I didn’t go to see hubby in rehab. This was mainly due to new soap I used in the shower that have given me a good case of hives. I have been on chlortabs and Benadryl for most of the day, so driving certainly not a good idea. In a sense, I should have known better since the new soap contained 10% sulfur and as you know I am totally allergic to sulfites. “But for the small amount of sulfur I thought it would be safe. Guess not. Then I also ate something that was a no no, so the end result was double trouble. Thank goodness for sinus meds as well. I am just now beginning to feel somewhat human again.

Tomorrow. as you know is garbage pickup and recycle. I do not have enough for recycle, but garbage, plenty and it will go out in the AM. I never know what time pickup will be. Sometimes they come as early as 6 am and others after 2 pm. The alarm is set, so I will be ready and if they come sooner rather than later, Monday is not that far away.

Tomorrow I will wend my way to Costco and Loews. I need some succulent soil and some plants for the back and possibly the front of our home. I also may be uprooting a favorite hibiscus bush because there is a tree growing not far from the roots. In order to get that tree out, they have to remove the hibiscus. Now, that brings me to a question as to whether or not once uprooted, would they be able to save that bush by removal of the tree. Not sure about that one. but it could be an easy fix.

We finally had some real good rain today that lasted a good long time. I imagine that it also caused some street flooding since it was pretty hard in the beginning. There was no thunder or lightning. I started turning every thing off as the clouds became darker and darker. The entire lanai got a good washing. However, I noticed that the screen was again coming away from the wood. I will be contacting the person who redid portions of our lanai early next week. The ones he repaired are still standing. Hmm……and another point. I sent an e-mail about two weeks ago to the roofers explaining that I needed a downspout and an overhang. I will be sending another e-mail tonight. I may have to bite the bullet on this one and contact another contractor.

I sincerely hope that they find that sub and everyone on board is OK. Take care and stay safe. I know your tests came out great. Soon the three of you will be on your way to Colorado.
