The Next Doctor Visit and More

This morning (Monday) Renea asked me to take her to Opelika Ford to pick up Kevin’s truck.  They worked on it while they were in Cancun.  When she came over she brought me a gift that they bought me in Mexico.  I love it.

We left here and it was raining just lightly but by the time we got to Hwy 51 it was a downpour so heavy I couldn’t see the front of the car.  Water was ponding on the road.  It was really scary.  She got Kevin’s truck and we headed for home.  We decided to come the long way because of the rain.  She stopped to run a few errands in Phenix City and I came on home.  Apparently, the worst of the rain was in Opelika.  We had some rain but nothing as bad. 
 

Later this afternoon I took pictures of my hydrangea plant and the chaste tree.  The butterflies are lovin’ the chaste tree.

Watched the NASCAR race this afternoon while getting a few things done inside.

 

Tuesday morning I got up bright and early and headed for the Speech and Hearing Center in Columbus.  I had my test which lasted two hours.  It was a tough one.  I wish they had told me to bring someone with me to drive me home.  I made it home okay, but I was dizzy and tired.  I made the mistake of trying to do some shopping on the way home.  I stopped at Barnes and Nobles.  I only bought a couple of books because I felt so bad.  I just couldn’t look around.  When I got home I ate a bowl and cereal and had a cup of tea.  I then laid down on the couch and took a two hour nap.  I still feel a little woozy.  If you are ever scheduled for a "dizziness" test be sure and take someone with you to drive you home.  In all honesty, I don't remember driving home except praying that I would make it safely.

 

Didn’t get much accomplished today.  I just couldn’t get my act together.  Ryan stopped in to see me.  He came over to Kevin and Renea’s to pick up one of the large dog crates.  His roommate (Steven) got a female german shepherd from the Animal Ark Rescue Center.  She is one year old and is full of energy.  They decided since her and Ashes needed to be “controlled” while they are in school and/or at work they should both be in crates.

 

Later in the evening Kevin and Renea stopped in to visit.  They wanted to check on me.  I am starting to feel a little better but will be going to bed early.

Good Morning y’all.  Today the septic tank guys came and cleaned out my septic tank.  We were worried that something may be clogged because areas of my grass were dying where the leech bed is located.  They said all is well.  It’s just the fact that since I live alone and not much water runs through the tank, and it has been so hot, this is normal.  I sure hope they are right.

 

According to the weather folks we could be setting high temperature records this week.  I guess I will be staying inside a lot.
