Saturday

The day started out with me still hacking this deep chest tickle and with Nancy complaining of a sore throat. Then she began to complain her tongue was swollen as well as her throat. We called the pharmacy and sure enough it seems she may be allergic to this new BP medicine so she stopped that immediately. That is such a bummer as the medicine in just 2 doses dropped her pressure down remarkable. We did our quiet time then I decided to do nothing thinking that course of action may help my body get over this coughing.

Amy and Ava came for lunch and we played inside as it was very windy all day. We had to once again turn the A/C back on as the humidity began to rise. We were supposed to help with Angelfood distribution in the morning but we thought better not due to our health issues. We were supposed to meet up with our house church for Element to donate blood to the Florida Blood Services at 4 PM in Pinellas Park at the mall then all have dinner together at BJ'S Restaurant. We decided to go and support out group, Nancy's sore throat disappeared as well as the swelling and I had been sucking down DayQuil all day so we went but did not give blood. 6 of us were eligible to give to blood and a couple gave enough blood for 6 transfusion's where by the process puts back into your body plasma at the same time as pumping the blood out. Nancy and I were eligible but because of her BP troubles and my being sickly we opted out to donate at this time.

We all then walked over to BJ'S for dinner. The food was very good, a little pricey and once we were seated good service. Nancy and I shared a large veggie pizza. We brought home enough for lunch today. We got back home around 8:30 then just chilled the rest of the evening with her flipping channels and me on some NCAA.

This morning we are heading over to Element Church in Tampa and are taking Dan with us as his wife Carol, daughter Amber and grandson are going down to visit son Andrew in West Palm Beach. We were awaken to the sound of much needed rain around 3 AM and some thunder and lightning. It's very dark and overcast as I write but hopefully we will get some more rain as we are just totally dried out. Lakes, ponds and rivers are drying up, would be nice to have some of that Fargo, N.D.water down here. Well will close for now as I need to get ready to head to Tampa. LATER
