Last night we had eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and toast for supper. We don’t eat big these days, so it was small amounts of each. We worked together to make it. Ron started the meats and did the potatoes, I did the toast and eggs. But at 3 AM I woke up in distress. I was having a rather nasty allergy attack. Nose full of mucus dripping snot down my throat causing trouble breathing, cold then sweating hot, then cold, stomach cramps, which all turned into stuff coming out the top and bottom. Needless to say I was up for the morning. As I sat here having my first cup of coffee and feeling rather miserable, I did not really want to get into anything requiring heavy thinking. I had a bunch of open Joe My God posts so I read them and waded into the comment section. I found a couple great memes I liked, and once I started picking them out, I just did a bunch of them. I am feeling much better and ready to start my day. Hugs. Scottie
