Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...today went really well, the best in a long time. A little homework Monday night, more Tuesday night made today go well. I, me, actually got all my corrections done with an hour to spare before we cut checks. It was nice not to be pushing frantically right up to the deadline.

How was your day? Feeling a bit better? Relaxing yet?

Feeling better tonight than I have felt the last several days, thanks! I started on a seven day course of Levaquin today. I was able to work today - put in a full day. I was worried in the afternoon that I would not make it through the day. My back and neck tightened up and my hand (arthritis) started bothering me. Had to get up and walk around for a while. Feeling better now - I think the Levaquin is already working.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...good lessons today? Sun?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home via Arby’s on a mission for my folks.

My Mom wants to reinstate their tradition of eating “out” on Thursdays. (My Dad went out and brought dinner back.) Since my Dad can’t drive, it is up to me.

She brought me a coupon for Arbys last night that expires today. Thus we start on a Wednesday. LOL!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Luv!

That photo you posted earlier was precious! Hope you're having a good evening!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!
