It's going to be a long May

It is 31 days until Leah's wedding. In that amount of time, we will make four, yes FOUR trips to Joplin. Showers, bachelorette party, wedding. It's going to be a busy month.

But, she only gets married once, so I guess it's worth it.

I made homemade bagels last night. That kept us up later than we wanted, but they taste great!

Today is my dad's 55th birthday. He is officially a senior citizen. I didn't remind him of that fact, but I'm sure he and Mom are looking forward to the discount. K.C. is settling into his new home nicely. He's even playing with his toys.

I'll try to take some pictures of him (along with all of the wedding fun) when we're down to Joplin . . . again . . . and again . . . and again.

Sick on the Road

Being sick when you're away from home has got to be one of the worst ways you can be sick. I was traveling to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for work on Tuesday and woke up that morning with a slight sore throat. Slight enough that I attributed it to the dry air from all the recent weather changes.

Not so much. In fact, by 5:00 PM that night, I was pretty sure I had a fever. When I took my temperature at 6:00, it was already over 101, and I was pretty sure I was coming down with strep. That was Tuesday, and I was supposed to be in Hot Springs through Friday.

Needless to say, I flew home on Wednesday, and have been trying to recover ever since. Still a little tired, but I feel TONS better.

On a positive note, I've lost the four pounds I've been stressing about lately. Hopefully I won't find them again now that I'm feeling better!
