The Run-Down

Let's see...

• I got an epidural in my back last week. I think it made it worse (so far), but it is what it is.
• I started walking my early morning daily half-a-mile again 3 weeks ago (except on Sundays). I've done it off and on for years. I use the treadmill when I can't get outside. Wave when you go by & I'm out there!
• Kitty died a few weeks ago. When we rescued him from being dumped out at the bridge in 2004 he was so thin you thought your hand would punch through his skin. He had a very good long life after all. I miss him.
• Mom finished her 2nd round of therapy a couple of weeks ago. They had her walking without even a cane. She won't do that alone, but we all try to put her through her paces when we visit her.
• July 4th saw the five of us eating BBQ chicken in the shop. Food was good, but it was hot outside and I'm spoiled with AC nowadays...I was glad to get back home with my pjs & remote.
• We found out our pepper plants were mis-marked and are not nice green bell peppers. They are hot things that I could care less about.
• Hubster's dad turned 93 at the end of June. He also moved to a new apartment. It's closer to a better hospital than where he was before. He goes to the gym 3x a week. We should all be so blessed when we get to that age!
• I played piano at church for 6 weeks while the regular pianist was on vacation. Now that she's back we're splitting the duties so it's less nerves on both of us! Hopefully this is pan out to a win-win situation.
• Hubster pulled his back, but kept on a-going. Lately he's been working on the sailboat whenever the heat has been less than 90° or so. He has to be careful since the heart attack. We want to keep him for a while longer ;)
• Watching unfolding tragedies on TV has almost become a pastime. I just wish people could see people first instead of color. We're all in this together. Perhaps we should think of our race as "American" first.
• Just think - we haven't even gotten to the hot part of summer yet! I think high temperatures affect how people react to situations. I pray for cool heads in the coming months.
