Oh the fun. I went to the doctor today on a follow up visit although I feel like more got accomplished in this visit than in the last one. I am being put on medicine for my high blood pressure and well he had one all called in and I went and picked it up. It is one that I am allergic to. VERY VERY SUCKY I bought the stupid thing now I can't get rid of it cause once you pay for it and it leaves the pharmacy you can't bring it back...so I guess that I am stuck w/ this medicine that I can't take.
I like to read up on new meds that I am given and I was looking at this one's info and it said that if you are allergic to sulfa drugs you can't take this one. I texted my doctor (yes a privilege that most patients don't have) and told him that I am allergic so gladly he will be calling in the different prescription for me tomorrow.
No, I am not looking forward to going to the bathroom more cause I just gotta go but if it helps my blood pressure go down and maybe it helps me feel a bit more calm (yea right) it might be worth it. Plus I'll bet I'll loose some weight which of course will all be water weight, not that I overly care at this point because the scale will be going down.
So I get to visit the doctor again in 3 weeks to see how this medicine is going for me and by then I will have seen the hematologist.
I really have to get over this whole being 1 of 6,852,472,823 cause it is getting really old really fast. I can't have anything that makes me drowsy (cause we are trying to get rid of it why take medicine that makes you feel that way), I can't have any that thin my blood (stupid vonWillenbrands), and finally I can't have any that I am allergic to (yea that's not pretty). Sigh oh well. I guess things could be worse and my doctor could not know all this about me and just forge blindly ahead making blunders; or even worse I hadn't read the information packet that they send home with your medicine and not realized that it is something that I am allergic to until after I had the nasty rash to contend with I would not have been happy camper I can tell you that much!!!
I am starting to feel a bit better though and have some more energy although I am so stressed that my blood pressure is out of sight but I am hoping that that will be corrected and I will start feeling like WAY SUPER BETTER!!!!! Plus I am looking forward to the scale to start being my friend a bit more cause it is going down and not up cause I would really like to loose the weight that I have and it really isn't easy. I guess that I didn't really address that situation today but I am hoping that with the more energy and the loss of the extra water that I know I have that maybe I will feel up to doing more and playing more which would be totally awesome!

The 4th of July :)
Ok so we had a fun time. On the 2nd we went to Challis and man did we have lots and lots of fun up there! We mostly went to visit with my mom but we also kind of went so that we could be there for the 4th because I really like having that tradition in our family :) So we stopped on our way to Challis and got some fireworks and it was totally awesome :) Poor Jack got boarded for the whole time and I guess he really didn't care for it at all even though he got a good report card.
We went to church on Sunday and found out that they wanted kids to ride in the back of truck so that they could throw out candy and Lowell of course was totally for that! He really wanted to be in the parade and they only thing he had to do was just show up in time to be in the truck and he could be part of the parade.

He says he had a lot of fun and when he saw us he made sure to grab a handful of candy and throw it at us :) .
Then later that night we set off some fireworks...ok so it was a little crazy but it was enjoyable although in the future we are going to wait until later and make sure we have GOOD bug spray cause I really hate getting eaten alive!
Yes we ended up setting the lawn on fire but hey Max did put it out :) I am thinking that if we wait until later when I go to record the fireworks that we would be able to see the colors better. There were some great colors but I guess because it was too light in the video you can't see the colors like you should be able to.
Then we spent the week there and it was fun. We did go to Stanley :) that was awesome :) and we just lazed a bit around the house and visited :)

This was part of the Sunbeam hot springs. I saw this water running down the mountain and so I went over to investigate and it was so pretty so I took some pictures and just as I was about deciding to dip my fingers into the water a HUGE gust of steam hit my face and I definitely decided that putting my fingers into that water would be a VERY bad thing.
Then on Saturday my mom and I went to Carey and picked up Twlonie and brought her back to Challis which was really awesome the way that worked out :) I was so glad that we were able to get her and so we went back to Challis and then we went that evening to the Y-Inn and had dinner there for our 10 year class reunion. I know this is going to sound strange but I guess not much has changed since high school. Twlonie and I are still excluded, Max agrees with me on this because he saw it happen to, and so we were excluded from most of the conversation and we probably should have just gone to the main part of the restaurant and just ordered dinner and had it just Twlonie, Max, and I. Then the rest of my class that showed up went into the bar and got drunk, why? because they are dumb I guess. I do know that I was super glad that the dinner was early. Then on Sunday again we went to sacrament because well that was kind of all we had time for and so we went to church and home again and I made up my baked beans and we went to the picnic part of the class reunion and there we were once again left out. We sat down and ate our lunch all alone and the rest of my class stood around and joked and talked. We managed to get out of Challis at a good time but we still weren't able to get back in time to pick up Jack. All and all it was a fun trip and I was really glad that I did get to spend some time with Twlonie :) I think that that made up for the annoyance of going to the class reunion. It ended up being a good excuse for us to get together again.
Plus I managed to sell a few more covers and so I had more sewing to do when I got home and life is all good :)
More later :)

The river was all choppy and not all nice and smooth like a mirror like I was hoping it would be but hey if you wanna get THE picture you have to make several trips or at least watch the weather better than we did :)
