Not much new here today. Still have the rash, still itching and it's still spreading. The only good news on that front is that it seems to be trying to clear up on my lower legs where it first started. That's progress and at this point I'll take it. We have Graduation for my oldest grandson tomorrow night, so that means a trip to Louisiana for his big event. He had a struggle here at the end with the unexpected death of his father's brother in January that sent his grades spiraling down. He was very close to his uncle and this hit him like a brick wall. Thankfully, he was able to pick up his grades here in the last month and a half and save his scholarship too. He will be starting college in pharmaceutical school in the Fall. They wanted him to start this summer, but he needs a little time off. My husband is off running errands in town and will pick up a refill for me on my steroid ointment for this rash. I don't want to run out and not have any tomorrow when we are out of town. When he gets back we will head out to McComb and have lunch and pick up a few groceries. That's my plans for today, what are you doing? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

I'm glad your grandson was able to pick up his grades again after his uncle passed away. Sometimes things like that hit harder than we realize they will. Nothing much going on here. Pretty told me last night she wants to go grocery shopping today. (I tried to talk her into going a few days ago with me but she refused.) It would have been more practical for her to have gone then but, of course, she wanted to be difficult and stay in bed. I can't guarantee I'll be able to see so it's better to get things like that done when I can see instead of putting them off. I just woke up to use the bathroom and will be going back to sleep soon, I hope. Have fun going to lunch. I hope it's good.

Yes, you are right, get it done when you can do it or you may not get it done at all! We knocked out some errands today and then had a late lunch. It was good and we got our favorite waitress.

@kareng Yup! She's mad now because I can't see well enough to drive. *shrug* It's her own fault.

Thank you! We are leaving early so that we can visit The Good Feet Store before Graduation. I wouldn't mind doing more shopping over there, but another time without the grumpy hubby!!

We'll be going shopping shortly and I need to water the garden today as we'll be away most of tomorrow.

We did the same today. I think I over did it, as I came home exhausted. Feeling better now after resting some. Tomorrow a drive to southern Louisiana for Graduation for the oldest grandson! Whoop!

@JudyEv Thank you! Very proud of him but was very upset to hear what his father pulled on Graduation Day. I may (or may not) post on it.
