Good morning!

Collin is sick. We are hoping a cold, and not anything more severe. He came home early yesterday, and likely won't go in today. He has only worked two days and now sick. One of the guys that he was training with was also sick yesterday. It had better not be COVID.

My shoulder is still hurting me, and I'm not sure what to do about it yet.

Frankie has a big swollen knot on her right ear (the flappy part). I don't know if she was stung or what. I didn't see signs of a tick, but I'll look closer today. She has been getting flea & tick meds monthly. She does not seem to be in pain with it.

I am taking Connie to an appointment early this afternoon. Connie is getting some pelvic floor PT for some "woman" issues. This PT is needed to hopefully avoid something more serious like a hysterectomy. Next Tuesday is her upper and lower scopes. We hope that gets some more insight into her IBS symptoms.

We are all falling apart here.

We could have storms today, and for sure are expecting rain this weekend. We really need the rain. Kansas City has only had a trace of rain this month, and we are down over seven inches since the 5th of July.

My hot tub has been sitting in the basement unused for several months, taking up valuable real estate. I leveled a space under our raised deck, and moved the hot tub under there. I got it set up and filled yesterday. I still want to put up some lattice screening, and I have a little more cleanup under there to make it nicer. I'm hoping that the hot tub will help me this fall/winter with my arthritis and shoulder.

Sam, praying for your shoulder, and Bill, praying for strength and patience during your move. Bob, you have not talked about your eye and vision lately, but including that healing in prayer as well. Settling an estate is no fun. Dave, including you in prayer for strength through that transition and process.

Have a great day!
