Wednesday ......July 15th......2009

Tomorrow is Linda's Oncology appointment as well as scheduled infusion of Avastin.....she is very concerned about the bronchitis and sinus infection and its impact on her treatment...her heart rate has been high and raising concerns as to what it is tied to....so we need to ask about that tomorrow..and her stomach is feeling uneasy so she is not eating properly....she has gone back on the Culturelle...which we hope does the trick....

We are not that happy to be home as we had an immediate conflict with our neighbor....the dog again....as soon as we walked in front of our place the dog started barking again (old behavior)...and to our astonishment, the neighbor had extended his garden enclosure to the front part of our home..now the dog was practically in our face....it got worse...not wanting to bore you with the details...there is now a total communications breakdown...this fellow's sense of fairness and reality and the truth follows a strange path. The final blow was his dog barking at 11 pm to which the owner minimized the impact....now we cannot sleep with our windows open....the only solution at this point seems to be to tolerate the erratic behavior and hope a buyer comes by. We don't need this guy right now. Like Linda said ..."The straw that broke the camel's back finally happened".... "We always wondered if it might happen".

The good news is we have some great plans over the next few weeks and plan on getting away and enjoying life.

Tonight we saw 4 baby skunks with their mother scurrying along with their tails high in the air...wish we could have gotten a picture...but they were across the creek.

A pity those skunks didn't "meet" the dog.

We've been through this. Had to go to city government arbitration.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Good fences make good neighbors. And better sound barriers.

Best of luck on the morrow. I'm sure that part can all be worked out.

Ohh, sorry about the dog business and all. Thanks for the heads up about the skunks. We got to see them.

maybe the skunks can take care of the late night dog issue... Oh, I see we're all of a similar mind. ;-)

L, remember all the energy from NB and tap into it now. Let it soothe your worries and restore your sense of calm balance. And know that I got you wrapped in that golden glow of healing light.

I feel for you about the dog barking. I know ours bark but we take care of them right away. Here in Omaha after 10 pm when dogs bark you get a ticket.
Glad you made it back home safe and sound.
Our prayers are with you for today.
Love,
Janet

Ugh! Sorry about your noisy neighbors. It's too bad some folks just don't take the time to think about how they're affecting others.

Anyway, hope you get some more promising news today!

Bleh... neighbors. We have some that have had barking dogs, screaming children, you name it. Years, they've been at it. Always in the summer, the kids get in the pool and start screaming until all hours of the night. Really annoying. That's why I always enjoy it when Dad's in the garage with the door open and revs up the racecar in the evening. I figure we get to have a shot at annoying everyone once in a while.

Glad you're home. Please try not to worry too much about what's causing any of your symptoms. I'm so glad you have lots of plans to get out and have some fun. That's what you need to be doing. Actually, it's what all of us need to be doing.

Love to you both, as always.

That dog has got to be dealt with. As the local sheriff to come by during the night and listen for himself. That cannot be tolerated even if Linda wasn't ill. I will pray the skunks make contact with the neighbor and his dog. Hope your report today at the doctors is a good one. I will be back on the blog later today to see how it went. My love to you, Judy

Can't wait to hear the details about your latest plans AND your health results. The dog problem sounds more like a lousy neighbor problem. Anyone else in the neighborhood willing to take up the cause?
