This has been my seventh stay-at-home day. I did send an email to the Captain and Sergeant at the Detention Center to see if they have any needs and to see how their stamps are holding up. I haven’t heard back from them yet but am expecting to tomorrow.

Still haven’t heard results from the heart stress test. This is day eight. Uhm……. Wonder what is up with the delay? I certainly trust this isn’t normal but these days I actually wouldn’t be too surprised if it was.

I am feeling better today than I have for a bit. No rises in blood pressure and no drops either. Maybe I am finally on the other side of this roller coaster ride I have been on.

We had a thunderstorm during the night. The thunder was loud enough to wake the dead. Man did it crack. I love hearing thunder but when it cracks really loud and shakes my bones it crosses a line. Not sure how much rain we got but the spot in the yard that only shows up if we get more than an inch was full of water this morning. Forecast shows highs in the low 70’s for the next 10 days. Unusually cool days for September. Wonder if we will have one more hint of summer before winter comes.

Tomorrow I am getting out! I am going to Council Grove to a friend’s house for a happy hour. Afterwards I will go to the grocery store in CC and pick a few things up. Not sure I am ready to get out yet but I really can’t stay home forever. Thursday I have a dental cleaning at the Vo-Tech. Kathy went today and said the technician she had today was the best one she has ever had. I have the same one Thursday so crossing my fingers it will go rather quickly and easily.

It sure feels better to feel better. I didn’t realize how far down the rabbit hole I had fallen. Still thinking this all started from the steroid cream I was usually. My body has rare reactions to medications.

Kathy got a small check from the life insurance company. Better than nothing I guess. Not surprising they refunded her on the smaller of the two policies and refused on the larger one. Just grateful we discovered them and got a stop to them.

I’ll be happy when it dries up a bit and the dogs can go back outside. They leave dog fur all over my rug in the living room. No use vacuuming it as it will be covered with dog fur by morning again.

Grateful to be feeling better, grateful for the rain last night, and grateful to breaking my time-out tomorrow.
