July; Poison Ivy; Gas Prices

Ok so I was thinking about it, and July 2008 has been the most intense, insane, crazy month I have ever lived! I mean looking back, the emotional insanity that I went through, and how things jolted up and down, left and right for me was unbelievable. My life has completely changed in many ways because of last month. In the beginning of July I had no idea what was in store for me. And as I exited the month, I was finally starting to fully recover from all that had just happened. Man, intense. I am grateful that I have the family that I have, and that now life is to what the new normal is for me after last month :-D I'm very optimistic as to what is coming for me in the near and long term future.

So unfortunately I got poison ivy last week and it is just getting really bad now. It's especially prevalent on my right foot, around my ankle and up my leg, and then there's another patch on my upper right leg. I guess there is a down side to hiking on my lunch break at work! Lol.

And finally, the subject I'm obsessed about, and will touch on many many times to come, gas prices lol. So oil has "plummeted" to around $114 a barrel. And in doing so, you would think that gas prices would too right? Well they did. I took this photo of gas prices at #3.49 a gallon last week. The only problem is oil prices have fallen more than $10 since that picture was taken, and gas prices have actually increased to $3.60 today. Now, I'm not really gonna complain because when the price was $3.49 here it was $3.75+ everywhere else. So I'm not complaining. And still, what it is now is still way cheaper than everywhere else. Why we have the cheapest fuel, I don't know. But I sure as heck don't mind!
