Hi All!

Long day here. First I messed up my alarm clock and instead of going off at 7:02, I woke up when it read 8:26!! (CJ Let one of our cats outside and that woke me up!).

Good thing my clock is 24 minutes fast and I usually hit the snooze 3 times, huh?

CJ drove me, I made it there for my 9:30 class. School went well, we went out for lunch/supper (nice quesadillas!), did some grocery shopping and came home.

I headed outside to tackle some of the plants that got killed in the frost. Yard was looking rather scraggly...

But I weeded, and trimmed and cleared it all up. I artfully clipped the leaves surrounding my remaining chinese lanterns so they show quite vividly...very October!

It was an hour and a half out there...tomorrow it's supposed to go up to 22! Um...that's about 74?

I plan to finish off the yard (after I finish one exam, and prep my lectures), and dry some of my herbs.

While I was teaching, CJ picked up some more paint samples for the rest of the living room and is talking about wallpapering the dining room next weekend!

Now for the delicate of nature, skip the rest (no it's not lewd or lascivious!)

Maybe Ellie??

I had a "spell" after dinner last night. Couldn't finish eating actually and it was just some mac and cheese with tuna on the side. Pains in my abdomen, some nausea, and MAJOR burping...I mean constant for over an hour! ...also a lot of back pain.

Here's my dillemma...this could easily be intestinal (remember my woes in that arena!)...but KD and tuna is not exactly the most difficult stuff to digest!

It could also be my kidney...it's been sore of late, and I ALWAYS confuse the symptoms of those two.

Now here's what I thought of last night. What if it's neither of the above? I have no idea how gall bladder problems present,..wouldn't that just be too much? Going... one internal organ at a time!

Nah! Don't even think it, I've had far too many real illnesses to bother with hypochondriasis!

Later

Shiny
