Memorial day weekend

 No plans for us this holiday weekend, to speak of.  Just one possibility for tomorrow.

My pain issues have been getting better after 2 weeks off of the hormone blocker.  

Yesterday, I was completely pain free for most of the day.  That was the first day of no pain since something like February, so that's encouraging. 

Today, I am also doing really well.

I got my labs drawn Friday, and will see my doc on Tuesday, and I guess we will discuss which one to switch to until it gets unbearable.  I will also ask for a referral to a pain management doctor, for future reference.

I hate this.

Anyway, so far, it's been mostly quiet next door, except for the middle of the night on Thursday, when Teacher must have been having an end of school year party or something.  Of course, they had to all stand around in the driveway talking and slamming car doors.

There was a lot of coming and going yesterday, with more loud voices in the driveway, but all during daylight hours.  The dogs were out wandering the neighborhood when no one was home.

It was quiet last night, because no one was there, and there has only been one visit today by the Teacher, probably to let the dogs out to pee.  Those poor dogs.  In the house all day with no one around, day after day.

I completed two weeks of working extra hours, and will get those overtime hours on the next check, which is also supposed to have our raises.

We were promised individual emails from h/r with the description of our salary adjustments, but none have come yet. We will probably get the pay checks before we get the emails, and then we can determine for ourselves what the percentage of the increase is.

We did errands and chores yesterday.  I got out and mowed the back yard this morning, because it's really hot, and then co - facilitated an international zoom with my spiritual community.

Then, lunch, and a nap.  Staying in this afternoon because I have a heat head ache. 

Dave is cleaning up in the kitchen, and then will head out to continue to cut the overgrowth from the north east corner of the house.  

Tomorrow, we hope to go to the Paseo Arts Festival.  It's supposed to be a little cooler and less windy tomorrow, which will help, and if my pain level is manageable, too, it will be REALLY nice.

We've got our annual package of Ball Park hot dogs ready for tomorrow.  

Whatever you do, enjoy your weekend and holiday.
