Last night was kind of a bomb.. and not in a good way.
Levi has a nasty tick bite on his leg, it had been there several days (the bite, not the tick)and he finally showed it to me Thursday night and asked what he should do. It looked bad. I got on my trusty computer and went to webmd to look up symptoms of lyme disease and shure 'nuf - he had them. I told him he needed to get to the doctor as early as possible.
The doc took blood to test for lyme disease and put him on a strong antibiotic. I thought he should have given Levi a shot of cortisone in the bite,but, he didn't.
So, last night Levi was feeling pretty yucky. He still wanted to cook steaks, but, he didn't do his usual wonderful job of it. The steaks were way under-done for us.
Nobody liked the scallops but me.
Levi just picked at his food, hardly ate anything and then just went home without even wanting cheesecake.
You know Levi doesn't feel good when he doesn't want cherry cheesecake!!
Today the guys are at our local university setting up our PA, getting ready for the CD release party of one of our recent CD's.
Em and I will go up later - much later.
I watched "What Not to Wear" last night. I love that show. I watch it all the time, but, this morning I decided to do something about it. I cleaned out my closet, boy, did I clean it out.
I threw out everything that just doesn't fit right or had stains or was faded. That didn't leave much in my closet. So, I decided to go shopping.
I remembered Kristen putting up a link to a store that helps you determine what will fit your body style. I found the link, Thanks Kristen, went thru the whole process and wound up buying a pair of Jag jeans - cute!
I also bought a couple of new shirts from Walmart.com, one has a capped sleeve and darted middle to fit - it is a light blue, the other has 3/4 sleeves, darted middle and is dark blue and comes with a cami.
I'm ready to buy and wear fall clothes - I'm tired of summer.
Public school starts here in 2 weeks. Not us, we won't start until after Labor Day.
I made arrangements today with my brother to meet them mid-August to send Mother home with them.
I need a break.
Taking care of her is really not that big of a deal, it's the guilt.... I am doing the best I can, but, I just can't summon up the compassion she needs and I sure don't feel any love for her.
I just can't change 50 years of emotions.

Awww! I'm so sorry Levi was sick on his birthday. That can't be fun! I hope he feels better soon. It's a good thing he has a smart mom who knew what to do. I swear guys will let themselves almost die before they do something about it. David's almost has blood poisining before he went to the doctor for a cat bite. They almost had to take his finger!
The new clothes sound cute! I have to say, I'm ready for fall too. I'll miss the long days of summer though.
Sorry the dinner wasn't a hit. :(
Glad you got inspired to get some new duds!
(And everyone deserves a break from time to time, friend. :) )
I sure hope Levi feels better soon! Lyme disease can be pretty yucky sometimes!
The new clothes sound fun!
I was reading about what you wrote about your Mom and I have lots of quilt about my Mom as well. I don't hate her....I just don't really want to have anything to do with her but I am forced to due to the fact that I am the only one of the children in town with her. Would you mind sharing with me how you deal with this? Thank you so much.
