I believe Malcolm is 100% well. Sharky got up first to make coffee and I laid in bed and stretched my arms and fell back asleep. Petunia came in and told me that coffee was ready and accidentally let Malcolm in. It took me a few moments to sit up and I found Malcolm on the end of my bed staring at me and making biscuits on the comforter. It was ssssooooo cute! He was purring and smiling and let me hold and hug him. He then followed me around to the bathroom and to my desk, etc., doing his happy dance, wanting to be loved and petted. He is definitely back to his old self. Yippee!
Had a horrid sinus headache yesterday and ended up with a pinched nerve somewhere between my shoulder socket, my shoulder blade and the side of my neck - all on the right hand side. The pain is alright, but it's the continuing numbness in my wrist and hand that bothers me the most and is the hardest to deal with.
Watched a great Mystery movie on PBS last night, By the Pricking of My Thumbs (2006). It was a Miss Marple (Agatha Christie) movie and the boys and I really enjoyed it. Turns out it's really a Tommy & Tuppence mystery and ITV added Miss Marple in to get people to watch. I loved it, plain and simple. I liked the chemistry between Tommy and Tuppence and understood the reason for her drinking - it becomes clear as the movie went on and adds a bit of pathos to her storyline. Meeting Miss Marple just added fun to the mix, almost making this a "buddy" flick. My sons became so wrapped up in the mystery that when the first half was over, they got upset thinking they might have to wait a week to see the ending. (To their [and my] relief, the second half followed the first.) When the movie was over, they sat up for almost an hour talking about it and now they want to read Agatha Christie! Honestly, can you ask for more than that from a book turned into a movie? To have it excite someone to the point where they want to find more of the same to read? I think not. (NOTE: Other reviewers on the net might have some good points about the movie's creators adding Miss Marple into a mystery that she was never in, but I did not know and give my review based upon that. [I have read one or two Miss Marple mysteries, but I was more of a Hercule Poirot fan and have never read a Tommy & Tuppence mystery, much less watched one on TV.])
Took the car this morning because I did not go grocery shopping yesterday like I was supposed to. *sigh* Going to go to Save-a-lot so we can, uh... save a lot? LOL Oh well.

Alright, if I have to choose, Maxwell House. (Because the big F is part of Proctor and Gamble and I don't like buying their products.) Oh, and the MH plant is only a couple of miles from my house and some days I can walk outside and smell freshly roasted coffee in the air. Damn, that beats a spring breeze any day! *giggles*
