It must be the weather

Today is day 8 and Candace and I had blood work and ultrasounds. We both had them scheduled for this morning. At my blood work appt. they finally realized that they had not been charging me the "stat" fee. It is $40 extra for stat blood work that is not medically indicated! GEEZ! While they were trying to get that figured out the clock was tick tick ticking away and I needed to get to my next appointment. I scheduled the appointments an hour apart just so I wouldn't run into issues with being late. I finally told them look I got to go I have another appt, charge me what you need to so I can go! I called Candace on the way to the next place(which thankfully was right around the block). Her blood work and ultrasound went great this morning but she has been suffering from some unexplained abdominal pain. We are all hoping it is not a looming appendicitis. We didn't get to talk long because like I said the next clinic was just around the block.
My ultrasound went smooth but my lining was 8-9 mm which is just to thick. I also had a 15mm cyst but Chris said that they are not concerned about it at all because of where I am at in my cycle BUT they are concerned about my lining. I need to shed more of my lining so they are putting me on progesterone for the next 5 days hoping to induce a blood flow so I can shed more of the lining.

Candace had an appt with her regular doctor this afternoon to follow up about the abdominal pain. They want her to have a CT scan but it was near the end of the day and she isn't feverish. Normally they would schedule it for the next day but it's the 4th. Candace was going to go up to her parents lake house tomorrow but considering the condition that might be looming and what happened the last time they were up there and needed to use the emergency services there Alex doesn't want to go. It was actually the first thing I thought of when she mentioned that they were planning on going up there and so I completely understand why they are now planning on staying home. It's not my story and maybe Candace will post about it at some point but I will say that her last visit to that hospital resulted in a very devastating loss for the both of them.

Top that all off with the fact that I am losing my voice. I sound awful! I really think it is all the mold spores from the monsoons that have been coming through lately. Who would have ever thought monsoons in Texas;)
I snapped this picture yesterday when the skies opened up and dumped on us.
I feel like the land scape will never dry out. Even if it stopped raining for a whole week I would still have puddles in my back yard because there is just no where for the water to go. The ground is too wet to soak up any more water. Can you guess what is in the forecast for the rest of the week?
My poor kids have been stuck in the house for what seems like forever! We have been renting movies and last week I took them to the movies and paid a baby sitter to stay with Lance. I wish we had some more plans and fun things we could do but alas this weather is screwing up the summer terribly. So I will blame all the faults in our cycle on the weather as well... someone has to be the fall guy right?
