It’s been a busy past few weeks here in the deep south. In fact, the whole month of May is going to be very busy.  My son graduated from the University of Alabama this past Friday evening, my twin daughters had their spring concert last week, and they had their awards program tonight to list a few.  I’ve got cataract surgery on Thursday, a bicycle ride that I’ll be working communication this Sunday and my daughters graduation in two weeks.  Not to mention a couple of other doctor appointments thrown in there for good measure.

I knew this month would be busy and I’m trying to build my vacation time up so I’ve been working a lot of overtime so as to not have to take personal time when taking time off.  It’s an okay plan but I’m not getting home until late and the girls have already gone to bed when I do get home.  I’ve got a week in June that I’ll be taking off to take the kids to Disney in Orlando Florida so I’ve got to have at least forty hours to be able to take off.  It will be close but I’ll make it.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Botanical Gardens, Kidney Stones, Pain, Rose, Sleep

Before I went to bed last night at 10:30 pm along with my regular diabetic meds, I took my pain meds and two ibuprofen PM pills.  I woke up around 2 am hurting like I’ve not hurt before so I got up and took another pain pill and another ibuprofen PM.  At 6:30 my wife woke me up so that I could text my boss and let him know that I wasn’t coming in.  I also took another pain pill and yet another ibuprofen PM and went right back to bed. I didn’t wake up until nearly 2pm.  I don’t recall ever sleeping that late ever.  The best thing is that I’ve been somewhat pain free since I woke up.  I haven’t had to have a pain pill since I’ve been up.  I’ve been using the strainer that the doctor gave me but I haven’t seen anything in the cup so I’m not sure if I’ve passed anything or not.  Kidney stones are not something to laugh about.  They hurt.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Botanical Gardens, CT Scan, Kidney Stones, Morphine, Pain, Pills, Rose

Kidney Stones are a pain in the a$$.  I had just left the house this morning when I started feeling the pain.  Within about thirty minutes I was hurting real bad.  I did my morning rounds and left for the doc in the box.  They ran some tests, hooked up an IV and gave me a shot of morphine.  They then sent me to the hospital for a CT scan where the found some kidney stones.  I made it fine with the morphine shot until about 5pm and then the pain hit again.  The doctor did give me a scrip for some pain pills but it’s nothing like the morphine.  I’m hoping to pass the stones soon so I can rest.

Fall has not even shown her face and yet I’ve already got a child with the Flu.  Yesterday was the water heater and today I had to take my daughter to the doctor because she kept us up all night coughing.

Two more days until the weekend!!

My internet is still down and I’m still having to go through my hotspot on my IPhone so I’ll leave my comments short.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I stayed too busy to really enjoy it but I did get to spend the time doing what I enjoyed doing.  Back to the grindstone tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone!!!

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Botanical, Flowers, Photo, Photography, Rose

Just one more day until Friday.  I get to go see my son tomorrow night.  He’ll be playing in the pep band during the gymnastic meet.  So not only will we get tosee him we’ll be able to hear him play as well.

The weather people are still forecasting snow for Monday night into Tuesday and again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.  I really hope they’re making a big deal out of nothing.  I can’t afford to be off from work so I’ll at least try to make it in if it does snow.

365 Photo Challenge, Alabama, Barefoot, Birmingham, Botanical Gardens, cold weather, Flowers, Photo Shoot, Photography, Rain, Rose, Spring, Weather

Another dreary, wet day in the deep south.  With the temps hovering in the low to mid forties and low thick clouds that hung around most of the day made this boy wish for spring even more today.  Rain is falling right now and is expected to stick around until early Saturday morning with a chance of light snow before ending.

I have a photo shoot scheduled for Saturday afternoon with a young single mom.  Nothing too fancy just some catalogue work.  I haven’t photographed anyone in quite some time.  Lately all I’ve been able to shoot are some landmarks and my pets.  I hope she isn’t afraid of some cool weather and we get some good shots.

The above photo is from the Botanical Gardens located here in the Birmingham area.  It’s free to enter and has sever genre of flowers and trees to sit and ponder things through.  I really enjoy going there when I have the time to spend.  The last time I was there I nearly had a hawk on top of me.  She was after a squirrel and I got in her way.
