[Roscoe]

Fuzz, I am praying God guides you and directs you, as well as giving you comfort and peace. We love ya.

[MsJennJenn]

Yes, we all love you very much!! Praying you find direction and peace. Praying for the kids as well.

It's raining again. In July we'll be asking for rain.

[Roscoe]

At this point I don't see me asking for rain for the rest of the year. I am THAT over it!

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It was raining so hard this afternoon when we were on interstate that folks were slowing down and using their flashers. You could hardly see.

[MsJennJenn]

It poured here too all morning yesterday. Suns shining bright and mighty today though.

*Bookmarking this post so I can find it later, during a dry spell, because you are definitely going to be reminded of this one.

today and tomorrow. then I'm off to Arkansas for the weekend! Cleared out my storage shed of a car last night. Gotta drop off stuff at the church tomorrow night that belongs in my classroom, and then I need to vacuum and wipe the dash down. I'm thinking about paying to have it detailed this summer. It hasn't been that clean since I bought it. also - I paid off my vehicle this last month! I decided this year if I got any bonus at work, I'd pay off my car first thing (other than church giving), so I did! I'm glad to have that off my plate and out of my budget!

It's been quiet around GP lately.

How you doing Sandra!!? *hugs*

I've been having hives issues again, but these are different then the heat/sweat ones I had last summer. These look like bug bites, but we cant figure it out. So I saw dr today. She did blood stuff for regular panel and then is running an autoimmune panel. Then I see the allergist next Thursday, so I cant take any of my histamines until then, soooo that's gonna be fun. Sigh.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the situation. Other than that I'm functioning ok.
Hope your hives get better.

[Roscoe]

I've found myself to be too busy to get on much. It really cramped my style when they blocked this site on my work computer.    Work has been insane and shows no promise of letting up. Church- yeah, I'm insane there too.
I wonder if life will ever slow down just a bit for me?
 Fuzzy, even though I haven't said much you've been in my thoughts and prayers.

[MsJennJenn]

So parts of my blood panel are back and theres a part called "absolute neutrophils" thats related to immune system? And my numeber is like 1000 over what that normal range is.. So curious to see what the autoimmune panel says.

The one thats related to anemia is super high too. White blood is high.
and cholesterol is high but that's nothing new 

Guess we'll see what the autoimmune thing says.

That's the reason I never go to the doctor. They never have good news, like you need to eat more pizza or something.

[Lynx]

Speaking of pizza... Yesterday I tried a new pizza joint.

The owner is very not-South. And it ain't his accent that gives it away. His chit-chat game is abysmal. Here in the South you gotta be sociable.

I hope he picks up on that soon, because his pizza is great! I saw them slicing up bell peppers manually. He makes stromboli from scratch, pulls out the dough into a long string, flattens it, puts filling in, folds and bakes it. When I left they were slicing up tiny tomatoes.

He also makes rice balls. I had to ask what a rice ball is. Then I got three. Just a few minutes ago I ate the last one. Now I am happy because I am full, but sad because there are no more rice balls.

[MsJennJenn]

We make pizza at home. It's better than buying it these days lol

Walmart is working me to death so I've not had energy to be on here

[Roscoe]

Well, Hi.
Been running myself ragged. Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with Mini- our ladies in church had a Mother's Day Tea, and Sis Kim graciously agreed to be the speaker. Mini and I slipped off for a drive and dinner, both of which were much needed. Bless his heart, he has became my confidant and shoulder to cry on and I am so thankful for him.
Yesterday was service. I would say unremarkable, but any time I am privileged to be in the House of God and in His presence is something to celebrate and remember. No matter what the trial and storms that happen, I know Someone in control.
And in life- I thought my savings account was actually getting healthy and might allow for a nice reward- maybe a new toy, or a pleasant cruise for my wife and I.... just something to help us recharge. Ha!  The A/c unit has died, of course right before the forecasted heat wave, and the local companies are all booked out two weeks. . So not amused. So annoyed. Then, so thankful that I have the means to make it happen even if it does require some shuffling and "creative financing".
Spent yesterday evening at a hospital with a saint- got in at 1030 pm. Went back and picked him up at 3pm today...got him home, laid literally two boxes of tile, came in to put dinner on, and sat down...phone goes off. ANOTHER saint. "Bro Moses I'm in the Conway Hospital, blood pressure through the roof. Would you pray?" Yes. And if you need I'll head that way. Yes. He would like Pastor there. So, I got to go to two different hospitals for two different saints each 25 miles from my home in opposite directions today. I'm gonna wear out the truck.  
And in whining- I DON'T WANNA GO TO WORK TOMORROW!

[MsJennJenn]

I don't wanna go to work any day to be fair. lol I do not dream of corporate labor!! 

[Roscoe]

Well. Ac unit ordered. *sob* Stuck at work listening to an online droning class. It blows my mind that a job which required a bachleor's degree apparently does not think that its employees can read and thus make you listen to someone reading the slides word for word.
Having met some of my coworkers though....well, there might be a reason.
 But I'm still hacked at it.

[MsJennJenn]

Saw the allergist today. Did the skin prick test.

Only thing that flagged: Dust and "cockroach mix". Super.
I live in Oklahoma where the wind blows 349348 hours a day. lol 

[Roscoe]

Man this day dun got stuck in granny low. I am over ready to call it done.

[Backseat Radio]

Not much exciting happening in my world. Slept in this morning. Mowed the grass. Dad delivered potted Begonias for my birthday. Went to the spaghetti supper at church.

[Roscoe]

I contacted a semi local farm known for its corn. We are going to try a new fund raiser for the youth- selling fresh corn. I reserved 50 bags of 60-ish ears each, set a day to go get it (June 16) fresh...and put an add on fb. Whoa. I think we've taken preorders for around 30 bags already. I'm gonna be up to my ears in corn delivery , pun intended.
