wheeeeeee!! It's the weekend!!!I hope that all of you got a good night's sleep and are having a lazy morning. Me-- not so much! I woke up a little bit before 5, then was so achy that I couldn't get comfortable. I fooled around with a new app on my phone (Waze-- good for navigation and traffic stuff), then was still in a bunch of pain and got out of bed by 5.30. Gary had the coffee pot ready to roll (even when he drive me crazeeee, I will still keep him around LOL) so I made coffee and wasted another hour on the internet.
Another reason I am gonna keep my sweetie around is that he is going to install a new CD player for me in my car.Mine is factory installed and has been crap since day one. It gets bad reception on a good day and living up in the mountains makes it even harder. I will typically get one station with static, another that only plays on certain roads and during certain weather conditions-- low clouds/fog-- I get nothin'-, and a third that plays two stations at once, I had opera and The Foo Fighters duking it out the other day!!
So i have to rely on CD's unless I want to sing to myself. The last year or so, it has become very temperamental and will either play the CD, spit the CD back out, or not be able to read it all all. Depends on its mood, I guess. Right before our trip to PA, it stopped playing CDs altogether. My IL's gave me money for my b-day and I decided that I should get me a new stereo. It came in yesterday and Gary is going to install it for me today. He has all of the wiring done already so that is good. He has to take apart my dashboard which I know is a PITA so if you hear &^$@$%&! coming form NJ, it is all him.
And one more reason I am keeping him around is that he rigged up our bear "proof" can even better. 2 years ago, a bear took off with our bear can and dragged it way back in the woods, was able to get the lid off and scarfed down our yummy garbage. It took Gary and Scott a week or so to be able to get to back, because she took it right near her den. After that, he took a wired cable and hooked it to our front stair railing. Bears would sometimes come up and try to knock it over and when unsuccessful in dragging it, would walk away.
Not this time! Gary had me hooked up to my IV when my dog started whining by the front door. Then I hear a noise and Gary gets up and looks out of the window. He locks the front door immediately as he sees an **enormous** bear knocking over the can. I grab the syringe in my arm and run over to the window in time to see the bear pop the lid off of the can. I run back to get my phone to take a picture of the dude (now my syringe is flopping all around, but Priorities dammit!) hahahah!!) which you might have seen on FB.
The kids come downstairs to see the commotion and everyone is running from window to window. The bear was just huge. He literally went under the tree by the side of my house, laid down in the shady leaves and just munched away. I ended (ok this is truly an example of how kooky I am!!) up sticking my head out the side window with my camera taking pictures while Gary is pushing saline into my PICC line behind me. OMG- that sounds *insane!!!*
:rofl:
Long story short, I think I got some good pictures of him. He came back around dinner time to where he had eaten the garbage. I looked out my window to yell at him to go away. When he looked up at me, I said to him-- You are so huge! Then he turned slowly around and ambled back off. Cait said that I hurt his feeling by calling him huge. Then I felt bad.
So that is my novel about my Never Dull Days in Faery-Land.
Hope that you all have a great one today!!!
