So far this summer season has been more bearable for both Marie and I,
compared to last year at this time. As long as the weather isn't in
rapid flux, she isn't in great pain that the Tylenol can't touch.

I was doing my usual Friday night outing, and it got cut short with the
3-4 times a year ache in a few joints which have been plaguing me since
about 15 years of age or so. Tonight I'm out in the same tavern and
there are no problems. My point of all of this was that I told my server
how the pain was less intense than what Marie goes through much of the time.

I know that summer sends many of us in different directions. So before
everyone leaves ... ... ...  how about a quick update?

We are in compliance with the city as of Friday morning. We still have the
final coat of paint to put on the porch but primer was enough to satisfy the
city.

I worked in the garden today and got many of my perennials and annuals
planted. I actually got some sun on my face and it looks a wee bit tanned.
That looks so odd for me. I did have my big western hat on but it still got
some sun somehow.

With the pressure from the city off of us it will take a little while for me
to catch up on every thing else that needs doing but at least the stress is
gone. My body still aches and I think time will fix that problem. The
neuralgia is still a factor and has not totally let up. I know without a
doubt that it is tied to a lymphnode in my neck. I wonder if they can just
remove a lymphnode. Would it cure the problem?

We are headed into hazy, hot and humid. Tonight (right now) it is 69F (about
20C)  degrees and 71% humidity. Spring weather in gone!

(((HUGS to ALL)))
