Events of the Day:
- Grocery/Medicines at Plaza San Antonio: in which I noticed that Tinette's (the hair salon) has opened a branch where the parlor for the matronas de alta sociedad used to be. Made mental note to try it out some time, maybe with a foot spa first before letting them touch my hair. Bought Ma's vitamin B-complex supplement at Mercury. Bought tinned cat food at Rustan's.

- Cash n Carry: in which lunch was had at Teriyaki Boy, things were bought at Japan Home/Daiso, chair massage at Light Seekers, and litter bought at Macoy's Pet Supply; after which, the usual stockpiling of groceries.

Major event of the day: blood extraction for both Ramon and Dad. Went through the Greenbelt McDo drive-thru for Ma's apple pie. Ramon frustrated that hamburgers are not served for breakfast. He declares this is A THING THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CONSUMING PUBLIC. *grin*

If I am not mistaken, I think I was actually able to nap - a real, restorative sleep that I would cheerfully have continued through to the next day - except for the chores that neededto be done.

Event of the Day: Ramon's and Dad's cardio check-ups. Dr. Gatmaitan pleased with Ramon's recovery, pronounces him fit and reminds him to observe the usual precautions. Some medicines added, some taken away, some dosages adjusted downward. As noted below, all his meds can be obtained at The Generics Pharmacy. Here is a lovely punchline: the Carvedilol 6.25mg he needs is sold in Mercury at 9.00/tab. The exact same thing at Generics is 5.00/tab...ehem. Ramon has been on mostly generics for nearly two years, and as his blood tests continue to return normal, we assume this is a good thing. Now, to get him to observe the usual precautions....!

Dad's check-up was so normal for his age that the doctor is having him come back end-April. *grin* Ramon has to go back end-March, with matching blood extraction. Ah, well.

  Ramon just finished his monthly checkup and all is well.
  
• 12:55:21:
  The best part is being able to get generic versions of all his meds. This
  is a marvelous thing!

  Trying out a health tonic of apple cider vinegar and honey in equal parts.
  A shot glass in a glass of ice water as desired. Very refreshing!
