Rough day...any day but Wednesday and I would have stayed home. Up most of the night feeling yucky. Got all my corrections finished by 1pm and had to throw in the towel. That only left the girls with one task that I usually do. Came home and went to bed. Going back there in a bit.

You still busy as a one armed paperhanger? Everybody healthy all at once?

Insanity isn’t all that entertaining in real life.

Novelty wears off very quickly.

Thanks...sleep seems to be the need. That and Alka-Seltzer seem to be a good combo. I’m off to try some crackers with tomato soup.

I didn’t have doggie chocolate calls but we had several today.

We have been over a few times.

The night has caught up with me..it’s time to run.

Night Kathy,
