So Many Highs and Lows

 

Let's see,

a

High,

or at least I think.

JWS made me buy a gun raffle ticket.

 

As some of you know,

I have gone on rants about gun raffles before.

I don't like them.

 

Not the "gun" thing,

I am just not a gambler

and

I don't consider them near the entertainment that

JWS does.

 

But, I did my civic duty and bought a ticket.

It supports the fair.

Really?

I put enough time in there to more than support the fair,

but

it was worth the $20 to have JWS not pester me anymore.

 

And

I

won

a

gun.

 

I don't need a gun,

don't want a gun,

much less an expensive gun.

Truthfully,

and don't hang me up on this one.

I would have just liked a cardinal gun....

but we won't go there.

So far the construction paper hung on the outside of the window is working for the cardinal problem,

so he is allowed to live.

I don't know that I want construction paper on my windows all summer,

but,

maybe he will move on.

To the neighbor's house, perhaps.

On another winning note,

won my giveaway!

 

Woohoo! 

I hope to have another one soon.

 

Now for the lows.

My ankle has been hurting,

for

quite awhile.

Since November.

That's a long time, I guess.

 

This morning I got the not-so-fun news.

Surgery.

Off it for two weeks,

On crutches for four,

then

therapy.

 

I was really hoping for a prescription

of

you know...

Take two and call me in the morning...

or

three or four weeks.

 

So now the list.

How much do I need to get done

before next Tuesday.

 

One week and counting.

 

That might not be enough time

to

sew my camper awning,

clean the front porch,

clean the side porch,

weed the flower beds,

stain the deck,

stain the new Adirondack chairs,

mulch the flower beds,

clean the garage,

clean out my car...

well who really cares about the car?

I won't be driving anyway.

Shop for birthday presents.

 

It makes my head swim. 

 

Guess I will just concentrate on having enough

yarn,

good books

and

movies

on hand.
