If thy right eye offend thee


I guess it's going to be another grouchy day. My right eye is scratchy. Feels like a grain of sand is in it. It's amazing how tiny the scratch can be, yet it's all one can feel if it's on the eye. But there are no plans to pluck it out, as the bible would suggest.

Lots of allergy problems lately. I don't know what it is about this time of year, but suddenly the Esteemed Spouse and I both can't get enough antihistamines into us. He's going to have it even worse since he's leaving tomorrow for Louisiana to be with his mom during her surgery.

Last night on "Mental" the episode was about this guy who didn't feel "right" or something until he cut off his hand. Supposedly this is a real disorder. Ick. Didn't we formerly blame punishment for masturbation for such mental issues? Now suddenly (at least according to the show), if someone really wants to cut off a body part, he or she should be allowed to in order to "feel better"!

I was going to put up a photo today that my husband took many years ago at the Caldwell Parish Arts and Crafts Festival, but I can't locate it in my digital photo album. So much for getting organized with the photos, eh?

We're going to a dinner party at a colleague's house up in Big Rapids tonight. This gentleman is one of my favorites. He would be a perfect American-style Hercule Poirot in many ways. Observant, detail-oriented, insightful, idiosyncratic in some ways, witty.

We got younger son a GPS for his upcoming birthday. Esteemed Spouse recently bought a new one for himself, so of course, Inspector Gadget wants everyone to have one. Actually, it was my idea. It is a good idea to have something that can help if one gets lost. This new one even tells the driver if there's a big traffic problem ahead.

I had the silliest dream last night. I dreamed that my older son had said to heck with being a lawyer. He was going to go back to school and major in art. Not only is he not interested in art, I can't imagine his ever thinking that would be a viable career choice. Dreams are weird, aren't they?
