Something is "up" with my laptop. Instead of being normal color, it's really blue tinted and I can't upload pictures to this post. Oh well....
My elbow, hand, foot and leg are getting better. I went to the doc for my first visit and he marked me with a black Sharpie to make sure the redness didn't go outside that line - that was one of the pix I wanted to upload. At my follow up visit later last week he said that looked fine. Well, when I fell, I landed on my left side and my pelvic area was a little tender - I figured I'd jarred myself when I fell. If I had broken something I would have been in a lot more pain - the doc agreed but needed to see if there were any bruises or lumps. So I get in the hospital gown, the nurse comes in and the doc tells me to turn my head to look at the wall and cough. I looked at the nurse and just cracked up laughing thinking I'm female, what in the world are you asking me to do that for? He did say he was checking for hernias. So I apologized for laughing hysterically and got myself under control long enough for him to tell me to look at the wall and cough again as he checked my left groin area. Well I lost it again and barely got a cough out. He said I was ok. I just thought that was too funny and if Mike would have been with me - he would have been on the floor rolling and laughing.
I asked one of the guys from church if he could come over and help me hook up an antenna to my tv to see if I could get local channels. My main tv in my bedroom is HD but not digital - and I know I can't use a digital converter. Dad and I tried that a couple of summers ago - my stucco/cement house won't let the digital signal through. So I thought if I could get the local channels with an antenna, then I might look into Roku with subscribing to Hulu and Netflicks to have more choices on tv. Unfortunately the antenna didn't work - so I returned it to Best Buy. I think my next step is getting a newer tv - don't faint Traci and Chrissy when you read this :)
The funny part was Jon brought his little girl and boy with him. They had stopped at Dunkin Donuts and offered me a donut in the driveway which of course I took. I was eating, walking up the stairs to my front door and talking when Hannah sweetly and matter-of-factly told me to, "Chew with my mouth closed." I just cracked up. Of course Rowdy and Sadie made themselves scarce so the kids couldn't see them - goobers.
I am a reading fanatic and found a biography on the actor James Garner and read it over the weekend. I really like him and it was very interesting to learn about his early life before being an actor. I don't read many biographies but gave this one a shot.
I got my small group leader going yesterday when I texted him "I have a date and not a date" after church this morning. His immediate reply was "Who What?" I told him it was a co-worker, a younger man. He's like "HUH?" He was a little late to church and I had to leave right after church to make my "date" so we didn't get to talk and I knew that would bother him. So he called me as I was driving to the movie theater to find out what was going on. I told him it was one of the guys from work that is a buddy - but my buddy had said "it's a date" when he replied to my text. So that's why I got Rob going. Rob said he had to make sure what all was going on with his "big sister". I thought that was so nice of him - but don't tell him I wrote this. Wait he reads my blog :P
This morning at 5:00 a.m. Rowdy decided he wanted to become a different species. He got on top of my dresser that is a little ways from my bed. I told him to "get down" for like the millionth time. Well he decided to become a grey flying squirrel and leaped from the dresser, spread his legs and proceeded to land on top of me in bed. It was like the Peanuts cartoon whenever Snoopy would leap onto someone and yell "Cowabunga". Yowza.
Finally four peeps from my church and two from our sister church will head to Lima, Peru on the 18th for our first missions trip and return the 31st. If you think about it - remember this group from Living Waters Fellowship in your prayers.
