Doctors and Such

I had made a doctor's appointment for today. Our family doctor works on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at a medical clinic across the street. It is easy for us to walk down Fourth and cross Columbia Street. However, because it is so close, I left the apartment a little too early. 

To kill a few minutes, I walked onto the New Westminster parkade and crossed the rail tracks on the pedestrian crosswalk. There are stairs and an elevator down to Pier Park. I didn't descend but rather snapped this photo.

 

It's hard to tell in this photo, but New Westminster is still being affected by the Coquitlam wildfire.  The smoke mixes with the low-lying fog and sticks around over the Fraser River here.

My time with the doctor was short.  I just wanted him to know about my morning glucose monitoring now.  On the medical front, in the afternoon, we also got an email from the province saying that our bivalent COVID booster shots and regular seasonal flu shots could now be booked.  We reserved slots for tomorrow afternoon at a nearby pharmacy.
