June 2018

School's out!  It's that time of year when I'm fighting for computer time, craft fairs are in full swing, and the spouse may or may not follow through on his plans, depending on the heat.  One thing is certain this year:  No Extra Kids!

Mr. Energy will be in summer school, and Miss Drama Queen is 8 months pregnant, due July 16th.  ME might be down for a week or two in July, but that's pending.

I was hoping my sister and her family would be able to come down, but with the craziness that landed in her lap last month, she forgot to renew her passport, and is in the process to do that.  She's also nearly finished with her Canadian Permanent Residence card, but in the meantime, she can only travel in Canada.

So How Did I Do Last Month???

Health:
Aside from putting back on the 3 pounds I lost, doing well.  Right ankle still acting up at times, suck as the entire day at the track.  Wasn't able to get MRI; my insurance would only pay if I'd been injured in an accident.  Hip no longer in pain, but still have it in the right thigh.
