good news and bad news

so last week I had my Dr visit. it was an hour and a half. we talked about how I was feeling, going over possibilities and then ordered some labs. 6 to be exact. sitting down in the chair to get my blood drawn the nurse asked for my info and then started to prep. I looked away as the needle went in, but then turned and watched as she drew 5 vials of blood. apparently it wasn't as much blood as it looked like. and I don't have ideal veins for giving blood.... she noticed how tiny my veins are even with pumping them. a week went by and I finally got my results back. good news - I don't have Hashimoto's disease {it's a autoimmune disease where the body attacks the thyroid function}. bad news - I still have an active case of mono. I guess I'll slow down and little bit and not try to push myself as much as I was lately. I'm surprised with all the hours I managed to put in during May, I haven't been more run down than I am.

last Saturday we had an insane windstorm and it happened to split our fence. luckily it was still standing enough that it kept the dogs apart. our sweet neighbor took the lead on the fence repair on Wednesday. Friday night Mitch and our neighbor worked on it some more. unfortunately we had another wind storm blow through and we realized there are more weak spots on our fence. they got a lot done and we'll wait til Monday to work on it some more. that way the new post has time to cure in the cement.

while they were working on the fence, I puttered around in the garden watering and weeding. I found my first ripe raspberry. YUMMY. I'm so excited for more to ripen. the boys sat with me and we watched them work on the fence for a little bit. they are full of energy because we have to keep an eye on them in the back yard since the fence isn't done. it'll be nice when they can have free range of the yard again and I don't have to worry about them breaking into the neighbors backyard.

We had Kennady's {our niece}birthday party Saturday afternoon. It was at the Zoo. Even though it was crazy busy and parking was a nightmare, we had a lot of fun. I'll have to post some pictures from our adventure.
