A Rainy Flooding Day
It’s been raining most of the day. Of course I wanted to go out today, despite having babysitting duties. I really wanted my iced coffee and to pick up some burgers and buns. But, alas, that didn’t happen. And despite not doing anything strenuous, I hurt my leg again. It has been aching me since midday. I have been taking my pain meds, half of what I usually would take, because I have to care for a minor. I can’t stand on it for more than a few minutes and I am going to dread going up the two flights stairs to my room. I wonder why they call a bunch of stairs a “flight”? I can see it when you go up the stairs but going down? Just seems silly to me.
I had no therapy today, though I tortured my therapist with waiting till I talk to her tomorrow. I know she is going to be more excited than I am about David Jobes sending me a thank you card. I was curious to know if he got it because the guy in Switzerland just sent me an email of appreciation. HAHA would have been nice to get a box of chocolates. THAT would have been special! And I love Lindt chocolates!
So to get that card was really something and totally unexpected. I wish he wrote more than he did, but I am grateful for what I got. I still am treasuring the what he wrote. I really am ecstatic, don’t get me wrong. But my therapist brings it to another level. She came to my poster session where I met him and he shook my hand. We didn’t have camera phones back then so I don’t have a picture with him. Or if I did, I didn’t have the brains to think of getting a picture with him. I would have fainted anyways. I was nervous enough as it was and he saw me being all fricken nervous. I still remember being nervous and this happened six years ago!
I am in pain. The t-storms we are having is not helping my pain. I woke up around 0330 this morning and was not happy. It has been a long day because I had to get up at 0800 to babysit. Babysitting is easier with a 9 year old than it is with younger kids. You let them watch TV, read a little bit, play on the computer and you are set. You just got to feed them at meal times and maybe give them snacks. My little one today tried her hand at a pear and milk smoothie. I told her she should have just ate the pear but she didn’t listen. The smoothie was gross and she threw most of it away. I knew she wasn’t going to like it, because, come on, milk and pears?
It sucks I didn’t get to nap while I was babysitting. I mostly stayed on my laptop and did my thing, except listen to music. I so wanted to listen to Pearl Jam today as the songs have been rattling my brain all day. My niece doesn’t like the music I like and I don’t like her music so no music was played today.
I don’t know what I am going to do tonight. There are no baseball games today. I think I am going to try and read some as I haven’t done that in a while. I am just so tired I may just go to sleep instead.
