"I fool myself, in a good way, into dodging the pressure. I tell myself that I'm not trying to write a scene, I'm just making some notes for the day . . ." - Marsha Norman

I do not know if it is the warm temperature or I am tired out by the last two days of being busy, but I feel drained and have no desire to write and hence the quote for today.

I just checked the local news site and they say our temperature at 2 p.m. is 88 degrees. Yee-haa!

Today begins the taking of my water pill. I don't know what to expect except Coleen told me that I would be going to the bathroom frequently which was why to take it in the morning and not before I go to bed. I don't know how much more I can go to the bathroom though. With all the water I drink during the day I'm in the ladies room with what seems like all day. As long as the medication helps bring back my ankles and I can fit into my shoes I will be happy.

I did walk yesterday. Instead of taking the Bush-Ferrell route, I walked up LOVR to pharmacy to get my prescription. I took a side route and walked through the nursery which was fun. I found some pots I would like to get but they are very expensive. I may have to get the plastic terra cotta pots from Rite Aid. The other annoying thing about the nursery was I saw one man who told me the nursery would be closing at 5 p.m. When I went to find him to ask questions about a pot for my calla lily and ideas for a bird bath, he was no where to be found. I went into all of the little out buildings they have but he was gone from sight.

Oh well, it was fun to look.

So, my walk took me about 30 minutes to walk. Even at 4:30 p.m. it was still quite warm and I had walked up a glistening. I was glad to get back home.

Today the humming birds are singing up a storm this morning. I cannot see them in the bush but they sound happy. I need to go out and change out the bird bath water today. I also want to gaze at my one calla lily flower. I can hardly believe it, I have a bloom and from a potted plant. I checked the moisture of the earth last night and it is fine for now. My other plants that are in the garden have good green leaves but there are no blossoms on them. I wonder why this plant. I will not question it and just enjoy the bloom for as long as it lasts.

My spot on my arm is still raised and red. I did put some bag balm on it last night. While we were finishing up errands yesterday, the spot began to feel itchy and uncomfortable. Michael says this is normal. I will apply bag balm to it today. I wonder if the bag balm will keep it from scarring.

I guess I feel blah today.
