Fickled Weather

Today was suppose to be the worst day of the week so far, but instead it was close to being the nicest. The sun was out longer today than it had been all week so far. So this was nice seeing this was suppose to be the start of "winter" part three or four!

They are predicting that there could be snow both days this weekend; nothing is suppose to stick where we live but where Alyssa and Dan live there is a real good possibility that they will get snow actually on the ground. Poor Zander will probably have his T-ball games canceled because of snow.

I thinks Aaron is suppose to be working tomorrow so at least he will not be flying through a snow/hail storm. The weather has not been too bad for most of his flying and he has gotten quite a lot of fly time in over the last month.

Kathleen's Uncle, her mother's twin brother, is having a 96th birthday celebration this Saturday, Kathleen has been feeling so poorly that she is not going and I do not think Alyssa is planning on going as she has been busy with the children and their activities.

With Aaron working I doubt that they will attend; Brandon is sick and so Andrea and John will not be going and Toni is working also so she and Chucky will not be going. It is kind of too bad as several of them were looking forward to going.

Tomorrow is the monthly men's breakfast and I had kind of planned on going but I have been really tired today and I have been questioning going now. I have not gone to one in several months and would really like to go, but it starts at 0830 and my bowels have not usually settled down that early.

I am usually up and moving around by then so that is not a problem it is just that I usually need to stay close to the toilet until1000 or 1100. While I was at the doctor's today he suggested that I might want to go back to the gastroenterologist that I went to last fall for the colonoscopy and see if he had any suggestions on what to do.

Speaking of my doctor's visit today; my PSA reading was the lowest it has been since a month after my surgery almost two years ago. It was .28 in January and .17 today so that is only .07 higher than it was at the lowest reading. Maybe it has finally started on a downward trend, I can only hope.

I was really glad to that it was going down for a couple reasons: first it means that it is not getting worse and secondly I am hopeful that I will be able to start getting my PSA screening every six month or eventually annually which would really be nice!

Both Kathleen and I took naps this afternoon, she went upstairs, I did not make it upstairs and just fell asleep in my chair. I think just the stress of having to get my PSA taken and knowing that for the last year and a half it has not done what it was suppose to do took more out of me than I admitted to myself.
