Guess what?

Yep, I've been up a couple of hours already.

I've watched the U.S. Open replay, done a little channel surfing, done a little internet research, and played a ton of Free-cell and golf solitaire.

I don't know why all the sudden I'm an insomniac again. I just know I am.

I don't think I had any sort of episode, other than the fact that my eye lids are mounted on spastic springs and just flung open!

My Saturday was short and sweet. Barber Shop, home, Petsmart, grocery store home.

This was my third trip to the new barber shop, but only the second time back to Nick, the barber who cut my hair. Last time I ended up in a female barber's chair and her interpretation of what I got and what I asked for were far apart! I got the feeling yesterday that Nick was still doing damage control. It's not the best work Nick has done, but I can live with it.

My stop at the house was to pick up Krl and a grocery list. I got the list.

I think what Krl and I have is a failure to communicate. Obviously she thinks I feel much better than I really feel. She told me she didn't think she could walk through the store on her cast. I told her that was O.K., we had her wheelchair in the SUV. She didn't think I needed to put her chair out and then back in the vehicle. I don't see a whole lot of difference in handling the wheelchair and handling a fifty pound bag of dog food at Petsmart. Neither is comfortable, but someone has to do it.

I think my recovery is going O.K.. If it took anytime at all I wouldn't be satisfied. My biggest problem is that the staples have begun to pull. Also, for some reason unknown to me, the incisions are becoming painful to touch. Just sitting back in the seat of my pickup is almost unbearable. I think I have five pain pills left. Believe me, I think the whole thing through before I take one.

I need to say happy Father's Day to my dad and all the other dad's out there.

I was not real satisfied with the card selection this year. It just didn't seem like any stood out. I thought I had purchased mind of a middle of the road card. Nothing mushy, but nothing funny. I guess I was looking for safe. I figure tomorrow will be a difficult day for Dad, especially on the heels of losing Freddy. I know it will be hard for Fred's family too.

I grilled half pound hamburgers last evening! In my books they were pretty good. I figure we will fire up the grill again today. I bought a trimmed brisket half yesterday. I suppose the worst thing about buying the groceries is that I am setting the menu and if Krl doesn't go she has no idea what I was thinking.

Whatever you do today, have a day!

FATHER, help us through this day!
