NOTES
Well, I'm Back in The Saddle Again as Gene Autry used to sing. I really had a rough night after I did the Good Things Christmas night. I didn't get much sleep that night and couldn't eat anything Wednesday except that afternoon I managed to eat a small can of tomato soup. I drank a lot of Gatorade so I would not dehydrate. Thursday morning I was able to resume my regular eating but I did not make it to Taco Bob's for lunch. Last night I was much better but just didn't feel up to doing the Good Things. Today I went to Taco Bob's for lunch with Charley and Bill. My brother, Charley, had the same thing I had. We must have caught it from Charley's daughter-in-law and grandson who were both in bed sick when I was over there for Christmas Dinner on Monday. Anyway I seem to be in good shape now until I have another bout of sickness sometime. I do have to take three pain pills every day for my back but that is a chronic thing. I really want to thank everyone who sent me an e-mail. I received too many to list but I do appreciate every one of them. I came by the post office after lunch today and then took my nap with Tony. It has been cold the past three days so I have been staying inside most of the time. The cats also stay in a lot but have to go out occasionally to check things out. I put their treats outside today at 4:30 p.m. but didn't linger with them.
The cats are fine and as I mentioned they have been staying in a lot. Lucy the stray comes in to eat but she just won't stay inside very long. Rascal is now asleep in the recliner. I have seen all of the cats today.
Have a pleasant Saturday!
I will see you next time, In Christian Love, Everett.
