Pain is fascinating, except when it's personal.

It was endlessly so today. Woke up at 7 and laundered the bath mats. Had no idea when SuM and S would make it home from their vacay. At least I finally went through the mail and found "I" had mail in the pile. It was yet another affirming card from Marilyn, including Buddha's instruction to not fear turning the page to the next chapter of our lives. Oops - I now have TWO cards to acknowledge.

They returned mid-afternoon along with the menagerie of cats. Naturally, Ce-Ce was trying to invade my space. And speaking of "invasion". well, let's do the math: 3 women and only 1 functional bathroom, namely mine.

So, back to the pain. It was so severe, but paradoxically my vision improved over the evening and now it's excellent! Sigh. I watched my meagre ration of Saturday's TV offerings and otherwise just stayed in bed trying to find a comfortable position. None was forthcoming. Sigh again. Just about to take my pills and hope for the best.
