Weather is perfect here again today...in the high 70's.We have the door and windows open...nice breeze outside. Supposed to stay like this for the next couple days and then possibly drop into the 60's. We could take this weather all winter...
Work is progressing on the new camping area although they are not working today (Sunday). We had been told to move tomorrow but that won't be happening. It looks like there are several more days of work that need to be done.
Linda got stung again at work by a red wasp. Last Wednesday she got stung by one and by Friday it had turned into cellulitis and had affected an area the size of her hand on her forearm. She went to medical office at work and they lanced it; found the stinger was still in it and removed it. That took place at 5:00 p.m.....by our next break at 10:00, it had spread even more. Red, puffy and warm to the touch. Taking the stinger out helped it though. By the next day it was starting to improve. Now, a week later it was starting to get back to normal and then last night another red wasp stung her when she pulled a book out of a bin. Same spot on her arm..went to medical office again but no nurse in (happened at 2:00 a.m.)Manager who was there got her some Bendryl and alcohol to swab it with. Is red today but luckily the stinger did not go in her arm this time. Seems to be a lot of these red wasps at work and they sure like Linda.....
Since we are PA natives, we were cheering for the Phillies during the World Series. We were working the night of final game...found out who won when we had our supper break. Since both of my kids are living in Philly, they told me how crazy the city got after Philly won....absolute pandemonium broke out. We found out last night that one of the guys there is originally from Binghamton so we were chatting with him about that.Small world....
Well, sun is setting over Coffeyville. Linda is back from doing laundry and the race only has about 50 laps to go. Time for supper and relaxing.
