to his doctor on Tuesday for a new prescription. So, I had to message dh's doctor again, apologizing, but somehow they didn't get the prescription order at Express Scripts and asked them to send it again, which I got a reply back not too long later that they sent it in again.

DH was able to get the 220 outlet added in his shop himself yesterday. He was pretty nervous and grumpy the whole time. He doesn't like working in electrical panels. But he got it done for a cost of materials of $270 and saved almost $1000 from having that electrician do it. He's also getting frustrated with trying to coordinate the arrival of the lift, having forklift here for that, and then scheduling the installer asap after that, so we don't have to have an expensive rented forklift sitting here for days. The trucking company was being very vague about when it will be delivered. He called them again (it shipped out of California like 2 or 3 days ago) and said listen, I have to have a narrower window delivery from you than "2 weeks". Now they are saying most likely next Wednesday. He will call them again on Monday for updated delivery time.

He didn't accept that answer and yesterday morning they told him it would likely be Wednesday. Then in the afternoon the driver who has the lift called and wanted to deliver it Sunday. Dh could barely understand a word the driver was saying. Something about he has an excavator on  his truck and will unload it. Dh is trying tell him you are not using an excavator to unload my lift and set it in front of my shop! You can't delivery it Sunday, because I need to order a forklift. Then dh called the dispatch company and says ya, you guys told me it's coming Wednesday, the driver is calling me saying he's coming Sunday and I can barely understand a word he's saying, and he's not using an excavator on my driveway, and I've been trying to get a specific date from you guys so I can coordinate having a forklift here, because they need 2 business days notice! The sooner the forklift can get delivered is later morning on Monday, so dh called both the driver and dispatch company back and told him the earliest he can deliver it is noon on Monday. Geez Louise.

Then, about 2 hours later the dispatch for the trucking calls and says cancel your forklift order, the driver's truck broke down and he won't be delivering on Monday.....dh was like ya sure it did. So, who knows when it's coming. DH said boy, trucking sure has changed from many many years ago when he was a long haul driver. He had a delivery day right down to the time he was supposed to delivery and he had to make it.

Later I figured out that dh's Express Scripts info is with my login (since he's on my insurance, I guess) and saw that they did now get the prescription (2nd request) in process, so now it should be on it's way soon. I don't know why it doesn't show up for the login I have with him. It's showing the same insurance ID number. But, glad it's resolved now. I've never had an issue with them shipping my refills out (I have them set up on auto refill) to arrive in plenty of time before I run out.

We had a nice week of weather, but this weekend is cold, cloudy and rain and in the 50's for the high. They are saying maybe snow up in the higher elevations.  This morning I need to walk down to the mailboxes and mail a birthday card (with gift card) so son in law and also mail in my form I had to fill out for jury duty.

My plan today is to make a mostly sugar free banana cream pie. The banana pudding mix is sugar free and I bought sugar free cool whip. I had kind of wanted to make one for dh's birthday but we didn't have any bananas that were usable at that time, so I guess this is for Father's Day.

DD and SIL are working on getting the permits they need to eventually get started on building on the property they bought awhile back. They had to do some test and dig 3 big holes (different than a perc test) and have someone from the county there that measured how long it took the water (from a big water truck they had to hire). Some company wanted like $4000 to do this test, so SIL just rented a small backhoe and dug the holes himself. While they were at their property (5 mostly wooded acres) all day they saw a momma deer with 3 fawns. DD was sending lovely pics, but the pics never had all 3 fawns in them, she just said she counted 3 of them near the momma. Very trustful deer compared to the deer around our house.
