Oosh...

What a week it has been! First was my scary allergic reaction on Sunday night. Then, Monday evening, V was in severe pain again from this stupid sinus infection. I took off work Tuesday morning and drove him to the doctor (he couldn't keep his eyes open long enough to see to drive!) They scheduled him for a head CT which he had this morning. It turns out that he has cysts in both maxillary sinuses. The right one isn't symptomatic but the left one has been causing him trouble for weeks. He has now been referred to an ENT specialist but he doesn't have an appointment time yet. So, it continues....

We did have some excitement Tuesday afternoon. There was an accident right in front of the house and we had a totaled car end up in our driveway. Someone attempting to make a left turn across traffic was rear ended by someone else who wasn't paying attention and didn't slow down. Fortunately, no one was injured. But what's really scary is that it happened just minutes before I12 got home on the bus. It terrifies me to think of someone slamming into the back of one of the school busses (which happened near here last evening). Anyway, I go down to see if anyone is injured or if they need any help- and it turns out that the guy who was hit was one of the guys from the orchard that I had met at the workshop the other weekend. It seems that he lives with his mother just down the road that takes off east right across from our driveway. Talk about coincidence. He said that he had wondered about who had bought the property but didn't feel like it was appropriate to stop by. I told him that he didn't need to have an accident to stop by to see who lived here!

Then, there is the weather. We have been significantly below normal for this time of year. This morning it was -5 F! At the end of February! Brrr!! I am SO ready for winter to be over.
