random stuff

• with the warm weather we are having, i’m back to my gardening obsession. i worked on the new bed setup for about 6 hours on sunday, and i wondered if i would wake up paralyzed monday morning. luckily, i was not completely paralyzed, just a very sore right arm and lower back.

• the garbage disposal was not turning, i could hear the motor but it sounded stuck. i went to the internet to ask it how to fix it. i read a couple of items that were consistent, fixed that broken garbage disposal b/c i am awesome. i just might be prepared to get my own “fixing stuff” show. (i did sustain an injury, as i was turning the hex wrench, i clipped off a small piece of my thumb but nothing serious.)

• recently, i made a very bad mistake. i mixed up the eye medicine with the ear medicine for our dog sunday. the ear medicine that i put into her eyes has a type of acid in it. i wondered why she was clawing at her eyes after i did it. the bad thing is i didn’t realize i was using the wrong thing until after the second treatment. (this really freaked me out and made me wonder how it is that i haven’t been tossed in to jail before now.)

• on saturday, i received TWO items in the mail that made my heart swoon. i felt like i won the lottery, two times on the same day! a certain book by a certain favorite author, advance copy. the next item? two pieces by one of my favorite artists, along with a handwritten note. i love his work, and i am overwhelmed by his generosity (THANKS RAY)! i will be posting photos soon.
