I really don't like talking about aches and pains but yesterday Ted and I both were miserable with arthritis
pain. It dawned on us that we hadn't been taking our Aleve.
We take the generic naproxen sodium. We took two last night and two this morning and we are almost pain free. We
had no idea how effective it really is.

I have stocked up for the cruise on dramamine, immodium and naproxen sodium so I feel we are ready for almost any eventuality. I don't expect to get nauseated but it is
hurricane season and an ounce of prevention makes me feel more comfortable.

This has been a lazy, lazy day. I sayshayed around in my gown until noon and then got dressed and went shopping for drugstore items and groceries. It was nice to sleep late too although Rex always puts his cold nose on me when he wants to go outside. I can't seem to teach him that Ted
is available in the mornings too.

I am looking forward to reading Dottie's book. If we buy now we can get first editions. I got a lot of books at the
library but can't seem to get settled down to read. I
painted a larger size of the flower painting and like it so
much better than the one I did in class. I am going to
choose a really simple landscape for my next class. I would
like to paint the photo of the canyon that loose robes put
on Laura's blog but it didn't come out very well when I
printed it out.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend.
