It's only 2:00pm, and already today has been a big day--my first real field trip away from home since last week (nine days, to be precise). My cold finally seems to be in remission, and the hip isn't feeling horrible, so I decided to venture out. We went all the way to Groton to go to Alex's high school graduation party. On the way home, we stopped to see Steve and Beryl since we were already in the area. We had a lovely time at both locations. Now, however, I'm done. Very tired. I didn't think a couple of low-key hours spent visiting friends would wipe me out quite this much. My endurance apparently has a long way to go before it's anywhere close to normal. Not sure if it's the cold or the surgery that did a number on that. Probably both. So, now I'm relegated to sitting on the couch watching a Wimbledon match from yesterday (of which I already know the result) while Robin slaves away mowing the lawn. I'd much rather be mowing the lawn.
The great debate is on with regard to how we shall celebrate the end of the era of my being able to read red text. We had hoped to have a gathering this weekend, but obviously that didn't happen. Perhaps next weekend. But of course, it's a holiday so many might already have plans (which, of course, is always the problem). Guess we'll see how things come together over the next couple of days.
Marcian, Marcian, Marcian!

Huzzah for field trips!! I am glad to know you are once again among the living and ambulatory. Perhaps you shall have to come have lunch one day...though if a graduation party and visiting friends wipes you out, the mere THOUGHT of the lunch table should put you in a coma for a week, I should think.
It seems rather unfair that those of us who already can't read red text should be unable to welcome you to our not-so-elite club on your special day. But we shall be thinking of you!
