wait just one more shot

Monday Monday

Someone said to me the other day. Oh no we can't do camping. I can see you tripping on a stake or guide wire and taking the whole tent down ( I am paraphrasing).
I am amazed that in such a short time, he knows me so well. Then I thought ok read my journal. If this is a record of my year, this truly is the year of the klutz.

Sigh
I cleaned as you all know and crushed Dad's pills and dropped them on the floor. While I was vacuuming the dining room rug. (The linoleum is old and my Dad won't let me replace it. I have oriental rugs everywhere) I picked up a bag and looked inside. The bottom fell out and about 2 or 2.5 lbs of birdseed (mixed) effin scattered fell onto the floor and rug.
I can't make this up.
You can't sweep it
Vacuums don't like it,
And when you swear at it, it gets pissed and attaches itself to just about every surface it can.
Even the cats came to check out what I did, sat on the sidelines, looked at me, looked the seed and said "sweet, open the door the birds will clean it up"
Not so much.
About a half an hour later. The air was blue, the vacuum wicked mad (clogged twice) and the cats were hysterical watching me cope.
It did not win.

I made whipped cream tonight (so did not suck) and pulled out the beaters too early. (Stop it, stop it, I don't want to hear ONE joke)
And sprayed the kitchen counter.
On the bright side,
All pills were crushed for tonight and for tomorrow. Not one spilled. Success.
One nurse came and only changed the dispensing of 2 pills and thought the cat game (which I had to put down on the floor to keep the cats busy) was hysterical.
At a retreat a couple of years ago, Ingrid my music partner, and I switched personalities for an act at the talent show. She looked at me in the middle of the act and said; "I have been you for 5 minutes and I am exhausted"
Today I know how she feels.
I woke at 435 this morning and got to work at 505. If I could wear pajamas I would have gotten there at 445.

Off to bed!!!!!
Bon soir tout le Monde!
(I think I got it correct. I speak it better than spell it. I spoke French with a patient today and she giggled. I have no idea what I said. I think it referred to a horses member. I have to cut it out)
Sigh
the year of the klutz

Blip is a fairy. They play tricks you know.
