I had the worst night sleep of my life last night. My back had been better, but I reckon doing all that mopping and vacuuming triggered a problem. I got these sharp stabbing back spasms that were just excruciating when I rolled over. I was still looking at the clock at 5:30 this morning. Awful. I was able to sleep in so in the end I got a few hours of sleep.

Gave myself a haircut. Clean cut, All American. As much as any MK can be.

Last time I ran it seemed to really help my back, so I went for a 5.03 mile run. Felt pretty good. Beautiful, cool weather. Always something beautiful to see.

I’ve seen some advertisements about lowering the interest rate on your home mortgage through the HARP program. I called my mortgage company, and sure enough, looks like we’ll qualify to reduce my interest rate from a 7.5 to a 4.0 interest rate. That means I can pay about $200 less a month and pay off my house in two less years. Not bad!

Then to the mission to work with the kids. Always fun.

I ate some Chinese food on the way home and took Jesse some food. He’s not feeling well. He’s been coughing and sneezing and had a dizzy head today. Pray for him!

I saw this couple at the table next to me. Both of them just staring at their phones. That ain’t right.

I’m getting Poison Dart Frogs. I don’t like the look of this.

Came home to watch the Mentalist. Next week is the series finale. It’s been one of my all time favorite shows. Really sorry to see it go. The last couple of years have seen the finale of Monk, Burn Notice, Psych and White Collar. I miss those characters. Patrick Jane has been a real favorite.

Admin duties now.

Pray that my back will be ok this evening and that I’ll get a good night’s sleep. We have two ladies that will be spending the next 12 days with us doing missions.

I thought this was interesting. It was on the back of a soldier’s car.

Beautiful sunset!
