Thursday morning

Lunch was chicken noodle soup and dinner was cream of chicken on buttermilk biscuits. Today, mom says we have a lot of chicken leftover for sandwiches, but I don't know if that will carry us through dinner. Today is the last day my sister Glendon gets to play at home. Tomorrow she goes back to work for half a day and puts in full days on Saturday and Sunday. I am pretty sure she won't be catching the shuttle launch tonight after midnight if it goes off. She wants her beauty sleep to be in a outdoors work mode. The coffee just warms up my insides. It is kind of like crawling under a blanket of coffee. This is kind of a weird analogy, but it is true. I taste it with every sip of coffee and feel it when the warm feeling covers me from head to toe. Have you ever pressed the panic button without knowing what you are worried about? I woke up in the dark and felt my big toe had something in it, which I though I might have somehow stumbled onto a staple and it went into my big toe. This is what I imagined without looking at my toe. I felt around my toe with my hand and discovered the staple was really just a loose toe nail hanging on to the end of my toe which I threw in the trash. The mystery was solved and life got back to normal.
