Seeing Red...

I did indeed go back to work on Friday. It went well. I only worked from 8 to 12, but I managed to get a good bit done. Being able to keep up with my email at the house was a huge advantage. If I hadn't been able to check my email, it would have taken 2 days just to go through it all. Having it all read though allowed me to go in and file it away and then get right to work. There was a lot of news and things to catch up on, but I think tomorrow I'll be able to get right to work. I'm going to work just 8 to 12 this week and of course we're off Tuesday for the 4th, so it should be a pretty easy going.

We still don't have my blood thinner regulated. Just when we thought we had it figured out, the number shot up on Friday, so Dr. Kerr had me go to the hospital this morning to have it checked again and it was the highest it's ever been, which means my blood is as thin as its ever been. So now we're backing off of the pills for a day or two and basically, we're just going to have to start over. Maybe one day we'll figure out the magic combination of pill sizes to get things where we want them to be.

The home improvement projects roll on. I think DeAnne has watched enough HGTV this summer that it's killing her when she's not working on something. The current project: painting the dinning room red. We know that a lot of people have red dinning rooms, but she's always wanted a red dinning room, so now she'll have one. She got started Friday night by taking down the wallpaper border around the top of the room. Saturday she primed and put on the first coat of paint. I helped when and where I could, but there's still not a lot that I can do. I'm pretty pleased with it myself and Dee's really excited. It looked really good after the first coat dried. We're doing a second coat today to even everything out and get it looking really good. I'll post pictures after we're done and have everything cleaned up.
