Back from giving more blood to the cause. Only 1 vial this time, lucky me! Tell that to the silver dollar size bruise that's come up in the spot where the tech took my blood!
We had originally planned to go to True Blue from the blood place, but due to unforeseen circumstances, that didn't happen. Seems like 3 days ago Bert tripped over my oxygen line out on the lanai and fell. He must have pulled something in his upper leg. He had ice on it yesterday and that seems to have made it worse. Now he's walking around with a cane! Of course, he refuses to take Aleve or anything else for that matter. He is so darn stubborn!
Yesterday we were having M&J and their whole crew over for an early Mother's Day dinner, or so Jimmy called it being it was filet mignons. We had everything prepped and were ready to put baked potatoes in the oven when POOF! There went our electric!! The transformer by our house had blown and there were 3 or 4 houses that lost power. Luckily I had already made and partially fried peppers & onions to go on the steaks and we were able to do the baked potatoes on the BBQ, so all was good. Ended up having to eat outside as it was too dark in the house by then. We were just about finished with dinner when the lights came on again.
One good thing came out of our adventure ... Bert got to meet the new next door neighbors! They are a family from Brazil and will be staying here seasonally, like the guy on the other side of us. I feel like I'm getting a complex!!! I did find out that the previous owners were asking $749,000. for the house. These people paid $705,000 for it. Still a pretty penny, but that house has so many great extras.
Just noticed the time. I forgot about lunch and now it's almost time to start things for our pork chop dinner tonight with the gang.
Have a good rest of the day, everyone!
