I noticed when I signed in this morning that I have done 98 posts.  Wow...

I feel like my posts are probably a bit boring right now.  Not much is happening but believe me that is a good thing.  I put our prescriptions  in these plastic "day minders" every Saturday for the coming week.  It seems like I just get them filled and it is time to fill them again.  In my mind it is a way to mark time and it just goes by in a flash.  Is that good or bad?

Cowboy continues to be in a pretty good humor and he tries to do some things for himself.  He is very inconsistent about it.  One meal he will carry his plate back to the kitchen and the next time he won't.  Sometimes he will shave but mostly he doesn't.  Some days he puts out the flag and some days he doesn't.  These are all things that used to happen consistently.

I had my day out yesterday and went to the neighborhood coffee the ladies have every month.  I had another friend offer to come over and sit with Cowboy.  I am going to take them up on it when it is time to prepare for our January concert.  That will mean getting to practice very Saturday morning.  I have had 4 very lovely friends offer to help.

Ran into a friend while I was getting some lunch and she went with me to browse a bit in Pier One and Kohls.  Marsha is still sick and the service sent a lady named Kay.  She seems nice but didn't do much except change the bed.  I am still bathing Cowboy every other night before bed and slathering lotion on him.  I think hs is more comfortable and is not scratching quite as much.

Heard from the dermatologist and our appointment is not until October.  Haven't heard a word from VA.  Time to follow up on that.

I am enjoying the updates we just finished on the house and  Cowboy even commented on the new carpet.  He said he liked it.
