Thursday

We stopped to drop off a rear wheel for the Tableview elders at the bike shop, it has a broken axle. We then stopped at the doctor's office to have blood drawn for Sister Courtright to have them check her A1C sugar levels for the past 3 months. She has been without her Glipizide diabetes medicine for about 2 to 3 months now. We spent the day at the office except for one trip to drop off the van down the street to get it washed and waxed for tomorrow's visit from Elder and Sister Koch, the area general authority, and Sister Lisa Harkness, the councilor in the General Primary Presidency. We also noticed a vagrant setting up a sleeping area between the fences that bound our property and the hospital property. Elder Courtright sent a message to the facilities manager asking what we should do. We're worried that he might observe all the supplies we keep in the shed nearby where he is setting up camp and break in.

We spent the evening at the Canal Walk Mall getting our prescriptions refilled and picking up a few other items and enjoying some "all-you-can-eat" pizza at Panorotti's. We discovered that they don't use Glipizide here and haven't for many years. Strange, because that seems to be a standard product in the states. Oh well, we'll have to see what the doctor recommends instead.

You can just make out the plastic covering where the vagrant is setting up house on the other side of the fence
