I’ve been on and off with my undiagnosed problem and have narrowed it down to muscle spasms in my back that make it seem that I can’t breathe. Well – muscles – I can deal with those.

Meanwhile, it is draining to be constantly struggling so I start things and go to do something else and forget what I started. I got really tired, so I decided on a nap, forgetting that I had put on a pot of water so I could hard boil the last three legs from the old box and the water boiled away. Ed got to it before the pot scorched but was upset with me. Go figure. He called out in a loud voice interrupting what had started to be a nothing nap but had morphed into a deep sleep. What can I say. I was really undone.

I got up and it was too late to take the bike ride I had planned, so I started dinner. I gave up on the eggs and put them back into the refrigerator because I needed that same pot for the potatoes.

So later, Ed, who snacks, went and got what he thought was a cooked egg. Then he did this howl-of-rage thing that he does and I am still laughing as I imagine that moment when he realized yes, this is a raw egg. Tomorrow I will remind him that I draw an “x” on eggs when they are cooked.

Honest.
