Summer Daze and Rash Update

We are having one of our first Summer-like days. Above is a screen capture of my weather app. We have several days of nice weather ahead of us. Too bad I can’t swim.

In the meantime, let ‘s get an update on my rash.

That’s today’s photo, seven days after the photo on my last post.

It stopped oozing almost immediately after I stopped applying Neosporun. It’s still pretty red and a little itchy but way better than it was.

I never did get the ointment that the doctor prescribed because Rite-Aid didn’t have it on hand. They had to order it and because of the Memorial Day weekend, they wouldn’t have it until at least Tuesday.

Well, by the time Tuesday rolled around, the rash was dramatically improving and I didn’t think I needed the ointment. So, sit on it, Rite-Aid.

I’ve been putting Vaseline on it because it gets pretty dry and scaly but I am definitely feeling that it is on the mend.

I have been riding the hell out of Mark’s bike. I’m really enjoying it. I can’t say that I’m getting the same kind of exercise as when I go on a walk, but I usually return to the house feeling like I stressed myself out a little.

As I’m typing right now, there is a guy named Tim from All Things Piano who is doing what I hope will be the final tune on the piano since it’s refurbishment.

We have been playing it for the last week and half, since Chris was here to do the initial tuning. As expected, it almost immediately went out of tune. During the shake down, we also indentified a few keys down on the bass end that needed a little adjustment.

He’s been here about an hour and probably has an hour to go.

In the meantime, I’m going to sit on the front porch and enjoy the weather with my lemonaid.
