Mood-contemplative. good a word as any. No I did not watch the president's speech-I will read it. I learned a long time ago that I understood the real meaning without the oratory effects. I did catch the last part and the news about the heckling. I also got the news about the health care not covering illegal aliens. sorry if I offend, but I am glad he added that part. We have to take care of the citizens of these United States before we take care of the world. I am not saying health services should deny service, but our government should not fund all of it the same way. -I am second generation Italian American, my grandparents came in under a quota system. So did my SO's. I will read the full speech later. And regardless of what some may say, just because you are born on the American continent,that does not make you a U. S. citizen. United States is the country, North America is the continent. I have heard people state, "it's all American" confusing the two. They were talking about immigrants from Mexico.

I have cardiologist appointment today. Somehow, the pharmacy stated that I have used one prescription for high blood pressure too fast-almost like I took double dose for 9 days. This is a big purple pill that I knew to take only once a day. Have to talk to doctor since I am now out of this med.

Crocheted a little last night. Started a scarf pattern-single crochet/double crochet repeat. The row next has you double where you singled and single where you doubled. It is a quick working pattern.

Well, that is all for now. Take care.
