The sun is shining and the lake is like glass, it's only in the 60's and not many birds around. The orioles are all gone....there was still one here on Thursday, but never saw him on Friday or this morning yet. The feeder doesn't look like any of the jelly is gone. Even had a half an orange out there for them...uneaten. My squirrels are here and so are the hummingbirds....I refilled their nectar yesterday with some stronger mixture for them. Two big Ravens are here this morning, I haven't seen them for a month or so. Even the sparrows leave when they are here squawking.
Judy and I had a real relaxing day....reading a GI diet book that I brought up and reading recipes in magazines and things like that while we waited for the plumber to come and check the air-conditioner that we thought was broken. When he came, he turned it on and it worked fine. Thinks that maybe the off peak program that I have, had it turned off when we needed it...that really hot day we had a few weeks ago....when the heat index was over 100. Anyway it's working fine and he didn't charge me a cent, and it's nice and cool in the cabin now. He did suggest we get a dehumidifier for the basement furnace room, as that would help the air-conditioner work even better. He visited with us for about 5 or 10 minutes, and he was on his way.
Played Gin again yesterday afternoon, but interrupted the game for dinner and then went back and I ended up winning again. We even got up and took a walk in the middle...Judy thought that would change her luck...but obviously didn't.
By 10 p.m. she was ready for bed, but I stayed up till about 11. She's still in bed this morning, so she must have been really tired. I wore her out!!
Today, we might go into the farmers market, however, I'm going to stop at the bakery in Elk River on Monday, so maybe we won't. We also have green beans and a zucchini left to fix, and we're eating dinner at the church this afternoon....so we don't need that either. At 4 p.m. the church has a Polka Mass, and then their dinner which I think is pork chops...at least that is what it was last year. They also have a silent auction and some kids games. Then tomorrow, I need to leave bright and early as I have to work at St. Tim's Carnival from 11:30 - 2 or 3. I think from there I will go to Bill and Kim's new house to see if they are even close to moving in. When I was at their house on Thursday, it didn't look like they were close to being packed. I sure hope all went well at the closing yesterday, and that the painter has started to do his thing.
On the home front (or my face) the rash is almost gone....it's really faded, and the scabs have fallen off. I almost don't need makeup....I said almost....but not concealer for sure. My unmentionable is about the same...not better....but not worse. I did get a call yesterday from Mayo and I will get to see Dr. Nelson (my surgeon) when I go down on the 20th. That is getting close!!! yippee!! I'll talk to her about my unmentionable if it's not better by then. I'll get some amoxicillin from her if I need to.
I feel pretty confident that the CT scan will show the spots are all gone....but that doesn't mean you can stop praying. I still have that ninth round of chemo on Wednesday before I go....and I can always use your prayers for that....and my hair...it's getting really thin....I mean really thin. So keep those thoughts and prayers coming and I'll keep praying for you. Love and prayers, m
