So, this week has been really weird. School started Monday. Gunner missed Tuesday and today because of Ms. Fay - school was cancelled. You know, growing up we longed for snow days from school in the midst of winter. But cancelling at the beginning is just weird. I understand why, but it's like tomorrow will be the first day AGAIN.
Anyway, Jeff was off work on Tuesday (FAY), so he kept the boys while I went to chemo. I called first thing to see if I could come earlier than scheduled because I didn't want to get caught out in the midday storms from Ms. Fay. It was nice to go earlier, but I was there forever. They had trouble drawing blood from my port, then the lab was running behind, then the pharmacy was behind. At least I had my computer and the TV to catch up on the Olympics. I left at 8:10 and got home about 12:40; my appt. was at 9 am. I expected to be home around11:30. Oh well, at least I didn't have to reschedule for a different day and throw off my week. I'm just thinking if I'd gone at my regular time of 11:30, I may not have gotten home until about 4!
I know I shouldn't be complaining. Shame on me.
So far, we are safe from Ms. Fay. Tonight we are actually having wind and rain. All we've really had so far is just rain where we live and not the record rainfall some places are having. I just want to see the sun again. For the past 10 years, we have lived in places with drought conditions. We prayed for rain and now it seems it's coming and coming. We have had a lot of rain this summer and with this tropical storm, the aquifers are actually getting replenished. I think I like rain better than fires. I've never been thru a flood or a direct fire, but at least rain smells better than fires! I just wonder when it quits raining if things will start to smell soured?
On a sad note, my friend Kathy in Montana lost her mother this week. Please keep her family in prayers. I met Lauretta while we lived there and she was just a beautiful Christian woman. She had a long beautiful life and we know that she is in the arms of Jesus now.
May you all have a wonderful week.
