--Iowa is still having issues with his stomach. He has another appointment with his primary care next week. I told him to request a referral to a specialist. Then he later tells me that when they did blood work at the ER his white blood cell count was high. Family doc wasn’t concerned.

Uh, I realize that could be elevated due to stress or fighting an infection but it could also be related to some really serious things too. My confidence level in this doc is zero.

--The old man that lives across the road from us said that whenever he raises his garage door Sarge comes running over. Tom gives him a treat. Sarge takes it back to our place and lays down in his favorite spot and eats it. About an hour later Sarge goes back to visit Tom and hangs out around his place until about 3 until he comes back home and sits and waits for me.
--Everybody tells us we need to get some pigs to pack the pond so it will seal. Add that to our list of projects.

--Trying to psyche myself up to get appropriately dressed and head in to town for a run. It’s cold, windy and misty. I’m fine with that kind of weather but I typically handle it much better if I get caught in it as opposed to having to start out running in it.
--Coffee with MJ and Ana this weekend.
--Need to reserve a car and book hotel rooms for FL trip. I’ll need to wait until 30 days before on a couple of the hotel rooms because I’m going to use my points and that’s all the further I can book ahead.
