Saturday... in These titles mean nothing.

Mid afternoon. Kids didn’t come down this weekend. John is working on his remodeling project and there is just a bit left to do. It’s their first weekend after the play (2 weeks ago) and the basketball tournament (1 week ago) so I suppose they were happy to just rest up.

Katie was the munchkin barrister in Wizard of Oz and Deb was active behind the scenes. Does anyone remember Katie playing Toto years ago? Will’s team did pretty well, I don’t remember the details.

John’s been making what I’d call a guest/fourth living room to be used as a guest room in the basement of his house. They had to have the washer and dryer moved, and the he put in dry wall - which is funny because that’s what his company does but John is generally white collar-ish so doesn’t get hands-on experience. He had his guys tape it for him. I hope they were kind to his efforts.

The reason the house has four living rooms (now) is that it has one attached to kitchen on main floor, one in a ‘three-seasons’ room that was mighty cold when I visited over New Years and one on the lower level, and now John’s project. It’s not a huge house and I’m not bragging.

I’ve been kind of sick this week so it’s just as well I’m not having company. I seem to have piled up all the maladies along with a cold I think I caught at the writers’ group. Yeah, that makes sense doesn’t it?

I decreased my prednisone from 8 to 7 mg on Tuesday and that makes me feel a bit odd too. And then on top of everything my asthma decided to peek out of its hidden lair. I’ve been using my inhaler for the first time in a year.

I haven’t been going for my early morning walks with Joana all week - though I did see a beautiful red-striped sunrise out the window this morning on my way back to bed.

I am feeling better though and expect to be back on the road one of these days. Gracie is pretty lively. She is a amazing dog. But you know that.
