Today I learned about...

SHINGLES!!! Google that under images for your Gross-Out of the Day.

My leg sprouted a slight rash last Friday so I put some tea-tree oil on it. By Sunday I knew it needed a doctor's attention but didn't stop by there until yesterday. He couldn't see me until this morning... and as suspected it is shingles. Those 28 little compartments in my pill-organizer are getting pretty crowded!

July 4th was a blast,
Thank You L & J All of those ooooh's and aaaaaaah's from the kids for every single fireworks blast were priceless. The food was delicious too.

Other fun stuff we've done lately: playdates at the park, alpaca day at the library, many many birthday parties, downtown carnival rides, and watching K rototill the backyard. It's so strange to look out back and not see the wood-scraps and fence-scraps poking out from stands of overgrown weeds of every invasive species... There's a flat yard of just dirt. We still have the vacant chicken coop and the little barren garden plots, but having the weed-forest disappear will surely score us some points at the upcoming homeowners' association meeting. hooray

Not much else is new around here. K's gone again for a couple of days. I don't have any more appointments until August I think, unless some other opportunistic infection comes along.

Gotta go. I've been staying up WAY too late these days...
