I have been a bad girl this past week.  Didn't realize had been so long since I posted.  Last week was a "bear".

Monday, rehearsal and Bunco.  Tuesday AM, neighborhood social committee planning meeting, PM Emergency Management meeting, followed by task force meeting with deliverables to work on.  Wednesday,  got house cleaned and then went to see Cowboy followed by a status meeting with staff at the home.  Thursday, 2 Dr. appointments.  Got cleared as done on eyes which is great, met with new dermatologist about rash and he prescribed a new prescription regimen.  Pharmacy out and had to order.  After two trips finally got medicine.  Friday, got a haircut (she cut way too short this time !) and neighborhood luncheon followed by resting up for evening of performing for a neighborhood party.  The party went well and we ate there.  Home before 9.

I really am working on cutting down on my commitments and having more time to just chill.

On Saturday I went to rehearsal with the dulcimers.  We are working on the program for the VA home on the 28th of this month.  Sunday, went to see Cowboy and then on  to see a new great grandchild in Dallas. Her name is Avri Dior and she weighed 7 lbs 15 oz at birth.  Everyone is fine.  My great grandaughter in law's Mom and Aunt were there so she has plenty of help for the moment.   Lovely visit, terrible traffic going up and coming back on Monday.  Rain, rain, rain.....

Today I went back to see Cowboy and took some replacement flowers which we planted.  I told those folks that I am done.  Either these take hold or we just give up and get some professional help.  Don't get why we are not having more success.

Cowboy was in a really good place today.  We went outside and walked around and then I went and got the flowers from the car and we planted them and "dead-headed" the flowers that we hope will make it through.  May be the excessive heat.  Learned today from the news that we had the highest temperature in the nation yesterday at 93 degrees.  No wonder they are wilting.  Cowboy seemed to enjoy himself but the knats were terrible and we didn't stay out long.  The humidity is about 80 percent and it is warm today as well.  A front coming in tonight that is supposed to bring in more rain and cooler temps.  Was supposed to have a support group meeting this evening but cancelled due to weather.  Wasn't unhappy about that.  Ready to come home.

When we went back in, we watched part of an old Doris Day movie and then he wanted to go to his room.  He laid down on the bed for a nap so I headed home.

I spent some time on the patio this afternoon after I got home.    It is cooler and the new pergola is really nice.  I moved all of my plants under the patio roof in hopes they will survive this crazy weather.

I may just sleep in tomorrow and listen to the rain come down.  I am feeling melancholy, tired and out of sorts.
