Annual Physical

I went for my annual physical this morning. I couldn't eat anything after 10 last night so by the time I was finished at the doctor's I was famished. Stopped at McDonald's for a couple of sausage burritos and a senior coffee on the way home. Got a good report from my doctor and will get the results from the blood tests next week. The only thing i do not like is the rectal exam but it is a necessary evil.

I made a shepherd pie for dinner. Judy added the seasoning and I think she overdid the garlic powder. Other than that it was good. We had macadamia cookies for dessert. I made these Tuesday afternoon. I have decided to try and keep away from soft drinks so I have been drinking water only, except for my morning coffee.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
