Reading... I'm ashamed to say it's still nothing. Just too much going on.
Watching... American Idol. They're down to the top 5 and this week they have the top 5 from the 2006 season on.
Listening... to the air conditioner. After some pretty chilly days it's warm again. Unfortunately, it's only for one more day and then it's back to rainy and cool.
Eating... I just enjoyed a big, hard pretzel.
Thinking... about an idea for a way to give back. I was talking to a friend who runs a free-store at her church. People donate and EVERYTHING is free to anyone who wants to go look. I had a thought after watching a reel on Facebook and asked her what if we took her store to nursing homes as sort of a pop-up boutique and let residents "shop" like they used to. My friend is excited, too. She's got to get her son better before we can do anything, though. He hurt his knee playing football last year and has had several surgeries already and may have to endure one more. He's in a lot of pain. Seventeen and he can barely manage to get from the bed to the bathroom. Poor guy. Anyway, looking forward to seeing if we can make this happen.
Feeling... relaxed.
Celebrating... a successful day selling our crafts on Saturday and that today was a really good day.
Enjoying... that it's staying light outside past 8:00.
Looking forward to... taking my granddaughter with me to get our nails done after work on Wednesday.
Before I get to the giggles, here's a little bit of an update on my stepdad. He is still in the hospital. They went in and put a stent in an aneurysm behind his left knee on Friday. That went well, but it's the fractured vertebra they found that is causing him terrible pain. They are going to put a needle into his spine on Wednesday and inject stuff that is supposed to fuse the vertebra and bring instant relief.
I don't know why, but Mom seems to be so sure they are going to mess up and the needle is going to "end up in the wrong place." If it does, it won't be a good thing. Even if all goes well he is probably going to have to go to a rehab facility again for a couple of weeks. He has a LOT of little issues going on and is depressed. Mom doesn't seem to think he's going to be around much longer. He is 85, but there really isn't anything that imminent, but I learned with my adoptive dad...attitude is a huge part of the battle and if the fight has gone out of him...
Whew after that we need a laugh.
Giggling at...
Thanks for the good giggles, Stacy! I will be praying for you step-dad and your mom. That's a lot to process for both of them. Thanks for the updates! Have fun getting your nails done with your sweet granddaughter! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI've called it the Tinkletorium for decades!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy! I love the giggles you shared this week! They were all good ones. Prayers for things to go well for your step-dad. I think that idea of a pop-up free store for nursing homes is wonderful! I hope you have a good week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy! I am a little behind on reading posts due to life and I also haven't read anything lately!! Maybe soon
ReplyDeleteI love tinkletorium! Thanks for the cartoons, I think we all needed some laughs. I hope your stepdad finds relief. It has to be very painful.
