Sunday's Lake Outing

Hey there, 

 Let's take a walk

while we visit.

First of all,

I owe you all  some heartfelt thanks

  for the words of encouragement

left here on my blog, through e-mail,

and phone calls. You've made

me cry, but in a good way you know.

I appreciate you  ~ thanks. 

  

Today ~ Monday

just couldn't come fast enough.

I had surgery last Monday to

remove some skin cancer from my

forehead.  I've been bandaged for

two weeks now. First for the biopsy

and then the surgery and wouldn't you know

it.  I'm now allergic to Polysporin which  I have

been applying zealously for each bandage change. 

I've used this product for the ten or so years

that I've been seeing my dermatologist here...

and now I'm allergic. I've created quite the

itchy red mess on my forehead.  

This morning, I just couldn't apply

anymore because something was certainly

wrong and that ointment just wasn't helping at all.

To top it all off,

the doctor tells me that he didn't get

all of the cancer.

Oh shoot.  But it's only a few errant cells.

OK... we'll take care of it, and in the meantime

I'm stitch and bandage free and boy is that nice.

Now to get rid of the ugly red rash

 from the ointment

and the left behind cancer of course.

We could really use some rain.

The lake is still down about 55 feet or so.

I'm tempted to go back and get

this rusty piece of lake debris.

I think the cleat would make a good hook

for some rope or something in the garage

or down at the barn. Perhaps even a plant

hanger for a post on the deck... hmmm.

 Oh and when I say

I should go back for it I actually mean Rick

should... cause he's the one who would

carry it down the hill, onto the boat,

and back up another hill to the car.

He's always asking if I have a mouse in my

pocket when I say 'we' should do something.

Sweetheart, 'we' should go back for that cleat.

I tell you, he loves my ideas.

He also reads this blog.

This morning I was all set to

e-file our Fed taxes but I was thwarted.

  I keep getting an error after

being re-directed from a link

that has "IRS pin site closed"

as part of it's www. redirect address.

Well Phooey. 

 

  

Our lovely state charges $20 bucks to e-file.

Well phooey on them as well. 

They'll get a paper copy

with their payment

 as close to the due date

as I can possibly get it.

Let's see what else is there...

Oh, I have purchased two

Christmas presents already.

Yep I have!   

  I'm shopping

year round this year...

starting with some garden

items that are showing up

in the stores now.

 I'll finish with two three things I absolutely

think you should know:

1.  Use sunscreen.

2.  There's absolutely no reason to

look at the bath gel bottle

 while snapping it's lid shut. 

3.  Bath gel in the eye isn't any fun.

Take care, see you soon!
