Bloggle
Haven't done a bloggle for a while.
Mrs. Tek has been having twinges for a couple of weeks and she was thinking kidney stone. Last night was the night. We went to the emergency room about 9:15 and got home about 1:30. She does have kidney stone, two in fact. Today she had to work because she had to sign time sheets so she slogged through it. Tonight she's a bit out of it and nauseous from the stones and all the meds. I'm glad I've never had one of those. One of them is in the tube and is 6mm (about 1/4") in diameter. She's been told she should be able to pass it, but ouch! Saying that, she has yet to take a pain pill since the emergency room visit. She has an appointment Tuesday with a Urologist.
In case none of you have noticed, it's gone from cool/warm and lots of rain to very, very hot and humid. 110 degree heat index today. During all this I keep trying to get yard work done and I'm not. I don't like to put down grass seed or trim limbs when the yard is all mud.
I did get my first area covered with seed and Curlex Wednesday. I started out again Thursday morning and turned around and came right back inside. Man it was nasty out there! If it will cool down 10 degrees I'll be out back trimming the next large limb off the ash tree and get grass seed and Curlex put down.
We were going to attempt putting the awning back up this weekend, but with Mrs. Tek in the dumps it will wait. It's too big and heavy to do myself. Sunsetters are nice, but not easy to install.
They just had a news story about people not traveling over the holiday weekend. Well, duh!
Everyone have a great weekend!!!!!
