** Hump Day!

well, it is sunny again! although it is about 10 degrees cooler than normal, the longer i can keep from turning on my AC, the better!

some sad news to report..."meggy" wasn't able to keep her non smoking quest alive! after 36 hours smoke-free, she caved! ugh..it is very hard to quit smoking, actually harder than cocaine and heroine. i know this from my days as a research assistant at johns hopkins! anyway, hopefully she will get back on the wagon soon...she knows that i am here to help in anyway that i can.

hard to believe that next monday is memorial day! it seems that a few months have slipped by me and also the weird weather makes it feel more like early april instead of late may. i don't have anything "on the calendar" but i know that i plan to be at home doing something constructive! if a BBQ is somehow in the mix, than so be it. i am not driving too far from home though.

mick is staring at me as i type. he cracks me up! he always likes to know exactly where i am and follows me all over the house. i think that is the "boxer" part of him. the "lab" part of him is good at relaxing on the floor in multiple places for 15-20 minutes at a time. he sometimes seems like he acts as if he is neglected...that however, couldn't be further from the truth! he gets fed regularly, bathed about every 6 weeks, treats almost daily and runs at the park...those SOB's that he "lived" with while in KY did nothing but keep him chained to a tree all year round!

maybe more later...
