We've had a busy morning already! Cat had a check-up for the sore she's had on her neck. She needed another shot and he (the vet) said she will probably need one every 2 weeks. But, he said it wasn't as bad as it had been so she didn't need to have the IV antibiotics, so we got to bring her home. We were just about home, turning the last corner when she started making a really funny noise and as we turned into the driveway, she threw up. She did that the last time she got a shot and then traveled, so apparently the shot plus the motion upsets her stomach. I just have to remember not to feed her before the next visit.

We've had a dull week. It was still beastly hot so we stayed in as much as possible. We got only a little relief from rain, unlike some areas that got several inches. It's much cooler today and is supposed to be pleasant all week-end.

I watched a couple of orientation presentation with McKenna for her virtual classes. She's doing the K12 home schooling this year and I'm one of her learning coaches. She's really going to have to apply herself and be disciplined. She's supposed to get her schedule next week and the classes start the 14th when regular school starts. Doesn't seem like it should be time for school again already!

We took both McKenna and Kiyann out for breakfast on Thursday for their birthdays. They share the same day, just 3 years apart. Kenna is now a teenager (or as she says, no longer a child) and Kiyann is 10 (finally made it to double digits). We took them shopping afterward for presents. Kenna just wanted a visa gift card and Kiyann is an easy shopper, makes her mind up quickly and doesn't need to look at everything first. I think she thinks about what she wants before we get there. Her party is this afternoon/evening. We're going for part of it, cake and ice cream and presents only. The kids are going to swim after that so we can come home then. Kenna had cake and ice cream with Bryan's family last night. There is too much turmoil there with the other grandkids so we didn't go, and Kenna is fine with that. She knows that the commotion is hard on Bill. So, our birthday breakfast makes up for that.

Bill sees the pulmonologist next week and I'm going to ask about an order for a portable concentrator so that we don't experience the problems we had the last couple of times we travelled. We don't have any plans to go anywhere until November when we have to go back to Florida, but if we want to take off for a week-end it will be so much easier, and easier on the hands.

That's about it for this time. Getting back to normal feels pretty good! I'll let you know how it goes with Dr. Burbeck!
