The morning is cloudy and damp. No rain is predicted, but the clouds are staying around all day. It will be in the mid-60's. I have an empty dance card. Going out to do anything would take far too much energy, energy I'm saving to walk to the kitchen. Getting out of bed is still painful. Once the blood hits the leg, I started the ow, ow, ows. The dogs watch in amazement. When I can move, I go downstairs to let the beasties outside, make coffee, get the paper then collapse on the couch, already exhausted though the morning has barely begun. I already need a nap.
My neighbor made my day yesterday. She brought a basket filled with surprises. There was a lovely card and beautiful flowers. Cans of Coke were there to replace the ones which burst in my fridge. A chicken parm dinner from Nata's noodles was also in the basket. There were chocolate bars. I can't think of too many things as therapeutic as chocolate except maybe the chocolate chips cookies also in the basket. Last night I ate one of the Hershey bars. I swear the pain disappeared.
Bad things come in threes. I've got a refrigerator freezing everything, a foot and leg in massive pain and now a broken faucet. The hot water side of the kitchen faucet broke off last night. I tried super glue but all it did was stick to my fingers. Now I have to add a plumber to my doctors and to the repairman coming Monday for the fridge. I'm crossing my fingers that nothing else will go wrong, but now I'm thinking maybe those fingers might be in jeopardy. They are now uncrossed. You can never be too careful.
This morning I watched Marjorie Taylor Greene for the laughs. She didn't disappoint. She said that Bill Gates has developed fake meat in a peach tree dish. That goes with her Nancy Pelosi's gazpacho police comment.
The house is quiet. Both dogs are sleeping beside me on the couch. This room is dark. I didn't turn on the light. The darkness is comforting in a strange way. I have my leg elevated on the table. Everything I need is in arm's reach. I'm thinking it is a great time for an old movie. I am in the mood to be entertained.
