Lousy evening...been feeling bad all week, so I went to the doc today. There a new guy in the practice, and I got to see him, as my regular doc was busy. He actually turned out to be a pretty cool guy and we came to a meeting of the minds on treatment. I got stuck in the butt with a steroid shot for the allergies and a load of amoxicillin for the sinus infection. Off to the pharmacy...after 20 minutes, mis-quoted price and my complete rejection of a 90 minute wait, off to another pharmacy.

Got meds, got home. Home made soup for dinner, the the lousy started. Heard a really loud noise outside my bedroom window. I got to the front door only to see that a very large branch from a live oak tree in my front yard fell on my neighbor's Tahoe. Another neighbor brought over a chain saw, and we were able to get the truck un-buried. Luckily, there was minimal damage...missed the windshield, but there's a dent in the roof. We'll check it out in the light of day tomorrow. Now I'm exhausted from hauling limbs in the cold. I did notice that if not for the truck, I may not have electricity. Unfortunately, there are other limbs in jeopardy that are right over the lines. Hope I have power for the rest of the night. Pray for us...
