Good morning. After a pair of days that saw rain, rain, rain, and more rain, it may not rain again until tomorrow. How can we endure 24 hours of dry skies? /sarcasm The dogs aren't big fans of the rain, either. I've got them to run for the cover of the trees. It isn't an umbrella, but it will...

Happy Mother's Day!
It's unusually quiet here in da 'hood this morning. On a typical morning, the mix of voices, engines running, and various dogs barking is a cacophony that makes the area feel alive. This morning, the total absence of such things creates an eerie atmosphere. I think even the dogs noticed it. They... Sign in to see full entry.

Scared Pup W/ Picture!
It was a quiet night in our home last night. As I had figured, the storm that was supposed to hit us at any time yesterday completely missed us. Its tail, however, sure got us after two in the morning. One of the dogs woke me up because of the heavy thunder, and it wanted to be under the covers next... Sign in to see full entry.

If it weren't for interruptions, I'd accomplish about ten times more stuff, ya know? Once people realized that I'm up and writing around 8:30 or so every day, they would call because they "know I'm around." Between the time I posted another chapter in my latest story and now, 90 minutes had passed.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not feeling the best today... nothing weird... just too many interruptions throughout the night and three straight nights of insufficient sleep due to various reasons. We have been on the road so much, getting nearly daily treatments for Lisa's burn (which seems to be healing nicely) and an... Sign in to see full entry.

Back Again... Things Are Better
The lab work showed her white count was twice normal, but with a burn like this one, that is to be expected. They did two IVs again with different meds in them to help fight off the infection. We need to return tomorrow for a new blood test. Lisa says she is feeling better, so that's a start! Thank... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. Lisa began running a fever last night at about two in the morning, and her wound suddenly looks inflamed. I called the specialist's office and they want us to get up ASAP. I'm ready, and she will be in a minute. I'll let you know as soon as I know. We should be at her office about... Sign in to see full entry.

Tis The Season - Making Plans For Future Storms
Good morning. It was chilly again last night, especially with the heavy humidity this morning. Lisa's burns are healing. The biggest one has an odd look to it, but the specialist says it should look better in the next ten days. They gave her another IV of Normal Saline with a cocktail of antibiotics...

A Bit of This, A Little of That... & There's My Post
It got 'cold' here last night. Well, it got what I call "Florida cold," with temps falling to ~48 last night. In Michigan this time of year, that would be typical. In Florida, that's cold! Besides several visits to see Lisa's burn doctor, this looks like a quiet week. I think a quiet spell would be... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday For Real Post - You Want Me To Tell You WHAT?
It's been a wonderful Sunday morning. Our typical 30-45 minutes to an hour sitting outside became a nearly two-hour event, and it was worth every minute of it. We watched the dogs play, running back and forth, like they were fearsome creatures, and anyone who interfered with their play would cause... Sign in to see full entry.
