Greetings and Salutations To One And All!

It is the third day this week that I have turned off the heat and opened a door or window.  I know it can’t last; it is March in Minnesota, for crying out loud!  I know we’ll have more snow and cold and I’ll put on my boots and ear muffs again to gear up to go outside.  It is what it is. And even though it is time for the boys’ basketball state tournament and it seems that we won’t receive the usual snow dump that is associated with that event, we’ll get it before winter is done.  You know it; I know it.  The lamb that March came in like knows it.  The lion is waiting.

Spring cleaning is coming along just fine.  I just need to remember that I can’t get it all done in one day.  I did take eight bags of books and a garbage bag of yarn to ARC yesterday. Moving anything up or down the stairs is tough since the card tables are still up to keep the little cat from puncturing the furniture.  The cat toys are also spread out in the upstairs hallway where the two cats chase after the toys and each other. Those last two problems hamper my efforts to accomplish spring cleaning, but will be problems no more in a week.

I found myself waking up to silent chuckling this morning. Surprisingly, it was coming from me!  I was sleepy, having a hard time waking up. Had already punched the snooze alarm twice when I rolled over after taking off my CPAP mask.

WHAM!  The CPAP hit the floor and I dove after it, trying to keep the water from leaking into the machine or onto the carpet.

Wha? How?  Ohhhhhh.  When I removed the mask, I didn’t realize that the attached tube  was wrapped around my head. And then when I rolled over, away from said machine, the tube pulled it down off the end table. Slick as a whistle if it was an alarm clock, because now I WAS AWAKE!

Best laid plans . . . especially when those plans involve the snooze alarm!  And even my sleepy self could appreciate the irony of it all.  And chuckle.

And speaking of chuckles, I found some more clever crossword puns from Cathy Allis Millhauser in Humorous Crosswords.

Highway cautions for fish?                                                   School Crossings

Highway cautions for eels?                                                   Slippery When Wet

Highway cautions for centipedes?                                    Road Work 100 Feet

Item that may be out of date?                                             Pit

Give a damn?                                                                                 Cuss

One in a sub plot?                                                                       Nemo

Bay City roller?                                                                             Fog

Come on now, at least one of those made you smile, right?

Zohright? Zohright!  Muchas Gracias, Senor Wences!

Have a Fun Filled Friday!

Love,

Janet
