And so it's been another day of watching internet weather and calling family members. May has turned out to be one eventful month. Facebook actually came in handy today as I was able to talk with some others back home before I actually got a hold of my mom. At last check, she was still waiting for word from her sister. As for our weather? Another day of near 100s and just plain yucky outside. I'm praying our complaining fuel pump doesn't leave me stranded somewhere on the hot asphalt. My live-in mechanic has promised to remedy the situation this weekend.
On the plus side, my husband (and the same live-in mechanic) got a good report from his doctor today. Turns out meds for high blood pressure and over-the-top cholesterol are a good thing (inside joke here). That man has been a walking heart attack (okay, maybe not that extreme) since he had one when he was twenty-eight. His heart may be in good shape for now, but his blood pressure and such has always been on the high side, especially here lately. Six months ago his health insurance provider basically said, Get this under control or watch your rates go up. He may not listen to me and my pleas for his good health, but he understands the concept of pay more quite well. To celebrate the good news (along with losing five pounds), he had pizza and soda for lunch. Ha!
Speaking of which, my cell should be whistling any moment now for his daily on his way home phone call. That sound is the highlight of my day (okay... most days). Funny, though, how all the tragedy playing out on an almost daily basis makes you appreciate the little things all the more.
And there's that whistle now. =)

I love getting my 'daily on his way home' phone call, too. With all this horrible weather, it soothes my soul.
