"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Read on and fall sound asleep
I made a solemn vow to myself last night that I would not be late with my next entry. SURPRISE! I even break promises to myself. Today was not as hairy as I feered. I was worried about waking in time to get first grandson to morning football practice that I stayed awake all night then could not take a nap because I needed to take my wife to her gynecological oncologist. He checked her and told her she was on the right track with Dr. Rudy and that she was not yet a good candidate for surgery to reform a “sistaseal”. I am afeared of looking up that word. Even after a half century female plumbing baffles me.
The new dishwasher was delivered while we were out. Unfortunately somewhere today I breather something that has set my lund aflame and caused a very non-productive cough. As usual my preferred treatment is to retreat to sleep. As soon as we got home and I finished my piddling chores I collapsed into my recliner and Rascal and I enjoyed a deep and slumberus nap. I woke at 7:30 pm, took my blood pressure, at a little dinner, indexed a dozen or so marriage records. Now it is too late to tackle the DW. They ship appliances now without manuels so the customer has to print a copy. Talk about a cheap-ass way to increase a profit margin. BASTARDS! Tomorrow wife has ultrasound at 8 am and GS has football at 6 am so I will leap to install sometime before noon.
Goodnight all. And for those who do the laundry there is a reminder of days of yore below.
