        Doesn't that sound good!  You can tell where my head is this morning.  Food!  I had shredded wheat and bran with a banana this morning.  I plan of slim fast for lunch and  chicken fajita's for supper.  I have my day planned out.

    My son had a terrible night.  I checked on him a couple of times during the night and he didn't get much sleep.  Finally he told me his foot was throbbing.  The dressing had gotten very tight from swelling and his foot was killing him.  I loosened the ace wrap so hopefully it will feel better and added another blanket.  His pain pills aren't helping at all.  I am not sure what else they would give him with his allergies but I will call the doctor later.    Maybe even darvocet but I think he has had tylenol with codiene before and it helped.  Anyway he is really miserable.  I do know where he is at this morning.  I have had so many surgeries I know how it is when the meds don't help the pain.

   Well, I am taking my tired body out to the patio set and drink my coffee and look for photo ops.  I don't feel like I got enough sleep even though I slept 8 hours.
