My energy level today is the same as yesterday and Cheri was also tired. I didn’t think it would be a good idea for me to be out for church and Sunday school. So we passed and watched a streaming of Dr. Larry Ollison which was excellent. There wasn’t any NASCAR racing today which usually takes up a lot of the day. But I had recorded the Green Bay Packers preseason game. What a big disappointment that was. The Packers did everything wrong that they could. Good thing it was a preseason game, guess that why they have them to work out problems and try different things. Right now they don’t look like a team that is going to go very far. Cheri continued to work in her sewing room today. I also worked on the kitchen cabinet list and double checked to make sure I have everything correct as tomorrow I am going to place the order. We didn’t see any rain today until around 5:00 pm. It was still raining some when we went to bed. I just checked the rain gauge and we received ¾ inch.

My night wasn’t the best so this morning my energy level was much less than yesterday. Cheri didn’t have a very good night either. So we were both running at about half speed. I powered up and turned on the water to the water heater this morning and when we were done with our showers I shut everything down again. I will have to do this one more time and then someone will be here to change it out for a new one, anyway that is what is supposed to happen but we have found here in Florida appointments don’t mean a lot. About half the time people don’t show up when they say they will and don’t even call to let you know when or why. I was only out of the house long enough to get the mail and water the flowers of course a half hour after I watered them it rained. Cheri spent most of the day in the sewing room and is coming along nicely on her quilt project. I did work on the kitchen cabinets and once again made some changes, need to get them ordered before I change something else.

It is one day closer to being back to good health which Cheri and me are ready for. Cheri was a busy girl this morning doing laundry and making beds with nice fresh sheets and all the dusting. She does so much and a lot of it is things that I don’t know about. I felt like I had a little more energy this morning so I headed out to trim the seed pods out of our neighbors palm trees. I was only out about an hour and a half but came in soak and wet with sweat. After I got cleaned up again and started thinking about the kitchen cabinets and may have another design change. I really have to work on Cheri as she would lose some space in her bedroom closet. I know it is not a good thing to mess with a woman’s closet space because they never have enough. Later this afternoon we decided we needed to get out of the house for bit so we went over to Larry and Denise’s and put in some new damp-rids. Then we went to fill up the car with gas and the station that we usually go to was out of gas do to the $2.19 gas. So we headed for Wal-Mart for our gas because I can get a five cent discount there. On the way Pam called to see how we were doing, long story short we ended up meeting them at Scot Land Yard for a Friday night fish fry. We got home around 6:00 pm and was nice to get out of the house for a while.

I had a much better night’s sleep as I was able to fall asleep right away and makes for a little more energy today. Cheri not so much as she got up with a headache. Although she did her house work and spent the rest of the morning in the kitchen making lasagna. She made two pans of it so we could have one today and freeze the other one. She has change the recipe over the years so it is her own personal recipe and it is the best. Just being in the kitchen when it is baking is a treat with the entire aroma coming from the oven. I felt like I needed to get out and go over to the neighbor’s to trim their palm trees but by the time I was ready it started to rain so I went out in the shop and put away some tools that I had out and cleaned the motorcycle headlight assembly which I had out to rewire the GPS. We also found out that we have a leak coming from the hot water heater. We had bought a home insurance policy mainly for the heat pump but covered many other things and the hot water heater is one of them. I called the insurance company and within half hour we got a call from the plumber, bad news is he can’t come until next Monday. So I turned the water off to the heater and also the electric. I will turn it on early in the morning so we can have our showers, do the laundry, and run the dish washer. We didn’t get a lot of rain but was a nice genital rain that last a good part of the day.

I put in a terrible night couldn’t fall asleep and when I did wake up I was all sweaty, so it was a very long night and got up exhausted. Cheri on the other hand had one of the best night’s sleeps she has had in a long time. I looked up on line to see what the side effects to the antibiotic I am taking. I found out that some of them that are affecting me are loss of appetite, nausea, dizziness, ringing in ears (this is not new but much worse now), tiredness, sleep problems, and insomnia. And to think this antibiotic is going to make me well. Other than that I am in great shape. Cheri continues to work in her sewing room on her latest project. All I did update our list of appointments. This afternoon I took Cheri to the fabric shop here in Zephyrhills for some fabric spray. We also made a stop to run the car through the car wash ($3.00 on Wednesdays). Then the last stop was the grocery store. When we got home I watered the flowers and that was our day.
