Might as well be me right? Of course I have absolutely nuttin’ to carry on about in the OP other than I am up and caffienatin’. Soon I shall have brekkies (cereal and toast methinks) and then go about another excitatin’ day of job huntin’ and whatever. Tonight is men’s night at the church house. I have steaks marinatin’ already and there is beer chillin’ in the beerator. All in all, a typical day at da cave. So, what are y’all up to this fine day? ---

Hi! Good morning! Me first! I’m giving two talks at my daughter’s middle school today. Wish me luck- groups of children scare me! 🙂 ---

I’m reasonably sure their teachers will prevent them from any attempts at climbing your tower to free you, **Soapy**. **swampy** , that sounds like a very dry breakfast 😛 I should be writing courses… ---

You should buy some carrots and sneak one into the chiropractor’s office. Then when he starts bending you funny, snap one in half. ---

Good morning; I’m at work too, and double caffeinated on a Monday morning. Thank you so much, **Annie** , for the kind words and esp. for the well wishes for my Dad; still keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. Two weeks from today I should be having my cataract surgery on my left eye! I woke up extra early today; have an appt. with my primary care doctor to get ready for the surgery. Hope she gives me the okey doke. That’s all I got - plus my eyes are so tired right now. It hurts now to try to read things, in particular on the computer. Blargh! ☹ Enjoy your Monday. ---

It’s a lovely gray cloudy day up here in the mountains. We spent yesterday picking up some firewood from the woods beside Irish Brother’s house and then we went for a short hike before going back to Irish Brother’s to get Culinary Boy’s victim’s comp papers notarized. I love knowing a notary. 🙂 Today I plan to do as little as possible until I get the car back this afternoon and then it’s time for a library trip. If anyone’s looking for something to read, I wholeheartedly recommend [Big Trouble](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/893731.Big_Trouble) by Dave Barry. My favorite part is the battle between Roger the Dog and the Enemy Toad that eats his food. **Herbs** , hooray for recovering your sight soon! I remember when my mom got cataract surgery I was surprised at how her eye color changed–blue instead of cloudy gray-blue. ---

Thank you so much, and YAY! And good luck! Hope you get the all clear. It’s raining. It’s Monday. And The Carpenters are traipsing through my head. Not pretty. Love you all! ---

Finally catching up on last week… [QUOTE=Soapy] Running into a rough patch here. Don’t know why I’m so blue these days, but I can’t seem to shake the feeling. I feel like I just want to crawl into bed and run away from home both at the same time. [/QUOTE] A big “Me too!” ☹ I think it’s the changing season and not seeing sunshine. I just want to sleep, and I’m having a really hard time getting excited/happy about anything. ☹ ☹ ---
