GO!! Again...

So The Girl had her first of classes yesterday--with everyone else. The "Sevies" got to stay home, so The Boy got to do all my errands with me. He is thrilled to go back to school today.

I tried giving blood at our Stake blood drive last night and my blood pressure was two points higher than was allowed. I was so bummed! I have only ever been turned away one other time from giving blood. That is, since the kids were born. Prior to that, in college, I passed out after giving blood once and the nice old lady Red Cross volunteer kindly told me I was too much hassle and probably shouldn't ever give blood again. I got over that. I have been giving blood about every four months at our stake's scheduled drive since I can remember--probably about 12 years. That makes for almost 36 pints of blood from me. I was pretty disappointed that I failed yesterday.

My day with Dear Friend Tammy was better yesterday--her girls were at school! Tammy's voice is steadily weaker and her morphine dosage has been increased to every hour, if needed. But, on the up side, the house was so clean when I got there, I asked Mr. Rick (who was just leaving for work) if he had someone come in and do it. (I know full well the girls didn't do it.) He said No, he just got tired of it looking like a sty. Hopefully, with everyone back on a schedule, things will stay a little cleaner a little longer there for his sake.

So, we all are off today. Ready, set, GO! The Boy to school with everyone, The Girl to school as a student, Genius golfer off at Casual Friday at work, and I am off to walk for an hour and hopefully get my BP back where it should be. So much for summer fun.
