My cold/flu/sinus/whatever moved from my head to my chest Thursday night.

From my bout with walking pneumonia in December I knew I needed to get into the Doctor. It cost me a Coke Classic, but Christy got me in!

I saw the PA and got two shots and three scripts, so I am feeling pretty "cheeky" and a $100 lighter for the meds.

Antibodies, steroids, and cough syrup. Add the cost of the office call and I want a money back guarantee!

From the steroids in December I had gained 11 pounds. Yesterday I had lost 14. Then they gave me more steroids. So what you see won't be the real me! Ha! I am chemically altered!

My medical advice today was meds along with citrus. I may go and have a couple of magarita's. That would qualify for citrus wouldn't it?

My man Bill and I didn't get much scrapping done yesterday. The little wild man truck driver had an issue, I sent him to the shop and they diagnosed it. Could have been a quick fix for about 1200 to 1600 dollars there, but I am trying to be smart and use pieces from the wrecked truck. We removed the air compressor from it and drove to Abilene to swap them out By the time I carried Bill back to Roscoe and then returned to Abilene, I barely made it to the pharmacy in time to pick up my meds. Got home after nine-thirty.

Drove through some rain, which was enjoyable. I have had reports that it poured in Roscoe later in the night, but I have heard no amounts today. I am hopeful, but not holding my breath! Three to four inches would get us up in pretty good shape. From what my man told me I figure an inch at best.

When I went to bed we had no power at our house. I had plugged my phone in and I guess with no power it may have back fed, because my phone turned off.

My little wild man driver had an issue about 4:00 this morning, but got it handled. It was nothing Bill and I had done. Thankfully! The driver did a double Abilene to Lubbock last night.

This has been the toughest week since we lost Pepa. Not a lot of people around and that seems to amplify his absence. It is easy to bluff yourself that he is just in the bathroom.

Bub is in Florida, but forgot his speedo. I sure hope he isn't skinny dipping or they may have to drain the ocean!

My scrapping operation has gone pretty well. Not very productive yesterday, but we have a couple of loads almost ready to go. Next week should be good.

I need to spend a day on the spray coupe. The wheat fallow is really green with volunteer wheat. I am so disappointed with the job Pepa's custom harvesters did last year. They rode a lot of grain over. They were pretty new to the business and I think they did not know how to set their machines and they tried to run too fast. They won't be on top of my list for this year, even though we have just a few acres of wheat.

Not much on my plate today. A long hot soaking bath, and a little NCAA Basketball. Primarily trying to feel better!

BTW, I had a perfect West bracket, a single game wrong in the East, and a single game wrong in the Southeast. But the Southwest bracket ate my sack lunch. Five wrong! There goes my Million dollars! I will do my second chance bracket in four or five days!

Have a day! Put two together and we'll call it a weekend!

FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR blessing of rain. We don't want to be greedy but we would take more. Let's stop short of that Noah flood though. We continue to ask that YOU heal our hearts. Help us to make good decisions. Thank YOU for providing for us. We will glorify and praise YOUR name!
