* The Senate has adjourned until Monday at 2 o’clock, but the House is in session at 9:30 today. Appropriations-Elementary & Secondary is meeting at 8:30 and Appropriations-Public Safety is meeting at 9 o’clock. If there are enough members here today the House may move some of its budget bills. I was told yesterday that adjournment is expected around noonish, but that, of course, is subject to change. After adjournment, the House will return Monday at noon.

* Despite my best efforts yesterday, including trying some medicine, my left eye is almost swollen shut from that stupid, but harmless stye. It looks gorgeous (not). I finally made it out yesterday and wore my sunglasses everywhere except to dinner. Unless this thing starts getting better soon I won’t be going into the Capitol today. It just looks too horrid. Don’t wanna scare anyone.
