Heat and bugs- bad combo

This is Porter so sad because he didn't want to take a nap. Well, that's only part of it. He went to the doctor and got his 15 month imminunizations and also had his first dentist appointment. Turns out that this poor little guy is getting all of his teeth all at once. So his is in extreme pain. But on the bright side, he will only have to do it once and I will only have to deal with his screaming for a couple of months. Hallelujah!!

I went to the pediatrist today and it turns out that the reason that my left ankle is so swollen is because I have tendonitis. I've had tendonitis billions of times when I used to run, but it was always in the achilles tendon. This time it's on the side of my foot. Dr. Rogers told me that it's more common in women. He gave me this stuff called blue gel formula to fub on it when it starts to hurt. It's the weirdest stuff ever. It's blue but it's really light weight and dissolves almost instantly. It's really soothing and it smells like icy-hot. I also scheduled my surgery for my right foot for the 5th of October. I thought I should get it done before the first snow fall.

Ew, the bugs are so bad this year. We keep saying that we are going to cut down our tree, but we never end up having enough time and it is also the only shade that we have in our yard. But with the tree down the bugs would go away. They are boxelder bugs which don't seem to have any purpose on this earth except to annoy me. They are everywhere!! I come home and can count at least 10 on my ceiling during the day. So then I spend the time to squish every single one and then there are more. It's like in Arachnephobia with the spiders- you kill one and they multiply. Bugs me so bad!!! Stupid boxelder tree. It also doesn't help that it has been really really hot. Funny story- we have a bug zapper for the night time. Well, today I was so sick of the bugs that I turned it on in the middle of the afternoon. I swear I killed so many bugs. I heard zapping for a good minute. I was laughing so hard. I should do that more often.

All I wish for right now is a little rain. "Is it too much to ask for a little precipitation?!" Watch Evan Almighty for that one. LOL.
