Yesterday afternoon - as the storm clouds were gathering - I started to feel pretty grim. Just over-the-top weak and wobbly. I came home at 4:00 PM and crawled into bed.

I still felt totally grim this morning and figured that a doctor's visit was probably called for. Fortunately, my doc could fit me in. So, I strapped a snorkle on Henry II and we motored over the doctor's office.

After much discussion, poking, prodding, etc., my doctor feels that I may have some sort of viral thing like a mono relapse or CMV. Or, I could be in the midst of a major Chronic Fatigue Syndrome immune system collapse. I don't have any normal flu like symptoms - just extreme weakness and fatigue. Basically that good ol' mono feeling.

So, doctor's orders are to just rest for several days and we'll wait to see what the blood tests show.

We had an unbelievable rain storm last night. It poured buckets and buckets and buckets. Prior to Noon yesterday, we were on track for the driest August ever recorded. After last night we dropped all the way down to the fifth driest on record - In the space of about eight hours.

And of course, there's nothing like a gullywasher to uncover heretofore hidden roof flaws. My renters called this morning - I cringed when I saw the caller id. I knew that roof leaks or flooding were probably going to be the topic of conversation. Turns out my roof had three spots that last night's jet powered rain found its way into. My world's greatest handyman, Kevin can patch it enough to get me through the winter. But a new roof is definitely in my near term cards.

Goodie...
