Today we cleaned the garden shed. The former owner left it and the garage chock full of crap. I avoided anything that might be harboring rodent life or feline dead. I moved large pieces of furniture and swept. Paul dealt with anything mysterious. Do you think he uncovered anything scary?

No.

Backing up I stepped on something that crunched. When I looked down I saw a little dried mouse lying on its back, paws in the air. Because it was not squishy I managed not to freak, but come on! It wouldn’t be the giant man with size 14 feet and no fear who steps on the last nastiness the shed had to offer…

Tomorrow we are tackling the garage. Yippee!

What would you give to never ever see another picture of TomKat?

1. I’m back.

2. Still having those headaches.

3. Tried to call the doctor today to schedule a physical and the office was closed. Must call back tomorrow. I’m asking my body, Are you going for some kind of record? If so, there are better, less painful, ones we could try.

He passed.

Even with a little sit on the highway near four this morning due to a huge pile up, we made amazing time.

We were nearly side-swiped by a BMW somewhere in Eastern Pennsylvania; I was having a little trouble staying in my lane. For a while there Paul and I were trading off driving every two miles because we kept having narcoleptic fits. As Paul had already driven the majority of the way I tried to be a hero and therefore continually struggled to stay right of the dotted line.

We got in around 9 and spent a couple hours hanging out with the husband and half the children of our hosts. When I tried to remember the last time I showered I couldn’t.

I am now fortified with coffee, a fresh bagel and a lengthy shower.

If I had the energy or inclination I could walk up to the roof and look at the Statue of Liberty.

Paul, unloading the car was tempted to say,”Howyadooin?” to a guy on the street and then realized, here, it is no joke. Matt told him if he does try it and gets a nod he’ll know he passed. I will keep you posted.
