Another Update

As of Monday 4:30 PM it hasn't rained since Sunday evening.  It is still breezy and cloudy and even cool but the sun is making an appearance.  We were very fortunate to not have the storm come to our area as they had thought it would, and seeing all the devastation Southeast of us.  Everyone is talking about Houston and the flooding there, it is some of the worst I have seen.  However, if you see photos of Rockport, Texas, it appears to be almost gone.  There are many other small towns and cities that have been hit as hard or harder than Houston.  There are a lot of folks that are suffering.  That storm continues to dump even more rain on top of those areas compounding a very serious problem even more.  

We have been able to be out and about as needed.  Nothing really changed other than being more aware of our surroundings and the weather before we ventured out.  We made a quick trip to the vet to get some meds for Buster.  We will have to take him with us to Phoenix and the wedding.  We will have to leave him in the hotel for a few hours while we attend to business.  Since he has separation anxiety and being in a strange place probably will compound that, we are trying some meds to help him stay calm, and hopefully sleep while we are out.  So far we are seeing no real effect.  The dosage may need to be upped.  We also made a trip to get the microwave that the wife wanted, we are too spoiled to do without evidently.  Then Kim went shopping for a dress she will wear to the wedding.

A bit about this wedding.  It is being thrown together at the last minute so arrangements are changing by the hour.  The first place they planned as the location was denied.  So an alternate place was chosen.  It is a park, in Phoenix.  It's outside, it's Summer, in Phoenix.  It's supposed to be 106* down from the usual 110*.  Yeah, I know. 

Son#1 will need to travel/fly out on the day of the wedding due to work.  I am hoping someone else can pick him up at the airport, I don't know my way around there at all.  But I am pretty sure it will be me.  There is a lot of stuff going on, it makes my head hurt.  It will be a fairly casual affair and hopefully short due to the heat.  Oh but it's a dry heat you say.  It's still too freaking hot for a guy that has had heat stress/stroke multiple times.  I will probably carry bottles of ice water in my pockets lol.

The things you do for your crazy children.  Actually, I am more worried about Buster and how he will fare for several hours alone.  Hopefully that will go better than I expect.

Happy Trails
