My regular doctor wasn't concerned yesterday when he saw I had this developing, and said to take it easy for a couple of days to get over it. Well, that's exactly what's happening.

I think I have the Irish Rep’s Finian’s Rainbow. Is Malcolm Gets on that?

Elmore, do any of your cats eat plants? If so, you may want to gift the amaryllis to someone else. It could be poisonous if ingested.

You don’t have to do anything to it. No water necessary. Just turn it a quarter turn each day, so it grows straight.

WalMart looked like a war zone this morning.

And there were no small bags for produce ANYWHERE.....and it was taking 3 people to add tomatoes to the display.....so I couldn't get anywhere near it anyway.

I have 1/2 onion, 2 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, and one bell pepper.  So I should be good until next week sometime.

Dollar (25) Tree doesn't open until 9 a.m. now - so my shopping schedule was disrupted.

I usually go to WalMart about 7:30 a.m. and I am done by 8:15 a.m. and then I would head to D 25 T which opened at 8 a.m.

NOT ANY MORE.

I've never had a plant live long enough to be eaten! Thanks for the tip.

I have awakened and arisen. 

I have coffee'd.

I have caught up on Facebook and posted ripostes and some appropriate observations.

I watched the final hour of the Joe-less and Mika-less "Morning Joe" which the wonderful Willie Geist was hosting.  He is by far the best professional on that show!

I have checked my calendar and observed that my heating system will get a checkup today.  Supposedly between 10 and 11, but it's 10:33 now, so I don't know if they will be on time or even arrive.  Appointment was made 6 weeks ago.

I have an energy reserve available to me and a resolve to do something majorly constructive today.

It will happen in two rooms:  My "office" (which I have never used, but which my mom did) and my kitchen which is next door to the "office".  Things need to be gotten rid of and things need to be shifted and rearranged.  I have the energy to start it off, but not certain how long it will be until I need a re-charge.

Lots of washing machine action is needed.  I have put off things for two weeks and now have at least two loads of clothing and sheets to wash.

I just want to go to bed

Is there, perhaps, a job testing mattresses available somewhere?

I have often pondered whether a "sleep modeling job" was possible.  My luck would be to get such a job and then develop insomnia.

All the local eateries have been closed since Saturday, but they are all open as of today.

I have a hankering for some fried chicken.

It's another mostly cloudy day in Johnston SC. 

Sigh.

A few rays of sunshine broke through yesterday afternoon and it felt like things would clear up.  Alas, after about an hour, the breaks closed up and ugly gray ushered us into dusk.

We need a respite.
