sandraBBprevost: Got up on right side of bed too damned early

The Wrong Side of the Bed

"The wrong side of the bed is the left side, according to a superstition that goes back to the time of the Romans. People have been saying other people 'got up on the wrong side of the bed,' 'awoke surly or grouchy,' for well over three centuries now, usually not knowing the real meaning of what they are saying, but the equally old expression 'got up left foot forward' tells the story. The supposedly sinister nature of the left is reflected in many English superstitions and expressions, such as the belief that it is unlucky to put your left shoe first, or to walk into a house left foot first. The Romans, especially Augustus Caesar, were very careful that they got up on the right side of the bed, but there is no evidence that they were less grouchy than anyone else."

Got up on right side of bed too damned early

Too early but in a better mood. Still in pain from the damned elbow.
I have my TV set to come on the solid gold oldies channel. This morning The Temptations were on singing 'The Way You Do The Things You Do', one of my all time favorites. Found it on youtube and listened again.
Working on adding to Cats I Admire album on facebook. I admire so many that this album will take time to complete, if ever.
