We had a very unusual occurrence here today--it rained the entire day. That probably doesn't sound like a very big deal to some folks, but rainfall has been scarce in this area for over a year and is very much appreciated. The rain drops meant the morning walk was canceled and that we could sleep in as long as we wanted this a.m. There's something about a cloudy, rainy day that makes one want to curl up under the covers, stay in bed, and not feel guilty about doing it.

John spent the entire day laying around resting his back/neck. When he got up this morning the pain was strong as ever in his back and his arm and his fingers were numb. Everything seems worse when he first gets up. This evening the pain suddenly lessened and he's feeling the best he has in over a week. Hopefully he's turned a corner and whatever is the source of the pain is getting better.

I made a trip to the post office for mail and then to the library to return a couple of books and pick up a new mystery. Overall it was a pretty lazy, rainy day in Brackettville.
