My stupid frickin frackin achin back is making me crazy and I take SO much ibuprofen and tylenol that my stomach feels like it's going to pack up and split.
Oh well, no pain no gain.
Right?
And today is better than yesterday.
And tomorrow will be better than today because today I'm calling the doctor to find out if my back is just old and fat or if something needs to be fixed.
Regardless of what people may tell you, old and fat can't be fixed, but I do have it on good authority that they can fix ugly now (think Kate+8).
I know they can fix fat too, but really, who wants to work that hard and I know they can't fix old.
Even though I have a rotten back I had a fun weekend.
I had a lunch reunion with my bus buddies and learned that although I may miss my buddies, I don't miss the bus.
Valerie is driving a little bus (I got the grips just telling you that) and Spence had someone drive straight into the front of his bus on the first morning of school.
And that my friends is why I love washing dishes and serving pizza to little people.
Even when I have to go sub at a new school, I won't have to wash dishes in the dark or look for the pizza on the side of the road in the rain.
Valerie and Spence seem completely up to the challenge of the big yellow bus though as they recounted all of their stories through laughter and didn't have much to complain about, and I'm already looking forward to our next reunion.
Yesterday we had a Lost marathon because 6 has never seen even one episode of our favorite show.
Rewatching from the beginning is good because I see and get all kinds of things that I missed the first time through.
You know that show is such a trip anyway that even the second or probably the third time watching it there will still be parts that leave you shaking your head wondering what happened, but all in all I would have to say the second time is better then the first.
It'll take a long time to watch all the episodes, but really we're not very exciting people so that works for us.
A week or so ago there was an add on Craigslist for free finches and because I love birds and even more so anything free I replied to the add and they responded yesterday.
Six shook his head and gave me the stink eye as he map quested our way to wherever we went to retrieve our new feathered friends.
They are so cute and SO fun and since the people are moving they gave us their really cool cages too.
You have to keep the boy finches separate from the girl finches because they multiply like rabbits.
I put the girl finches in with canaries because they're both social birds and my canary cage is huge and the boys are hanging on the other side of the room so they can talk to each other.
I buy my gravy mix in the giant container at Costco.
I don't really like it though because it always turns out watery and thin.
Last night I made chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, gravy and peas.
I read the directions on the back of the gravy container and learned that you're supposed to use three tablespoons of gravy mix not one.
Last night the gravy was really good.
Peas.
You and your birds...
ReplyDeleteI still really think your back will snap out of it once you are used to the new job. Every time I've gone back to work a retail job, I've needed a few weeks to get used to working on my feet again. I suspect (and hope) it's just the same kind of thing for you.
Ok, the gravy thing is cracking me up. :)
Hehe, wanna hear something even funnier? I read GRAVY as gravel, you know like for the birds and couldn't figure out why you were putting water in the gravel.
ReplyDeleteSorry your back hurts so much. Have you thought to try medicinal marijuana maybe?
JUST KIDDING!
Oh yeah, you know what else can't be fixed....STOOPID. You just can't fix stoopid!
I ended up just divorcing him.
