Dreary Tuesday

It's another anti-breathing day here. Overcast and looks like rain, that makes me wheezy. Yesterday I could breathe, but I had a migraine when I woke up. The doctor told me to try Zyrtec? so I need to go buy that. I have been taking stuff at night when I go to bed, but that doesn't help me when I need to be up and moving around.

I stayed home yesterday with the headache and managed to sleep it off. I was up and about around noon and went to lunch and did some shopping. Had a fun afternoon out, exploring a new area I hadn't been to before. Got done in time to make my way to Hannah's school for dance uniform fittings. Lots of fun, girls seem down to earth and it was so much less chaotic fitting 16 girls for dance rather than 60 girls for cheer.

Hannah had a good report card. Her lowest grades were two 83's (which is a C here, but I'm still proud of her, missed the B by 2 points). I think she will finish the year out fairly strong. EOGs are coming up and that is stressful, but there is little that can be done to prepare her any further for it than she already has been. I know the whole school goes into overdrive at state testing time.

Keith has been working to retro-fit the hot tub. Since we had it crated up and ready for the company to pick back up several months ago, and they never did, we figure we may as well put a bit of money into fixing it and making it safe and getting some use out of it. Propped up on its side and wrapped in cardboard with a big blue tarp over it, it's a big eyesore. Rumor is that the company that sold it to us on the internet has gone bankrupt because so many credit card charges have been reversed (and rumor has it too that the owner has reopened under his mother's name as a "new" business). They were so lax in helping us resolve our problems, I can't imagine they will ever come get it. I'm just sick of it blocking the pretty view of my springtime backyard. So, it's not the quality Keith was expecting when he purchased it for me. He got the money back he spent for it, so all that has been put into fixing it is what it is costing to keep it. Not a big deal in the scheme of things.

Well, time to get off to work. It's going to be a busy rest of the week. Kind of glad I took yesterday to have some down time.
