“I know they’re gonna talk about me in my absence. If its bad, am gonna hear it through grapevine.”

I promise I will be back which is actually ironic because my back is so bad today. Because I just took something for it, I need to hurry and do my errands while I can. There are only three errands so I should be back anon.

My Ghanaian students would have said, “I went to your house and met your absence.” Please do return as I’d hate to miss your visit. Any requests for music today? I toss that out as a bit of an apology.

See you, sort of, in a bit.

    First things first: take care of yourself and take care of your business and I’ll be here when you get to it.

    Just some quick suggestions:
    World Cup USA-Belgium today. A Jacques Brel song for Belgium and a nice patriotic US song?
    Back songs? Laurie Berkner_The Cat Came Back

    Please notice that I don’t suggest Joe Jackson with Iggy Pop It Don’t Mean A Thing because the swing is bad for your back 😉
    Don’t hurry and get well!

      Birgit, as I told my chum in Brussels I consider the Belgian team to be chocolate eating, beer swilling, Tintin loving Walloons…much appreciated since he is Flemish

      Now let’s see if Switzerland can hold their ground against the odious Argentinians

      And Assou-Ekotto should never play for Tottenham again.

      Birgit,
      Okay, I like the Brel idea and know I have some in my files. Thanks for taking care with my back!

    Hurry back. (Sorry.) It’s too hot out there to be doing errands and in pain. Well, it’s too hot up here, anyway, even with a breeze.

    I’m sorry your back is bothering you again. I hope the drugs help!

    • katry's avatar katry Says:

      Thanks, sprite. They did for a while.

      I only had a couple of pills left over from when I had the toothache. My doctor and I need a chit-chat about medication and my back.

    You’re back!
    Your back!
    Sorry it is acting up again. I hope it eases up quickly.

    I took the dogs for a walk at 6 AM again. It’s very cool and quiet at that hour. Then I put them in the jeep and went to get iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich.
    Piki Dog was very good about staying in his seat without a restraining strap and he didn’t bark at the disembodied voice at Dunkin Donuts. Rocky is always good.
    They are now flopped in various breezy places around the house.

    It’s too hot and sticky here to do much.

    Rest your back and enjoy the day as best you can.

      Hi Caryn,
      I got back later than I expected and just in time as my back was starting to get bad again. I took a nap in the cold air as did Miss Gracie so I do feel better. She, however, is now driving me crazy ringing her bells to go out then standing outside hoping I’ll notice she wants to come back inside the house.

      I have the soccer match on and they have started with the anthems. I always wish I knew the words to the other country’s song.

      My will do nothing to aggregate my back!
