Good morning. Rain today. It’s supposed to clear tomorrow so I’ll get out on the patio and get busy, after I get back from the doctor.

I’m still very tired and still have the chills. I don’t know about the nausea because I haven’t eaten, yet, but I know one thing for sure: I haven’t been this sick in four years. :o[

Good morning. I’m sorry you’re still poorly. We’re having our usual struggle to get the children dressed in anything that doesn’t look like yard-sale freebies - “Since nobody would buy this, even for a quarter ...” - and that’s with Bill and Tom not here!

That stinks. What time (in your time zone) should I phone you to get your bank information? And did you get a food box from your grandmother? You should email her and say thanks!

Thanks. I shouldn’t complain because I’m alive.

I am sorry to hear this! May you get better soon.

Cool one today. Dry, but might get up to 50.

Was afraid of oversleeping so I set an alarm, but got sufficient sleep and was up in time. Already checked in my for flight tomorrow; a few minutes' packing and I'm ready to go.

LoM comes home late this afternoon.

I thought it felt chill. Thin rime of frost out there.

Yup. *\;^)

Won't be for long, though. Time to get ready for church... then go.

Thanks again, but I keep thinking if I complain too much too often, I’ll be personna non grata and have to assume the fetal position, turn my mattress pad up to 9 and suck my thumb while hugging my blannie.

I’ll try not to complain so often. It’s just a relapse of CFIDS, and will eventually become a remission. There’s just nothing I can do in the meantime. :o|

Yes, the betta does his threat display at things he finds interesting enough to investigate.
He usually hides out in the shady back of his tank, hovering just out of sight, waiting for something to move close enough for him to come charging out at.

Red walls, your fish would be rather amused.

What do you have in the tank with your betta?

Fish fish has in his aquatic domain a plant, a heater, and his filter intake.
He hides behind the plant just to the left of teh heater out of sight.

No other fish? No snail? (cleaner) No crab? (bottom feeder)

I suspended my phone in preperation for getting underway, just in case it actually happens.
Email me. CG systems are secure enough to not worry about it.

You email me - I need your checking account number and your routing number. That’s the other number on the bottom of your check. Or I could have your Federal refund mailed to you here and deposit it in your account, I suppose. I’ll pay your $9 or so to North Carolina.

Make sure you get online with USAA and let them know they can’t telephone you. And email your grandmother!

Speaking of grandmothers, Betty broke her pelvis in a fall on Friday night. She’s going to be laid up for quite a while, so keep her in prayer.

And I got a letter from Lorna, she says hey. She’s learned to rebuild and repair electric motors for a new career. I’ll send her your address, maybe you’ll get a note while you’re at sea.

Ugh.

Home again. Alarm sounds in 12 hours to start my journey. Taking care of a little work business before I turn to final packing.

"Ugh.

Home again."

Hello yourself. Adding to your list of languages, I see.
(Although I'm not sure that's authentic American Indian lingo.)

It's finally dark enough here that I can stop doing yardwork. I've already taken my aspirins.

Now back to my reading. (Now that it's dark. Who says there's not a bright side to the nuclear troubles in Japan? How else would I have glow-in-the-dark books?)

I get the feeling that Fish Fish would try to devour anything that came within biting distance.
He already tried to eat my index finger.
If he were the size of an Oscar, I’d be missing my hand.
