Weekend Stuff

If you’d like to read about he Dru Sjodin case this is the link to the articles in the local newspaper

It is 4:45 AM and I am awake. I think that I had a nightmare ~ I do not remember it but I know that when I woke up I was scared. What better to do than get on the computer and check on my OD favorites and check my E-mail ~ with the great connection speed of 12.0 Kbps! I would certainly like to know what caused the erratic difference in my connection speed.

Friday ~ I did not have “my sister” removed but I did have it poked and the doctor had to really work to get the gunk out of it. He first injected it with cortisone then went to work on it using a five gauge needle but when he could get nothing to come out he told the nurse “I need a six gauge.” So that is what he used to remove the Vaseline like substance from “my sister.” He decided to try this before doing surgery so my insurance company doesn’t buck paying for the surgery. There is a 50/50 chance that “my sister” will return. Just after three days I have a sneaking suspicion that it is already on its way. I was left with a nice hole and bruise on the top of my hand.

Saturday ~ I spent a lot of the day with my sister (not to be confused with “my sister.”) We went to the Flower and Gift shop looking for something for Mom. We were looking at plant stands and such because a lot of her plants sit on the floor. Then we went to the furniture store. We both notice a curio cabinet at the same time. That had to be the gift! So we arranged for it the guys not to deliver it right away because we had not picked out cards yet. We went to pick out cards. Then went back to the furniture store to let them know that we were almost ready. While we were signing the cards they took the cabinet while we weren’t looking! Ahhh! We’ve got to go! My sister was trying me to run stop signs and not even look when I came to a yield sign. With my luck there would be cars coming and the accident would be my fault! No thank you! We got there as the delivery guys were leaving. Mom had been down for a nap but when the delivery guys pulled up in front of the house C and S woke her up. She loves it ~ she even cried!

We picked out a card for Dad to give to her. It had a dog standing beside a toilet with a glass of water. The water was the bright blue ~ like Tide-bowl blue. On the front of the card it saying “I…..umm…” On the inside of the card it says “I am getting you a drink of water…yeah that’s it…

My mother has been a water drinker since she was a young child. My Grandma has a picture of her when she was about four. Her belly is so distended for drinking so much water. Mom drinks water like there is no tomorrow.

Dad being as confused as he gets sometimes….perfectly hilarious card!

I laughed so hard when I read it and handed the card to my sister. She said “we have to!” So we did!

We had another card from all of us and signed it from my family, my sister’s family, Dad and the girls.

Mom said “when did Dad give you money to help pay for this? I handle all the finances and I know that he only had $10 to his name.”

I told her “we took his last $10!”

Oh boy! My poor Dad ~ he is so loopy! He insists that he ordered flower to be delivered to Mom. They never came. My sister and I were sitting there have a discussion with him when all of the sudden a blank stare came across his face and he really struggled to find any words to say. All of the sudden anything that he had on his mind was gone.
