Hot sun, Bison, Weeping wounds, Luna bars, & trails

I thought my title would maybe be enticing. Okay, maybe minus the weeping wounds. I couldn't think of a catchy title. That's all I've got today. Those 5 items have consumed my life this week.

Hot sun

• This morning when I was working in the garden at 7 am...it was already 87 degrees.
• My car thermometer also read 91 degrees F @ 8 pm while I was leaving work last night.(sun was down, too)
• My flowers are really angry. They are currently revolting.
• Tomatoes like the hot sun. As do my very voluptuous summer squash plants.
• My grass is pist off.
• Abby is also not happy with this heat. 100+ degrees is only okay if you're in a lake...or perhaps a pool.

Bison

• I came home to quite a treat last night. Our grocery store had a sale on Bison meat.
• He looked up a recipe for "Gluten Free Bison Burgers". Which warmed my heart in more ways than one
• They had: gouda cheese, wild rice, bison meat, garlic, spices....served with a garnish of this special BBQ mayo - on a bed of spinach.
• Yum. I would share a more detailed recipe..but I didn't make it ;)

Weeping wounds

• I realized that I have spent more time this week wrapping this yucky, cellulitis, weeping, leg wound this week than I spent with my husband.
• I had the same 4 patients for four 13 hour shifts in a row.
• You know how you sometimes get really sick of spending too much time with the same person? Yeahhhh..............
• I'm excited to be hanging out with my husband at 6 pm tonight...and NOT wrapping a leg with kerlix
• Speaking of wounds...since I've gone gluten free..............My leg rashes are gone! (Now I just have white scars..which will heal I hope)

Luna Bars

• Luna GF protein bars have been my God-sent this week to give me energy. I am surprisingly impressed with them. Or maybe I just get so hungry that anything would taste good at that point.
• I have become a total protein junky in the past few weeks. Hard boiled eggs & protein shakes have been my F.O.C. (food of choice)

Trails

• I've been doing a lot of running around my house/neighborhood lately, and because of that - I have to run on the "non-existent-shoulder" of the road. Which means I've been running in rocks & sand.
• This causes one's calves to burn like a scorched marshmallow on a stick.
• I use marshmallow, b/c that's how my legs feel afterwards.

Well, I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend.

I would like to make a loud shout-out to my sister Lisa, who took her CFA exam yesterday. She has studied extremely diligently and has had to work with a CRAZY schedule for the past 5 months. And now she's done with a big stepping-stone mountain in her carreer!! I am so proud of you, Lisa! You are awesome!!
