Now ya done got me started! I just have to say a little more about that photograph of my inner Ellery. If we can keep the depth, kindness, wisdom and humor in the eyes, while making them slate grey in color, we have Ellery exactly as I see him.

I am sitting here in the office, staring out the window when a truck pulls up to the fish place downstairs (my office is on top of a wholesale fish business). It's a little refrigerated seafood truck, here to pick up their supplies for the fish market and on the side it says: CANTRELL SEAFOOD. LOL, I am not making this up! I wish I had a camera...

Well, Leslie, let's allow our imaginations to run wild. Didn't Ellery's father have a cousin in Maine? I was thinking he went into the seafood business. It's nice to think that the business has stayed in the family, or at least kept the family name.

I don't wish to alarm anyone...

Over the past day, my tooth infection, which is supposed to be slated for root resection surgery in the immediate future (but is not yet scheduled) has reached a point of extreme discomfort.  My dentist wrote me an antibiotic prescription (I wish he had done that a week ago!) which we are both hopeful might bring the infection down some, but I am at a point where the anti inflammatories are just barely keeping me able to sit.

My point in telling you all of this depressing news is that when the pain gets to a certain point, I can't concentrate at all, and that means I may lose my ability to write.  Which means there may not be any updates.  I am hoping the antibiotics help and that I reach the surgeon on Monday, but if they don't... please bear with me, and look for me in chat, because one thing I tend to do besides eat anything in sight, is chat compulsively when I am in pain.

Ouch...been there Louise.  The antibiotics will help, but it may take 24-48 hours.
