I have transitioned off the steroids with no rebound cough. It is still not 100% gone but if I cough it does not turn into a prolonged bout. I am sleeping more normally although I have so much going on in my mind about the Robertson County Democratic Party Outreach and Engagement activities that I wake up early ready to think and organize. I finally found the brick wall I want to figure out how to get through. The RCDP Executive Committee had a “social” meeting yesterday and it was a typical “herding of cats” experience. So much passion and desire to take action – how to harness??
We had dinner with Natalie and her parents, who went to her first 2 Keith Urban shows. They said, even without Natalie, Keith does a fabulous show. Ear protection is mandatory. She is SOOOOO happy and looks radiant on stage.
We made a lot of progress on our outside work last week. My energy held up really well.
The gully from the pasture across the southeast end of property is being transformed into a rock drainage ditch with Craig’s manpower and Katie’s assistance. All of the stones near and far in the center photo are now neatly placed. This is not quite finished yet, but is done at the top where the water enters our property.
I finished sanding the front porch and took apart a weathered Adirondack chair. I sanded all of the pieces and it is cedar. All of cedar sawdust seemed to support my hypothesis from last summer that cedar is a great bug repellant for me. I was out until sunset with not one bite.
We are off to DC tomorrow – will drive to Buchanan VA the first day and arrive in DC early afternoon on Wednesday. The Unite for Veterans Rally AKA DDay Protest in on the 6th. We will likely be able to find some protests to join on the 7th as well.
