Good Sunday afternoon from Pat the Putz! Well, I did it again ... I told you I was awake from 3 AM yesterday morning. I was busy all day cooking and blanching & cutting up peaches. Then M&J and the kids came over for dinner and Jennifer's birthday cake. I reall busy, tiring day. I ended up falling asleep on my wonderful new chair. Bert came and woke me up to go to bed. I got up and started towards the bedroom, but had to stop as the O2 line was caught somewhere. While Bert was freeing it, I must have dozed back to sleep standing there and BOOM! next thing I knew, I was flat on my back on the tile floor! Bert couldn't lift me up himself, so he called Missy for either her or Jimmy to come help Bert. Missy came, even though she had to go to work today. They got me up and I sat down for a few minutes.
I knew right away that I was going to be in major pain, as I felt it moving in right away. . I was right. My butt is killing me! It hurts like he!! when I get up or sit down. This is a real bummer as I still have to finish the potato salad and blanch the rest of the peaches. I even needed Bert to help me out of bed this morning. I think I'm going to have him put some Aspircreme with Lidocane on my butt. That should give him a cheap thrill!! LOL
Lee - Sounds like you had a great time at the concert at the winery. Loved the pictures on Facebook. Ouch! is all I can say about your gas prices. Ours is $4.47 at some places right now.
Dave - Glad you went back to bed this morning. I hope the extra sleep did you a world of good.
Karen - Good idea to back off all these projects helping others. It's too hot and humid to be doing that every day right now.
Kathie - My orchids are really suffering in this heat this year. I also think Bert isn't giving them enough water these days. Having the same problem with my herb garden. I told him they need more water, but he's still giving them the same amount. At least 3 plants have died and most of the rest don't look so great. Missy has the same planter and her plants are thriving with lots of water, as they are supposed to get.
Bill - Glad you had a great community gathering, even if you don't like lobster.
Well, I thought I finished this post yesterday, but obviously, I didn't, so here goes today ...
Happy 4th of July, gang! I'm still hurting, but not as much as yesterday. Mostly hurts when I sit down or get up. It's still going to be a long day. Never made the potato salad nor blanched the peaches.
Dave - I spoke too soon about there being no fireworks yet. Last night someone was setting off all sorts of stuff for a couple of hours. They sure had a lot of money to burn. I really like fireworks, but to keep setting st uff off after 11 o'clock was too much and even I was getting pi$$ed. Thank goodness they finally quit by 11:15 because that's when we went to bed. For sure, they will be getting a violation letter!
I need to see what time M&J are coming over, so I know when to start the ribs. That's a 3 hour project.
Nothing else new around here, so I'm going to get this posted before I forgey again. Have a wonderful day, no matter what you are doing.
