Amazing what I do to keep my mind off the news. Here in Brownsville a couple butchered their 3 little children and in our city someone dumped a new born baby boy in a school dumpster! Is it a wonder I do not want to read or watch news?

As I told my regular journal visitors today, I tangled with a Texas insect, probably a scorpion, yesterday. Walking to put water in the butterfly bath near the stump of the mimosa when a dagger hit the outside of my big toe right at the joint.

I have been able to walk around today and only early a.m. did I take a pain pill and atarax. So again today has been a 'snoozy' one for me. In fact I feel like bed now at 9:35 p.m.

What I wonder is will they take my donated blood tomorrow or had I best hang on to it as my husband thinks I should.
