Saturday we had a nasty storm come through the area that caused some damage and downed trees. We lost our power on Saturday afternoon with some important things going on such as dinner and baking a cake for church.

It’s Sunday and our power is back on, and I am glad. Thanks to a crew of linemen who we met at the end of our street as we made our way to church. Thanks to those folks who were there to serve and to help out every day and in every situation.

Let’s hope we don’t have to replace much from our fridge that was off for 14 hours or so.

I am so glad it’s Saturday. This week has been way too crazy.

On Monday we had a flat tire and had to get our car towed to our mechanic where he checked the car out and put on our spare tire. He also installed a new air conditioner, and It’s come at a good time because it’s hot and humid out.

On Tuesday, we spent over $700 at Walmart on new tires for our car. Which should keep us safe on the roads because it’s been raining a lot here.

Wednesday, we went to a new Endocrinologist to reboot our diabetes care regimen. It looks like we both have things to work on, but it was good to have a plan and to get going on the road to better blood sugar.

On Friday, we went to the pharmacy and spent another chunk of change on drugs and other things for our diabetes care. Staying alive is expensive sometimes.

All of this was done while getting the job done at work. I have to say, being a grownup and taking care of stuff can be not a lot of fun. We are both glad it’s the end of the week. Let’s see what happens next.
