Summer colds and allergies

What is going on? Cindy, Kate and I have spent the past three or four days trying to get the house straight for company on the weekend. Meanwhile, I have tried to keep collecting money at the office, calling people and running down payment on invoices. I must say that it has been interesting to see some real estate closings come up and actually close this month. I don't know what is happening, what is causing the bump in the business. Its nice though.

One or two of Kate's friends is coming to visit, although I am not sure they will stay with us. It is all very much up in the air at this point. I know Kate wants to take them to different places in Atlanta. I don't think she cares about showing them around Griffin. Saturday is supposed to be a little wet, but the temperature is supposed to get down to 82. That would be nice.

I can tell it is getting cooler because the air conditioning in this office is freezing me out. That is ironic since the air conditioning was not working up until last week sometime.

I feel like I have a cold. It may be allergies. I know I got up around 5:00 this morning and went into the living room. I lay down on the couch and almost immediately my sinuses started filling up. I looked around and found a little bud vase with some small flowers in it. I assumed since those were the only flowers in the area that that was what was setting me off. So I moved them to the other side of the room. I can't say that I felt that much better, but I didn't get worse.

Today the radio personalities were talking about the kind of tomatoes which were causing salmonella poisoning. I brought my mom and dad some tomatoes on Sunday and my sister immediately assumed that they were bad. No such luck. We have been eating them as they reddened up for several weeks now. They not only taste better then what you get at the grocery store but they are free. They are a little slow in ripening, but we seem to get one or two ready to eat every day.

I would like to take a nap right now. I don't think it is going to happen.
