It's August Already

Where has the summer gone? We are already into the second week of August. The month is just flying by. The coast of California really has not had a summer this year. Around here it has stayed in the upper 60's to low 70's every day. Some days were better than others, meaning we had gray, foggy days. No rain, just gloomy. We finally are seeing sun. I know that some of you have had enough of the heat and want it to go away. I hope it will for you and soon.

We did buy a house in Bluffton, South Carolina, in Hampton Lakes. It will be one that will be built. We aren't in a big hurry for the construction to be finished as the longer it takes, the longer it will be before we have to start making mortgage payments. The builder, David Weekly Homes, has given us a lot of extras for the first year. They are paying for the first year of POA. This is Property Owner Association. Every one has their own take on things - ha,ha. They are also paying for the first year of lawn maintenance which will be helpful to us. Anything to cut our expenses. We haven't been given a date for completion but we are guessing January 2011.

We are still in limbo about the job in Denver for the VA Hospital. The VA still has not made up their minds. So we wait and wait some more. One of these days we will be surprised with an announcement. Will we still be going to Denver? Depends on whether Clark wants us too. We are supposed too. We will have to wait and see. See, more waiting. Talk about having patience...

I am doing well so far on the new drug for walking. I should be starting on taking 2 tablets in about a week and a half. It does feel scary to me but I am hoping everything will be fine. I haven't had any problems now. I have my next infusion of the steroid on August 21. This will leave me one more month of it and then I see the doctor again. Thank goodness for insurance!
