Just got back from church and training for ushering.    It was quite informative.   I think I am ready and strong enough to go back to doing it again.

It rained while I was on my way over.   For maybe 5 minutes.   Not enough but at least something.

We need much more rain to make a difference.

It was a nice day today.

Nora called this afternoon and we had such a nice visit.   I remember when I was young, that long distance calls cost a fortune so you only  called people on holidays and in an emergency.    How lovely that we can just pick up the phone and connect with anyone in the good old USA.

I make my reservations for my plane trip to Wisconsin for the reunion in September.   Glad that is done and I will have a car waiting for me.

Bart and Barb took me.  Then since the travel agent is in the Mall,  we did some shopping and ate out at the Mexican restaurant.    I found a nice top to wear for the reunion.

On the way home we stopped at Joanne Fabrics and I picked up some fat quarters for my stash and for the Quild Guild meeting which is on Monday evening.

So a good day with good company.

It was a moderately busy day today.

I went to Mass at 9AM.  And then walked over to the Bible  Study.    There were only about 8 of us there today due to some confusion .

We will not be meeting until September 12th now when Fr. Phil's parish bible study on Revelations .  A long time.   I don't quiet understand these sabbaticals but I am in a different country then Wisconsin.   We met no matter what.   Even if there were only two of us.

Bart stopped by this afternoon.   He is good at that.   Making sure I am OK and we have good visits.   I am truly blessed.

Went to the 8:30AM Mass this morning.     Didn't feel too well, but it was OK.    After Mass, I went t the coffee social and visited with a few friends.

The rest of the day was quiet.   I caught up on some correspondence and managed to eat on leftovers.

Tomorrow I will have the lawn mowed and go to my chiropractor.    Sure hope he can help these acy bones.

A very quiet day;

The most excitement was that Bart went with me to check the air pressure in my  tires because the light came n.   One was really low.

Aside from that it was just a quiet day.

Well,  my air conditioner seems to be working finally.

It was a quiet day.    Bart stopped by for a bit which was a pleasure and broke up the day.

Tomorrow is quiet also but I need to get air in my tires.   Ich.   Bart says it is the change in temps.

Well, all of my problems seem to have corrected themselves.

My toilet started working just fine when the plumber came and turned the water back on and started flushing.

My air conditioner refuses to heat the house when the technician arrives.   I guess it is just a way to laugh at me.   As long as I get to sleep at temperatures below 85 degrees, I don't care.

Not one exciting thing has been going on for the past few days, except that my plumbing is acting up and I have a plumber coming to fix a toilet tomorrow morning.

My air conditioner still doesn't work properly, so the air guy is coming too.   May world is falling apart around me:(

Bart and Barb invited me for supper tonight.  I sure was glad as I needed to be talking to real people.

Got to see a dermatologist today.  He has prescribed some new medicines to help get rid of this horrible rash that I have been enduring.

So far, the first one at least gave some immediate relief.   Yea.

I'll keep you posted.

Doctor's appointment today.   I am doing well, except for this darned rash that we can't seem to get rid of.

Got a call from Nora today.   Always a pleasure.

It was much cooler today.   All the way down to the 90s.   Perhaps my air conditioner will work properly now.   I have found out that over 100 degrees confuses our air conditioners they are efficient up to the high 90s   Go figure.

Bless you all.

Another quiet day.    I went t mass this morning.  Then I joined my fellow parishioners for coffee and donuts after mass.   I have met several of my fellow churchgoers at this event.

The rest of the day was TOO quiet.  I did get a call from my niece Vikki which was the light of my day.   She is a special girl.

I cooked a batch of spaghetti yesterday and invited Bart and Barb and Marlies over to eat it with me.    Nice to have company.

I'll have to do it more often now that I am starting to feel better.

A busy day, starting with Mass at 9AM followed by Bible Study.     Now we will not meet again until August 1st.   Not like in Sheboygan Falls where we met every week even if only one or two were there.   It's OK but I do look forward to these discusssions.

I am trying baking soda to stop some of the itching from my rash.    Got to go to the basics:)

Did a few errands too.   I am actually getting hungry which I have not been for some time.   I am preparing spaghetti for this weekend and invited Bart and Barb over to eat it with me.

A rather busy day.   Kerry came and cleaned this morning.

Writer's Club tonight.    I read a couple of my older poems and listened to chapters from others.    Marti from my bible study and her husband have joined the group so we are a bit bigger.   I am finally feeling well enough to be out and about of an evening.

Later.

The heat persists.    It was up to 100 degrees again this afternoon but is already going down.  

Was home all day.    Did a bit of wash and kept treating my rashes.   I think I may be feeling a bit better on that front.

The news said that Lawton reached 98 degrees, however, my thermometer showed 103 degrees.    Go figure.     I stayed in except for a quick jaunt to pick up a prescription and some milk.

Tomorrow I have another doctor appointment.   Sure hope they can get rid of this rash.

98 Degrees again today.    Again,  at least not triple digits, but it couldn't get any closer.

Last night I went to the Wichita Mountain Quilt Guild meeting.   I had to leave right after the meeting because I felt squishy again. 

Saw Dr. Ayte today.   She prescribed some meds to help the rash and the itching.    One of them, I can't pick up until tomorrow(:.    But I have the anti itch pill.    Hope it helps.    It is supposed to make me sleepy too so I can't drive for a day or two.

Bart will help me when I need it.    Don't have to go anywhere tomorrow except to pick up that prescription and he can help me with that.

Nothing new otherwise.     Nicky is just fine and a good companion.

I showed a high of 98 degrees on my thermometer.    Not triple digits but close enough.   The only times I left the house were to care for Lily, Simba and Kitch at Bart and Barb's.  

Bart and Barb will be home tomorrow sometime, so I just have tomorrow morning and noon to go over and check the critters.   They are doing just fine, but miss their people.

Tomorrow starts a busy week of doctor appointments.   Even Nicky has one.   I hope they can determine how to get rid of this rashy itching that I have.

We had a slim to none change of rain and it turned out to be NONE.   AGAIN.

Sure would have welcomed that rain.   Well,   we are in Oklahoma.    And it is summer.

Nora called this afternoon.   We had a good visit.   Always happy to have a voice in the middle of the day.

Next week, I have two doctor appointments.   Sure hope they can help me with my aches and the squishy feeling.     I am not learning patience if this is the lesson that I am supposed to be  gaining:)
