Beck, I think they’re Brussels sprouts. Glad the doc came in. I take it they have you on IV antibiotics?
I’m feeling so much better now. I don’t know why.l This whole disease is a mystery to me.
I spent the entire day on the phone. Kids, siblings, cousin, niece…not how I planned the day, but I’m feeling blessed nonetheless. One call was upsetting. My brother, who’s always had the bests vision and has been healthy, has macular degeneration. I’m pretty upset. 
Happy National Sleep-Deprived Eve! I’m figuring many people can sleep in today. Tomorrow’s when the time change will really hit them. When are we going to quit this nonsense and quit changing the time?

Miss Owl**, I can’t wait to see photos! I love that name! May you enjoy many years of feline bliss. 
Swampy, glad the baby shower was fun. it seems like baby showers are evolving from the genteel, pink-and-blue, women-only affairs to a more relaxed, any-gender event. I think it’s great!
flyboy, I love to cook, but there were many times during my marriage when I wished I’d married someone who refused to even make Jell-o because “It’s too complicated.” Both my kids are good cooks who married even better ones.
