I was thinking I was in the mood to listen to the blues the other day. I did have Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay" on repeat for a while. Good lyrics, in that. The eye seems to be okay. It never did turn black or blue. It's still sensitive to the touch on the lower lid, but thank goodness I didn't seem to break anything. I've never broken a bone and I'm not keen to start now! I'll have to remember to mention it to my doc next time, though, just in case she wants to keep an eye (no pun intended) on it. I smacked myself in the mouth with my laptop once. I was laying on the couch and had it propped on my knees when it tilted forward and into my mouth. At the time I thought everything was okay, but a few years later my dentist told me I needed a root canal on my front tooth because the nerve was dead. He asked if I had been hit in the mouth, maybe by a ball playing sports (no chance of that), and it took me days to remember the laptop incident. So I just want to make sure I don't have any lasting effects.
Since I've taken it easy the past couple days, I guess it's time to continue my garden work. It's been really cloudy here but I just checked and for today it's only going to be partly cloudy and highs in the low 70's. So I won't complain. Maybe I'll get lucky and see a butterfly! I got my shipping confirmation on my milkweed seeds and they should arrive Friday. I hope they're as easy to grow as Tropical Milkweed. I prefer to direct sow seeds because I'm a horrible transplanter. I also need to figure out where to put them - and clear the weeds away from that area!
