Been Watching For Funnels ...........

There were tornado warnings out for the counties north and west of me this afternoon. It sounds like some weak funnels touched down about 30 miles to the west but all the warnings have now expired. It's still quite dark out and we've had off and on rain all day. Oh well, the flowers will flourish and the grass will grow.

This week has been much better for me. The new pump in the septic system seems to be working out good, at least for now. I hope it solves the problem. My medical tests all turned out pretty good. What they removed from my nose came back benign. My cholesterol has actually gone down since last time. The bone density scan turned out normal. The big problem is still the weight and the blood pressure and I'm going to be working on that.

When I went to visit my dad this week he seemed to be much better. I'm thinking that they might be cutting back on the pain medication. Anyway, he was able to carry on a conversation. It was a very good visit.

I spent time this week working on the yard. Saturday ds & I dismantled the old swing set that all the kids played on. Makes it a lot easier to mow now that I don't have to maneuver around that. I think I've finished with all of the flower planting for now. I still have to work on the one new flower bed. I have to have ds help me break up the bricks so that I can place them around the bed. There are some tree roots in the way that I have to work around. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I'd have been better to choose a different place for it.

ds' gf is making dinner for us tonight, so I'm not allowed in the kitchen. She's making pepper steak and it smells oh so good. She made it one other time and it was very tasty.

The coming week should be a rather leasurely one. I only have to work two days and I don't have any appointments scheduled. So, hopefully I'll e able to spend some time here and on my house and yard.

Hope you all had a good weekend and I want to wish you a great week. Take care..... kaci

All in all, sounds like you have a lot of good news. Enjoy your dinner!! Glad those funnel cloud warnings are over, so you can rest easy. My bone density was not so good, neither was my cholesterol, I'm just falling apart...LOL. Take care dear kaci, gabby

Kaci, I'm glad things are rosier for you this week, you had more than enough problems to deal with last week! Be careful with that weather, we're so wet here in Ohio I don't think we'll ever dry out!!

Take care and enjoy your nice peaceful week!

Hugs, Pam

Sounds like things are going pretty well for you, Kaci. I keep forgetting that you can get tornadoes in that area. My dad had some stories about one year when 15-20 tornadoes went through their little town in southern IL one week-end. Demolished it.

Enjoy this week while you can.

Hope no funnel clouds were sighted Kaci. And it is good to hear positive medical reports, isn't it? Sounds like you have your goals set to achieve more of the same. Have a relaxing week. Hugs
