I'll send you some of our rain
Hey, I'm awake still and the big 200 is here! Yea!!!!!
Well, I'm up and awake because tonight, after I got home from work, I ate dinner and then started to sit down and relax a bit when I discovered a bump on the back of my head. I got Jill to check it out and it was a tick... Just Great!
So, she didn't want to touch it, there were no walk-in clinics open to take it off, so I had to got to the ER.
I was not very thrilled about that! However, maybe it was a good thing that I did after all. We were there for about 3 hours and it was confirmed that it was a deer tick that was latched onto the back of my head. They removed it and I have been put on antibiotics for 10 days/ 500 mg, 3x's a day. I brought the tick home in a specimen bottle and we are going to mail it into the Connecticut AG department for testing. Of course, I couldn't bring it in the house until I had it double contained.
Well, at least I found it early.

Happy Friday MMC! Today kind of ends the long road from New Years for me with very few week days off. From now till Mid-August I've got a bunch of days off including next week Monday & Friday so back to back 3 day weekends. My brother comes in Monday night and we're going to my Uncle's this Sunday. Saturday will be some other stuff going on so it should be a busy weekend. Hope you all enjoy your day. Oh yeah we haven't used the a/c here since Saturday. Might need it today as it gets warmer!
I hate ticks! So glad you found it xmastidings, praying all is well.

********** MILESTONE DAY **********
Good Morning, Friends!
And yes, we have indeed arrive at yet another Milestone Day, number nine on our chart, in fact.
(Kind of hard to believe we have now reached 9 Milestones in 2018, already, isn't it?)
Let's look at today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 158
Days to Christmas Day: 200
The 200-Day Christmas Day Window.
The last day we will start one of our counts with a "2" in a long time.
Tomorrow. A double-1 count starts and will last through until the first of our DOUBLE DIGIT counts, which as you will notice is really not so very far away now.
(Wow!)
Getting a bit warmer but still not uncomfortable. No rain either, but that may be changing by Sunday.
Our current reading is 71 degrees and we should remain dry for today.
Have a Fabulous Friday, Everyone.
And let the weekend begin with a bang this afternoon!

Merry Friday MMC!
It’s going to be a nice day, partly cloudy with highs near 73 degrees. I’m just having my coffee and I’m working on a menu plan and grocery list. I have my yearly dermatologist appointment later this morning. I’ll probably stop at the butcher afterward. Other than that I’ll be working on my daily chores. And I plan on getting outside with Rocky to enjoy the weather. I’m going to grill steaks for dinner. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

So exciting Crown, thank you so much!!!
Happy Milestobe Day! 
Good Friday morning! We’ll be on day 2 of a job fair for our new store. We had some great candidates yesterday, but we also didn’t have enough candidates. Hopefully today and tomorrow will yield better results. The weather is perfect, sunny and not too warm, but we’re working morning ‘til night so I can’t enjoy it, bummer. Hope everyone will have a great day ahead!

Ugh, what an experience. Sounds like you did all the right things, and I hope that's the end of it.
Happy Milestone day everyone!
Happy Milestone Day and it's Friday! Looks like we are going to have a beautiful weekend. We don't have too many plans this weekend. My daughter has an end of the year softball party tomorrow and that is about it. I am looking forward to relaxing. Hope you all have a great day!
Ugh...the beloved ticks!! My SIL is just getting over Lyme disease. She doesn't remember getting bit at all.
That is great that you have all the long weekends to look forward to...I have a week off in Aug and the rest of my time is long weekends as well. Enjoy your weekend!
Good morning MMC!! Merry Friday!! YAY!!! I work until noon'ish today, I'll stop to visit at Moms, then home to gather our things & head to the lake! My friend/neighbor is supposed to be there early today so we can hang out! 
Lucy was acting all bummed this morning but when I told her she gets to go see Maggie today ~ her little head perked right up! 
This is them last weekend...
Tomorrow we are having breakfast with the neighbors & then doing a bicycle poker run at the lake - weather permitting! Looking forward to that. It's always a good time!
Everyone, have a Fabulous Friday!!!

What were you thinking???
Agree!! I hope you get the rain you need too. It's way too early for brown grass & falling leaves!! We did get a bit of rain last night! It rained hard, but only for a few minutes!
