No wonder I have been complaining and venting the past few days.  I got my menses today.  What fun.  NOT really.  Anyway, despite the upcoming few days of my menses going, I am doing fair.  I have decided to keep my legs up for the time being because of water tension in the ankles.  That is one reason I dislike having my menses but what else comes with it I will bear with it no matter what. I am excited at the same time and there is one more day left before my New Mexico parents get their Basenji puppy – Ranger – and I know my parents are heading to Denver, Colorado now to spend the night nearby and take Ranger home tomorrow.  I can’t wait!!!!
