When I decided to start writing this new blog I said that it would be at the least an every other day thing. Well, it's been six days. Six very long, very frustrating days. Work has not been my friend lately.

Dad had three doctor's appointments. It is somewhat of a release of the worry I have had over him lately to know where we stand and what is to be expected. However, it does not ease the panic when he says, "I don't feel well." I thought I was going to have to take him to the ER today. I called from work and he said he was okay. When I arrived home about 12:30 he said he was having trouble breathing. (panic button had hand hovering right over it.) I looked at him--he wasn't blue, he was talking, and it appeared that even though he obviously didn't feel well there was no reason to panic. A.llegra D to the rescue!! After going out and getting a refill of his pain meds, a few groceries, and in general just riding around, he seems remotely better. I admit I do wonder what I will do if he starts to go "bad" as the doctor said. Even though it has been eight years since Mom died, the image of her having repeated grand mal seizures is still fresh in my mind.

Oh my goodness....Autumn just made snicker doodles from scratch. Yum. I also made a recipe by my favorite southern cook PD that was called onion cheese bread. Oh my goodness, was it wonderful. I took that recipe and converted it to apple pecan coffee cake. Yum. It only has a quarter cup of sugar and then you drizzle it with glaze. I love to experiment when I have the time. Lately I just have not.

I have to go to dad's house tomorrow and finish the weed eating. Yuck. Do I have to? Yes, I know the answer. I still have tons to do around here. Maybe I can get some of it done next Friday and Saturday while I am at home with Ashley recuperating from her oral surgery.

Gotta run. I will try and post again tomorrow. Night everyone!
