My foot finally bruised! Finally!

Wednesday, August 19, 2015

I took my sweet time getting up after tableting and reading, and then took lots of breaks while doing the dishes and mopping more of the kitchen floor.  Between my back and my foot, this seemed wise.  I did get both jobs done - as much as I was getting done on the mopping job, anyway.  That is some job (for me).  I don't do it near as much as I should, so when I do it, it is a huge job and I am a wimp.

It has rained off and on all day, too, which makes it kind of a blah day.  It's so humid that I have to turn the A/C on a lot earlier than I usually do, and to hear the rain pounding down over top of that is very strange.  It only pours for about five to ten minutes, though, then it quits, and two hours or so later, it does it again.  Makes for a strange day!

I go out and cut up cabbage to have it ready for Ron's supper, but then he calls to tell me that he is broken down and he is sitting at Beckjord waiting for the mechanic to get there - and the mechanic has no idea where Beckjord is.  I even hear him over the radio, telling Ron that he's in New Richmond, where does he go now?  I can't help but laugh - in this day and age of computers, phones, instant maps, GPS and God knows what else, he just asks Ron for directions.  Too funny.
I figure Ron will get home around 7:30, 8:00 if he's lucky.  IF he's lucky.
However, though, once again, the gods were smiling on Ron, and he texts me that he is on his way home at 6:30, getting him home right around 7:00.  I only missed by a half hour or so...
It was also raining again at that time, so I couldn't walk out to meet him.  Phooey.

I had his cabbage done, and I made myself chicken patties, and as soon as he got out of his shower, we ate our supper while watching dead guys - when the TV was on.  It would go off during the worst of the storm, then come back on, then go back off half an hour later, etc. This rain was weird!  It finally came back on and stayed on.

While watching TV, I noticed that my foot was finally starting to get a bruise.  After two days!  I expected it to bruise that next morning, and it's taken two days!  But, finally, there is a bruise all around the scrapes.

I get to go get my new Bengals purse tomorrow!!  I'm so excited!  I've been thinking about using a smaller purse, and this will be great!
