" WHAT GIVES ?"

DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MIKE AS OF LATE.  HE IS GOING TO BED LATER AND LATER, AND GETTING UP EARLIER AND EARLIER AS WELL.  LAST NIGHT MIKE CAME TO BED AFTER MIDNIGHT, AND WAS SCRATCHING AND PATTING, SCRATCHING AND PATTING MY BACK STARTING AROUND 6AM. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO BAD HAD I BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT, BUT SADLY-I DIDN'T!!  I HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS (SINCE MY SISTER VICKIE FELL AND BROKE HER WRIST), AND THAT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT, BUT I ALSO HAD THOSE LOVELY LEG CRAMPS LAST NIGHT AS WELL, SO WHO CAN TELL WHAT ACTUALLY DID ME IN.  ANY HOW, I AM RELUCTANTLY UP THIS MORNING WISHING I WERE BACK IN BED SAWING SOME SERIOUS LOGS.  MIKE ON THE OTHER HAND IS FULL OF ENERGY, READY TO WALK THE DOGS (WHICH I ALREADY FED), AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THE SHUTTLE TAKE OFF AT 8:46AM.  I TOO AM HOPING THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY GO OFF THIS TIME, BUT FROM WHERE WE SIT-IT LOOKS A LITTLE CLOUDY AND OVERCAST.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF CUTE THINGS MIKE HAS SAID IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.  WHEN MY SISTER VICKIE'S HUSBAND GEORGE WAS ALIVE, SHE WOULD OFTEN CALL ON MIKE TO COME PICK HIM UP OFF THE FLOOR (HE DID A LOT OF FALLING TOWARDS THE END), AND MIKE AND I WOULD GO OVER AND ASSIST.  WELL WHEN MY SISTER VICKIE FELL AND NEEDED MIKE AND I TO LIFT HER UP, MIKE SAID "IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE BONELLI'S, I HAVE TO PICK SOMEONE UP OFF THE FLOOR"!!  THEN A FEW DAYS AGO TORI'S SON ALEX WAS EATING DINNER, AND ASKED HIS MOM IF HE ATE ALL HIS FOOD COULD HE HAVE A SNACK.  MIKE SAID " DID YOU SAY A SNACK OR A SMACK?"  HE HAS GOTTEN VERY FUNNY IN HIS LATER YEARS-AND I LOVE IT!!!  THAT'S  IT FOR THIS AM-TILL TOMORROW-JUST ME
