Spring today, winter... next weekend

 It's really quite amazing, the extreme changes in Oklahoma weather.  

Frankly, I am pretty tired of it, HAHA!

The good thing, though, is that we had about an hour of rain this past week, and might see more next week, before the really cold weather comes back. 

It's a gorgeous weekend, and we are hoping to get out into nature today.  Might even go for a long drive to get to a state park.

Everywhere we go will be crowded, though, which it aggravating.  Too many people equals too much noise, and trash, and not enough peace and quiet.

But, it is what it is, and I need to get out there!

My foot is doing much better, and I will put my "medical inserts" into my hiking shoes, and, hopefully, off we will go!

We still haven't satisfactorily completed our taxes.  We both think there's a mistake somewhere that needs to be fixed, because there is really no reasonable way we should still owe $2,000 after both having extra taken out of every pay check toward taxes!

So, we hope to get that re-done today, as well.

This coming week, I have my blood draw, and then my next treatment.  

I've been having some new pains, which worry me quite a lot.  I think I must have hurt myself in trying to do self therapy on some muscular pain I was having.

It's been going on for a week now, and there is some swelling. It's on my back, near my shoulder blade, where I had been having a lot of muscle pain for a few weeks.  No massage in over a year, and I always carry my stress in my shoulders.

So, I bought a new self therapy tool, and was making use of my tennis ball and foam roller, to try to loosen up those knots.

It makes sense that I might have hurt myself, because I was really focusing on that area, and the pain came on suddenly.  Did I crack a rib?  Yikes....

But, of course, as a long term cancer patient, I can't help for freak out about the - other -possibilities.

So, doc may order an x ray, or my next scan.  We'll see.

Not much else to report.  

Have a good week!
