My nose has a problem.  It runs and makes my upper lip sore.  I said, "I am sick, but I am happy." 

I wanted pancakes for breakfast.  I have almost eaten an entire package of frozen pancakes.  I asked that frozen pancakes be added to the grocery list.

Barbara asked Mimz to babysit while she when to the DMV to stand in line to get her Texas car tag.  Surprisingly she was only in line for 20 minutes.

 I play fireman from dawn to dusk and even later!

 Barbara found Mimz and me riding my scooter and Pops scooter.  She had heard I was a fast rider but had not seen it for herself.  She was impressed. 
I can still use my baby swing.  Mimz hangs it in the garage door opening and gives me a big push and we keep doing that for as long as I want.

Mimz, Barbara, and I went to McDonald's and ate in the restaurant, which makes me happy. I had on my new black fireman's jacket and helmet.  People notice me and that makes them smile.  I ate most of my lunch and part of Mimz.  The only thing I had to take home were my french fries and my Happy Meal toy.

Back home we let Maggie out and played outside for a short time, then we upstairs, got in Barbara's bed and read two new books (new from GGF Bates).  Then I needed to run, so we played chase and then threw balls.  We worked my Jake puzzle again.  We kept watching for Luke to come outside but he didn't.

I took a nap from 4 to 6.  Mimz gave us some pork chops with rice and we had them for dinner. Barbara loves not having to fix us dinner. Thank you, Mimz.  Mimz also gave us some Saline solution to spray into my nose. It does help open up my nose.

I was never going to agree to take some medicine even though I was told it would make me feel better, so while I had my mouth open in protest,  medicine was squirted into my mouth and I swallowed.   Last night I cried every time I coughed or sneezed leading us to think I had a sore throat, but today I didn't do that.  My only symptom is my runny nose.  I am lucky, it could be worse.

I fell asleep at 9 and slept quietly until 2am.  I played or watched television on the sofa bundled in blankets for a couple of hours.  Then I slept quietly the rest of the night.
