Good afternoon. It is already the 29th day of April, and what a month it has been. It is nice to be back at the computer and able to type without the bulky bandage. Yes, I had to see if I couldn’t do one better then Tina. So now I am back at the computer, the sun is shining and Tina is back at work. All is beautiful.
We are very fortunate that we haven’t had all the bad weather that other places in this state, and many other states have had. We have had lots of rain and quite a bit of wind. One evening it hailed for about five minutes but the hail stones were very small and there was no damage. We are so very thankful for that. Of course Texas and the Midwest are still experiencing heavy rains and tornadoes and hail. My heart goes out tho them.
We have had some pretty warm days so everything is blooming and all the critters are appearing, waking up from their winter’s nap and hunting for food, etc. Jerry and Tammy had a couple visit at their old house one evening. They went over the next day to see what damage had been cause, and if they were still there. they didn’t see anything or anyone, but one, at least, had left the lingering aroma of its signature perfume. They didn’t see the visitors this time either, but did set traps. Sure enough! they trapped them. Now I’m not sure if these two were friends, working in cahoots with each other, but one was black and white, a regular beauty. The other was a masked bandit! Now I understand that the trap was working just fine and the culprits were caught. However, I haven’t heard if they are sharing the same cage, or were they separated?
Tina was able to return to work today. She was so excited to be getting back to work and out of the house where she has mostly been since March 28th. She has had to sleep in the recliner, and sit in the recliner, right arm in a sling or a brace type sling. She finally graduated to the shower and that helped her a lot. Then we went and got our hair cut, and she got hers washed real good, so that made her feel a lot better. She said it was hard to wash her hair with just one hand. she finally left the recliner and tried sleeping on the couch and said that was a lot better. I guess she is going to try and sleep in her bed tonight. I hope that works, but am thinking she will end up back on the couch. I sure hope that her first day back at work has been a great one. She is either just getting off work or will be home shortly. she wasn’t sure if she got off at 3:30 or 4:00. One does forget these minor things when one hasn’t been to work for a month.
Our garage/yard sale went wonderfully well. we had lots of people and we sold most of the stuff that was out there. Clothes were the least selling item. Dottie had put in the cutest little electric fireplace. I had my eye on it, but so did a few others so it sold in no time. That was good since I had no place to put it if I had bought it. Jerry had a six or seven piece older sound system for sale, and when he set it up he said that I didn’t have room for it. I didn’t and really didn’t want it. The fire place was much cuter, and I also have a beautiful large fireplace, electric. Tammy put in a lovely basket that i wanted and was going to get, but Sierra claimed it. so I really lucked out by not buying anything. Of course Sierra had to borrow money from me to pay for the basket. That cat!
To end the garage sale with a great finish, I fell, went boom! Jerry took me to Quick Care where Tina met us, and the doctor use strips of some sort of tape in place of stitches. She said that my skin was to thin to hold stitches. Other then that I was fine, I thought. Monday I went to my primary doctor and got my hand re-bandaged. White bandages do not stay white, regardless if you do or don’t get them wet. Wednesday I went to the dermatologist as the wart that was on my elbow that she has froze a week or so before partially tore off so she had to cut it off. yes, she placed a bandage there also. Friday I went to the back doctor as I believed that it was my back that caused me to fall. I go for shots in my back in May. It has been six months since my last shots in my back. Then, a week after the fall, my knee turned black and blue. I knew that I landed on it, and that it hurt, but I didn’t think anything of it until it turned black and blue. so I went to the knee doctor who x-ray and said that I had chipped a piece of the kneecap off. I thought that it you had your knee replaced that was or included the knee cap? What do I know! Anyway I am wearing either an ace bandage or a knee sleeve. i am using a cane for safety sake.
Now it is time to go prepare dinner for my working child. I think it will be tuna Salad. That is lite, nourishing, and good.
Wah’s House Hold Hints: Hair Setting Gel: Add a teaspoon of unflavored gelatin to a cup of warm water, (be sure that it is dissolved) to make an excellent setting lotion for your hair. Just as good as the store bough-ten stuff “it says”.
Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a productive, cheerful, sociable, adventurous and fun day.
Blessings.
