I hate those back to back doctor visits. I recently declared, no more than two doctors per week from now on. I get crazy!

Ray only watches Discovery, NatGeo and all those kinds of channels. Then we both sit down with a DVD from the library most nights after dinner. I am so glad he doesn't watch the really mindless shows, I tell myself it's almost like high school AV days or going on an "armchair" journey. Doesn't seem to be hurting him.

scarey --- in my condo we dont have a basement or storm shelter.... if we have enough notice we can go to aprils, but this has been on my head as well... i guess inside closet will have to do.... take it easy with the doc appts man they can wear a person out...

Tornado warnings really scare me now. We have a great basement space that's completely protected but no way Lauren can get there. We have just tried to find the most protected space on the main floor and pad it, hope for the best. Keep the meds in a nearby closet.

"Doctors appts from one end to the other"--LOL! That's our life! We also have increasing issues with choking. I don't like it at all. Another big fear of mine. Thankfully, the ambulance is nearby so response time is fast. I haven't had to call them for Lauren's choking yet but have been heading to the phone several times when he finally cleared his airway.

Our weather this weekend is wonderful for sitting out on the deck. I'm all over that. Gives my spirits a boost. Still a bit chilly for Lauren, though. He is very sensitive to cold right now and doesn't like it outside unless it's 80 degrees with no breeze. Hope you get some outside time together this weekend. ~~Donna

Julie: just praying your tornado season will not be as difficult as it has been last two years. How you and Larry do it is beyond me. I think we have had two in Connecticut in my lifetime, one Bruce was driving home from work. Guess we all do bet with what we have weather-wise regularly, like blizzards! LOL.

Go easy. Deal with one problem at a time and take the time to sort out what results are and what options are offered. Let us know. Debbie

Julie,

You said, "Why can't we just have nice warm weather?" Well it may just be that you are not in Hawaii or some Island where the sun shines until late evenings like any place with sandy beaches and sunshine. But if we were that lucky we probably couldn't pay the bill to keep us cool? I thought about that same thing here in central Texas but so far we had like you a mixture of weather conditions every week.

But what the heck we'll take what we get and do our best to enjoy the days. Larry like me will enjoy just seeing another day if we get outside or not. Some days I don't get any farther than my garage with the little puppy on her leash right beside me. She won't complain at all inside or outside!

I hope he is better today and back to normal. I got eye surgery on the 18th with preop and prep tomorrow until.

Julie,

THose tornadoes are too scary. Those doctor's visit are not fun either. Take care. I do hope that the weather gets better for you.

Ruth

continued prayer for safety
