I had forgotten to put my bite guard in last night, and I bite a hunk out of my cheek during a dream. When I woke up, Buddy decided to jump off the bed and dug two of his back claws into my calf when he launched himself. My eye is still very irritated and all the goop and drops I have to put in it, get on my eye lashes and thus my glasses and everything is blurry. My back hurt, I have a pain running from my right index finger down to my wrist and my right thumb joint was screaming, plus, I had a headache.
A couple of hours later, I sat down and watched the Weather Channel and thought, what a whiny, unappreciative woman I am! What those people are going through is unimaginable! This flood is of Biblical proportions and here I am, having a pity party because I don't feel good! I am so sorry!

The guys came back to work some more on the driveway. I sat on the porch, in my rocker and watched.
Can you believe, there are still some small bees in the lower, right corner?
This guy is drilling the holes in the cement slab that is already there to put re-bar into,
so that the 2 slabs will be as one, and one won't
so that the 2 slabs will be as one, and one won't
heave up higher than the other and crack.
This guy is leveling and smoothing out the ground.
Trimming up the end of the driveway here. I hope my neighbor's don't mind all the dust headed toward their open windows.
They think they will put in the mesh and pour the cement tomorrow afternoon, although it is supposed to rain and I don't think they pour cement when it is raining.
Then it has to cure for 7 days before I can use it. So---maybe by September 6th, I won't have to tote my groceries so far?

Today is Karen and Mark's 36th anniversary. I think their daughter said it best.
"The most hardworking people I know- working for our family, for each other, for God, for 36 years!!! Thank you for showing us how love conquers all, every day. Happy anniversary mum and pops, I love you!"
She's right. They have the most wonderful marriage and family I have ever known, and the cutest babies and nicest adult children.
