Hello, it's me, Cranky

I woke up with a cold.

My husband gave it to me.

He could have given me a bracelet or a scarf or even a new Thing to hold my hair up but no, he gave me his cold.

So I am sitting here, sniffly, grumpy, cranky and headachy ... I could be the 8th Dwarf !

It is too hot out. Pup walks down to the park with us, he and I hugging the wall, where there is shade. We get to the park, I let him off his leash , he sits down and stares at us...Waiting until we take him back home to the air conditioning.
All the shutters are closed, the house is dim and shadowy. There is the dark shape of a pup lying across the doorway ... I gave up long ago, ever thinking I could sneak past him.

Tomorrow I go to the surgeon. I will see if this little spot on my leg will be quickly and easily removed without a Big Deal.

I want to get it over with and go shopping. Yes, I have my priorities.

The relatives will be here a week from tomorrow. We can't wait!

Pup hasn't been told yet. He will be happy/sad.

Happy to see them, sad because he will be home alone more.

Tonight I am not cooking, nor are we going out to pick up something. My husband will order something. Probably Chinese food.

Ensuring that I appear at the surgeons, swollen and puffy and looking my worst.

Not sure how that will affect things. Maybe I will just keep my sunglasses on the whole time.

Here is a nice photo of the neighborhood.
