This recovery from the eye and sinus infection is progressing, but slowly and day-by-day. The Augmentin pills (2 a day) have really messed with my interior. I won't go into detail about that. In addition to the pill meds I have to take four eye-drops each day of an antibiotic liquid. I must continue these until the bottles are empty.

Tomorrow (Saturday the 27th) I will be gone all day. I am in a one-day art show and sale down in Columbus, Ohio, about 115 miles south of here. I'm happy that the nasty weather held off and passed as rain yesterday and during the early night. The temperatures dropped from the low 50F to about 23F from 9 last night to 3 AM. The water on the roads froze but not too bad.

Everything is dry again but very very cold.

I had a premonition that if I took down my remaining orchid painting it would sell. So I added it to the other 8 paintings which now rest in the trunk of my car, ready to transport. I get premonitions and sometimes they come true. Last night I also dreamed clearly that I had a check for $730.15 in my hand. Looking forward to that. Interesting fact: The sum prices of two particular paintings, plus the state sales tax equals that figure. Tell me it is not the medications.

I always say when I am leaving for a day or so, "Satchel! You're in charge." He is ten and my senior cat. He's the gray one. I know it doesn't mean much to the cats, but he craves and enjoys affirmation.

It doesn't matter because they nap all day.
