Let’s see…I think I need to go into town for a spot of groceries (out of lettuce and Thursday is Salad Night), and I’ve got to work for a couple of hours tonight.
I was supposed to go to the doc’s this morning, but that’s been pushed back to 2 Feb.

…and laundry, a day late due to doc appointment.
This doc appointment was for MrsT, to get a congenital heart issue fixed. This was the initial consultation with her cardiologist…who has now referred her to his partner for another consultation, before the final decision will be made.
So many appointments…

I need to pick up some things at the store.
Then prepare the house for the winter storm that is coming, starting very early tomorrow morning. By Monday morning, we are looking at bitter cold nights, and daytime highs below freezing (32F/0C). 30F/-1C on Monday, 24F/-4C on Tuesday.
Slight chance of snow and ice here, but the bigger chance for that is East of here.
I need to get the house ready for nighttime temperatures as low as 11F/-12C.

Always good for neighbourly relations to let them think you’re some sort of perv
Hmm sounds like it’s not straightforward.

In the UK our preparations tend to start and stop at turning the heating up and tutting at the havoc after
I don’t know what that was in response to, but I agree 100%!
Actually, it should be a-ok - docs here milk as many appointments out of you that they can.
Once she meets with the special specialist, who’s just across the hall, she’ll have to come back and meet with the regular specialist to talk about what the special specialist said, then the regular specialist will OK the procedure, then she’ll have to meet back with the special specialist to go over the particulars and get it scheduled, and it’s $$$ at every visit.
How do you prepare a house for that?

We don't need to prepare our homes for 110F temperatures, but do need to do a few things for sub freezing temps. First, turn off sprinkler systems that are on a timer. Disconnect garden hoses, and on older homes, wrap outdoor faucets with towels.
My house only has one sink on an outside wall, and it is on a North facing wall. I will open the cabinet doors under that sink to keep that wall warm where the pipes are.
I need to get some de-icer pellets out of the garage to melt any ice on my porch and walkways (it is eco-safe).
Basically, just some little stuff.

Blimey o’reilly!
That’s crazy. Here once the top guy ie the surgeon says it needs doing that’s it unless someone wants a second opinion. If something looks complicated you might get referred on to someone with those skills but other than that appointments costing money means they are kept to a minimum!

Ah right well, that’s the same stuff that happens here minus the de-icer pellets.
We do like grit everything in sight usually not until after it would have been really useful
It’s kind of funny in a way, because at this practice, there are three cardiologists, all surgeons. Once you’re a patient of the practice, you have a primary cardiologist.
However, it seems that the primary cardiologist rarely operates on his own patients - he’ll operate on the other cardiologists’ patients, and they’ll operate on his. MrsT has been a patient long enough that once she has this done, she’ll have been operated on by all three.
I think she should get a free sandwich or something with that.

The sandwiches are always free in hospital aren‘t they?
Or in America at least included in the price?

Nope. Meals are added to your bill. Hospitals bill for EVERYTHING here, and they charge premium prices. A single bandaid will add five bucks to your bill. You are not allowed to bring your own meds in with you (although I sneak mine in). They have to provide them, and give them to you. One dose of one of your meds can cost anywhere from 5 bucks to 50 bucks, depending on what it is.
