Wow! Give a guy a break and he tries to give it back! This time of year my days run together. I actually have to check to see if it is Monday or Saturday. Throw in a little variance from the schedule and I can really get messed up! When I awoke this morning I was thinking "Sunday" (because Krl was home yesterday). Finally about four-thirty I realized it was only Saturday. (I was fixing to be really, really early to early service). I went back to bed about five, basking in the realization that I have two more days this weekend after today! This is my buy two Mondays get the next Monday off Monday!

Yesterday Krl began her day at the doctor's office. Early in the week they had changed her blood pressure meds and afterward she really felt good. After a couple of days she started having little spells of dizziness and hot flashes. She had her blood pressure checked and it was out of control. The nurses insisted that she see the Doctor. After her meds, her readings were 170/110. The Doctor questioned her about diet and exercise, even discussed workplace stress. Finally he changed her meds again and kept her there until her blood pressure started down, then he sent her home to rest and relax. Hopefully her new med levels will be where they need to be by Tuesday morning.

Today has been designated shrub day by the powers that be in this house. Every other day that has been designated such has seen it rain. I can't believe the difference between City of Abilene water and God's rain! The lawn, the shrubs and even the weeds jump at God's bidding! Our lawn computer has been off so much this summer I just go by and reset it in order to re-familiarize myself with the process.

Kat is coming over today. She called her Meme yesterday when she got home from school and informed us that she could spend the night and that she is off Monday. I think she wants to get one last swim in before Meme closes the pool for the winter. Addie has other grandparents in so we won't tempt her. I think that this pending visit could be really good for Meme's blood pressure!

FATHER thank YOU for long weekends! One of the small gifts! I pray that this weekend be blessed! I continue to ask YOUR healing for Rene', Carol, Michelle, and Aimee. I ask that YOU continue to bless and comfort them. FATHER I ask that YOU bring Krl's blood pressure under control. Calm her, sooth her, comfort her, direct her doctor. FATHER I continue to pray for our Church family's needs. Bless them and fill them. May Kat's visit be blessed. YOU reign supreme!
