busy day . . .

[earthmother45]

Oh my gosh...what a busy day we had today! First the field nurse came and spent almost two hours going over everything with us about the new 90-day drug program and setting up the pill schedule, which involves four different pills, a different one each day, three times each day, for the first week, then going to two the next week and so on.

I can see why you imagine the sky is crying in that last one. I think you caught a phenomenon there!

Beth, look at my edit to this post! I did some research and the name of this phenomenon is Virga. It's a common thing most of us have seen before, but never knew the name of it.

Oh, I see that all the time here. I just didn't know it was called Virga. From now on, when I'm driving and I see the phenomenon, I will say, there's some Virga! The one that most looks like our's is the top one. Your's really looks like it is dripping, though. I've never seen it look quite like that.

Spectacular sunset pics!

Will call you today.

Look at my edit! There's a name for the weeping clouds.

Oh, my! Those are gorgeous!

The sunsets here are very spectacular! Unless it is quite overcast, we normally have a pretty good one every night.

Lovely skies and a unique sky in the last photo.

I'm glad that the field nurse knows her job well and can spend time explaining things. That's a long way to come for an appointment.

I meant to tell you the first time I learned about sundogs I was told it signifies a change in the weather and that I noticed the truth about that.

Kat, look at my edit to this post! I did some research and the name of the crying/weeping clouds is Virga. It's a common thing most of us have seen before, but I never knew the name of....just the beginning of rain.

Yes, sundogs: a halo occurring around the sun, an optical phenomena where light interacts with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

What a breathtaking sunset. Just colour saturation everywhere.♥

I'm glad you had everything explained carefully to you and I hope that this helps your husband.

We do have some spectacular and wild looking sunsets here. Like the sky is on fire!

So far so good with Pete. He's starting his second day of the meds and has noticed one of the side effects they said might happen, is happening....nausea. But it is mild and he said he could handle it if it doesn't get worse.
