Neck is still sore around the six inch incision but otherwise I'm feeling much better. Got up about 0500 this morning, read my paper with some coffee and the company of Miss Sleepy Dawg. About 0830 I went to the Dairy Queen for breakfast with the ROMEO'S (Retired Old Men Eating Out) and spent a pleasant hour with my friends coming in and out to see the scar and hoorawing me. Told them I had been in a knife fight but no one would believe me. Went to the library afterward to pick up a book I had ordered and then stopped by the "Used Bread" store. Was hungry for some chips and cookies and that's the best place to buy them locally at a much reduced price. A friend is the manager and she tells me that very little of it is returned from stores but is new stuff. Then to the vets office to ask him why Sleepy is grinding her teeth. He, and I, seem to think she does it because of frustration. It seems to happen at times she wants me to do something and I really don't want to do it, like go outside at a particular time. He advised tranks and I think we should just watch her awhile. While at the vets noted two people having coffee on their balcony at the apartments next to the vets office and recognized them as a couple I know. Stopped there and had a cuppa with them and then on home to rest. I sure like living in a smaller town, only 35K people in this one and I think I know about half of the them. Beautiful day, cool with blue skies and bright sunshine so walked around the gardens with Miz Anne and Sleepy, all had a good time enjoying the coolth and the blue skies. Hope all are having a good weekend. George
