Porch sitting

I have a new appreciation for porch sitting. it's so relaxing. just talking with people, playing games...visiting with people, friends, that pass by. It's relaxing.


this is week 4 that i have been up here at alvin Crest Conferences and working in the kitchen. Just over a month to be specific. The summer has FLOWN by...it's already half over. it feels like I just got here. time flies when you'e having fun...i guess.

I've been having problems though. About a week ago i woke up with my glands swollen behin my ears. they've been swollen ever since. So 2 days ago i went and saw the nurse. She said that i should be fine and to just drink water...so i did.
After i saw the nurse, i was walking and talking (not a good idea) and i fell into manhole. one leg in, one leg out kinda. it was WEIIIIRD. Fortunately there were people around to help me.

Unfortunately there were people around. It was REALLY embarrassing.

So anyway...the next morning, i woke up and my hands and feet were swollen. i don't know why. but they were. So it's been really hard to walk and do stuff with my hands. I ended up going into fresno yesterday (which, by the way, I imagine hell to feel like) for a doctor's appt. they drew blood, i got results today and everything's normal.

Weird. So i don't know what i'm going to do. my feet don't fit into any of my closed toed shoes besides my crocs so that's kind of depressing.

Sunday was my grandpa's birthday. I miss him. It was a month on the 3rd of july since he passed. Time flies.

If you think of it...pray for endurance for my kitchen team. We're under a lot of pressure right now and are all really stressed, leading to short tempers. And we don't want to take our emotions out on the food!


I hope all is well with the outside world...if you ever want topop into the calvin Crest bubble, feel free!
