Good morning GH. Well, its happened again. A train went by a short while ago and woke me up. No real complaints, but I just wish that I could stay asleep through what are really not loud noises. Of course, I do remember when I awoke, that I was having a dream in which we were looking out the window of a large building when a huge thunderbolt sounded and blew out the windows and through some of us into the hallway. Of course, my first concern wasn't for myself, it was for Sugar the Weather Dog. I had to search for her, find and then free her. Adam is right, as is Mary, Sugar and I are co-dependent.

Currently, the temperature on the sophisticated weather display is 28 degrees and the skies are not cloudy all night. Forgive me for that slight song reference. Of course, I can't really see anything outside the Weather Window except dark, but according to the National Weather Service, we will be seeing partly cloudy skies later today and a high temperature of 43 degrees. No precipitation until Sunday, when the chance will be 90% with a high temperature of 47 degrees.

I received my raw material for my new insoles, so I'll get to work on that later today. At the same time, I'll unpack my new wet/dry vacuum. Yes, I ended up at the big box hardware store, because once I receive the $20.00 rebate, I can spend that on anther pot for our container vegetable garden instead of just spending the extra $20.00 to make a point. Also, Mary and I were able to go to another big box retailer to pick up some needed toiletries and kitchen gadgets. So, it wasn't a wasted trip. I also went to the grocery story with Mary, and my job was to redeem all of the cans that she hates to take when she goes. Turns out that I fed in 156 cans. I kept the money for myself, sort of like doing laundry when someone leaves money in their pocket, you get to keep it.

Otherwise, I received another piece of Irish music from the Irish Jam coordinator, that I printed out and will practice today. I do like getting useful things in my email. IN about five hours, it will be time for UP w/ Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Then it will also be...Tea time prior to letting Sugar take me for a walk. I also have to go back to the grocery store to exchange some onions that Mary picked up. She went organic, but one of the onions shows some rot, so I have been asked to exchange them for regular California onions, with the hope that those will be better. A man's work is never done. So until next time, Ciao.
