Headed Home Soon

 Plans are coming together for our next trip to Chicagoland.

My car SHOULD be back with us this coming week, and we introduced a new house sitter to the cats yesterday.

This coming week, I have to go for labs, and then my next treatment. 

Dave and I are both in physical therapy now, so there are those appointments, too.

We're going to hire a lawn crew to come right before we leave town, and ask them to cut the lawn really short.

Nearly every minute of our time in Illinois is booked. I hate when that happens, but we didn't do it last time, and there are lots of people who want to see us, and who would be hurt if we didn't make the effort.

We WILL have time to travel a bit downstate, to where the "double brood" of cicadas will be!

Nothing much else to report.  I can't wait to be away from work for a week.  It's been bad lately, as previously posted.

This past week was no exception.  The biggest frustration is that, when called upon to explain myself and my actions, there's NEVER a reply (the accusations come via email, so my responses go back via email).

Never an "Oh, I see... okay, thanks."  So, I am left wondering when the next shoe will drop. What the next microscope exam of my work will entail....

The weather has started to get hotter.  It's been relatively nice, so far, but this weekend, and part of next week, will be miserable.

Did some intensive cooking yesterday, which turned out wonderfully.  

Today, I am taking it easy, with some home made bolognese sauce out of the freezer, pasta, and a salad.

Have a great week, and I may or may not take my lap top on vacation, so there may or may not be a post next Sunday!
