A Mishmash, if you will
We have been watching a lot of baseball lately. Specifically, the Tigers. I was up way too late last night watching them ruin a perfectly good lead, give up a home run to tie the game, score two runs (Polanco hit two homers in ONE game) in the 14th inning. And they still managed to lose the game. Fourteen innings, people. I didn’t go to bed until after 1 am. I am starting to care way too much about this game. I mean, I find myself sitting down next to Mike to watch the game with him (gotta compromise to get that quality time in), and then when he falls asleep shortly after I sit down, I keep watching the game. Because I CARE. Oh well, Mike is happy about that. It only took 10 years to get me interested.
I told Mike the other day that it was going to rain. I hadn’t checked the weather. I just knew. Sure enough, it rained the next morning. Wanna know how I knew? No, I’m not part bovine as Mike suggested (just kidding). Apparently cows know when it’s gonna rain too. It’s the osteoarthritis I have in my knees. I’ve had it for years but didn’t know that’s what it was. Just thought it was normal to have pain in the knees. Well lately they’ve been hurting a lot. Of course it only rained that once, so my forecasting skills aren’t ready for the 6:00 news or anything. Not sure why they are hurting, but I’m sure if I get back into exercising (that’s funny, as if I was ever “into” exercising) then they wouldn’t hurt as much over time. It’s worth a shot.
Luke has two teeth. Total. Two teeth. Fourteen months old. Of course we’ve started brushing them. I hadn’t really made it a priority (you know, cuz there are TWO) but then I noticed he was starting to get really bad breath. Gross, I know. But he brushes twice a day now so the odor is under control. And he loves to brush his teeth. That’s more than I can say for his momma.
I have great friends. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. Not just great friends, Fabulous Friends. I can’t even say how fabulous. I just don’t know the words. Let’s consult the thesaurus. How about astonishing, astounding, fantastic, fantastical, incredible, marvelous, miraculous, phenomenal, prodigious, stupendous, unbelievable, wonderful, wondrous? So remarkable as to elicit disbelief. Seriously. I do not deserve such love. Friends, you know who you are.
What can I say? Life is full, full indeed. I hope you are all well. If you are not, I hope you can muster a smile. If a smile doesn’t work for you, try bustin’ a move when no one is looking. Then I dare you not to smile ![]()
