Almost Human

Finally beginning to feel almost human after a bout with the epizooty.  Although Kim is still feeling pretty poor.  She will see an allergist tomorrow, hopefully he can relieve her cedar fever.  She gets it every year at this time, and some years like this one, it turns into a secondary respiratory infection.  She is just miserable for most of a month, sometimes more.  We have just got to find some sort of relief for her.  The regular doctors have never really helped at all.  Finally got her to consider trying an allergist and see if there can be something he can do that the other can't. 

My sister-in-law is having surgery today.  I hate not being able to be there for that.  I don't think I am contagious, but I am pretty sure Kim is.  I don't think it prudent to expose her or her family to anything we might be carrying.  Not something you want much less after having throat surgery.  We can offer only our prayers and thoughts for support.  I am certain there will be plenty of folks there to take our place. 

The weather guys are predicting a possibility of freezing rain by Wednesday morning.

 

My driveway, we can't even leave the house due to the hill and ice.  Just a picture if what we can expect with icy weather.

Not a good thing in South Central Texas or the Hill Country.  We are pretty much paralyzed transportation wise.  We just don't have any equipment to deal with that sort of weather and we have even less experience driving on it.  The powers that be overreact and shut down roadways completely. 

 

This comes out of a fear of someone getting hurt or worse by driving in those conditions.  Usually someone gets blamed for the drivers poor decision to drive when they shouldn't and it's usually the police or the highway officials.  Just another example of people not taking responsibility for their own actions. 

 

It's not here yet, and hoping stays away.  I know this is not a big deal to you in the colder regions, but when it happens in a place like this, it can be pretty bad.

 

Happy Trails.
