D D An OUCHIE!

 It actually looks better than it did before the surgery. .



I heard the nurse that measured it yesterday while I observed how to wash and care for this wound say, ( 8 cm's ) and ( 18 sts ). OUCHIE!
This morning it was Hands On for me 2xs a day until his stitches are removed the 29th.

On a different subject....Jill is taking hubby to his eye appointment so I can do my own thing...like change bedding and vac my bedroom.  WHOOPIE...Then again... IT IS !  Just this time alone to move about with no interruption is HEAVEN.
Presently Jill is dropping off Cash to have him neutered.  ANOTHER OUCHIE!
Drop off time for Cash is between 8 and 8:30.
Hubby's appointment is at 9:30 .
Ill be back................

Now the time is...2:30 p.m.   Hubby and Jill didn't get back home here until almost noon.  Then she took off to go get her finger checked out and I'm awaiting her return. sighhhhhhhh
Yesterday....there was NO DRINKING...today...........I can only hope that she is still where she headed and now not sitting in a local bar waiting for Cash to be ready to be picked up from the Vets.  She was called earlier to inform her that he did FINE ...something about extra money for a collar to keep him from chewing his incision was suggested to her and she did chose to get a chip put in him.  That was done.  I don't mind paying for all this....if she is being a TEAM PLAYER .   Right now I'm going on...it takes time to be seen and treated in an E.R.   
   Hubby does have cataracts, but no surgery at this time. New glasses will come in the mail. :0)
Spent most of the time they were gone cleaning in my bedroom.  Did a load of laundry...more to do. 
As my introduction says: Housework is like shoveling shit against the tide; it comes right back ! ;0)
    I took an hour nap from one to two.  Darn I feel so much better since the grogginess from awakening has worn off ! I shit you not!

Work has begun on the house. The foundation.....It's a Start!

Curiosity got the best of me. Phoned Jill at 3.  Just walked into the V , she said.  Today was Mona's funeral. Hubby knew her FOREVER . ( Another townie ) I made her wedding cake. ( She's my age ) Jill has known her from the bars as she was a book keeper for many moons at another bar in town.  Her husband passed away some years ago and she had no children.  Everyone elses' children that went for a drink in the bars or to eat after closing time were her children or family...including Jill.  Nice enough person.  
As I was saying...Jill is in the V and the Time after the funeral at 10 a.m. was held in the Function Room at the V.  Alot of people that attended her funeral are still there she tell me.  IMAGINE THAT!  I said as much to her.  STILL????
Five hours after the graveside service.....people are still drinking and SOCIALIZING ! :0(
   Cash needs to be picked up around 4:30 or 5 .  Guess I'll see her then. sighhhhhhhhhhh
Xray showed a hairline fracture; bad sprain.  She dropped off an RX to CVS before she hit the V. Must be a pain med.  DID report correctly HOW THIS INJURY HAPPENED. 

:0)  Jill was home shortly after four.  She actually left a BAR without being smashed.   Maybe it was the pain she was in due to that finger....I"LL TAKE IT!
The ring may have to be cut off...she is holding out hope that the swelling has stopped and it won't have to be.  Is wearing a splint on that finger and has a soft ice pack, plus pain meds. 
Tracie and I brought home supper and after everyone ate Jill told us to take off...  we went out to the stores.  :0)
Got all my pool winterizing supplies.  They are NOT PRETTY. ;0)  I shit you not!
Living in a cold weather state has more than it's share of Pains In The Asses! This is the first year that I am not looking forward to any of the extra work that Winter brings. The cold...doesn't bother me so much. Went out tonight in a sweatshirt and SHORTS. Low 60's  Truth be told...I was too lazy to change. 
   It's almost 10 p.m.  No school tomorrow for Logan.  Some kind of teacher DAY. His friend Kenny is spending the night. 
    Just fixed hubby up in bed. Got him rolled onto his side.  Hopefully it will be a few hours before he needs to pee.  The GOOD THING is he has been able to pee on his own and hasn't need to be straight cathed since the day we took him into the V.A. E.R. due to the UTI.   Maybe he's scared we will enjoy putting that cath in him.  If his water works works for him...it works for us.  ;0)

Didn't get much done on the baby afghan today....  Tonight at least I won't lay awake mentally counting stitches.  The foundation has been laid! ;0)
Footing has been dug and poured for the addition.  Guessing the cement needs to dry a few days.
Son Randy was at the firestation this morning getting their approval. They have to sign off before the town gives us the Permit.  WE NEED wired in smoke detector alarms TO CODE in the parlor and 3 bedrooms . Have to submit a diagram of those plans to them before they will sign off to the town. .. sheeeeeeeesh. 
What else??? 
The ones I have are not wired into the electical box. 
No complaint here. Fire is my worst fear! 

It's now 10:30. Bedtime for the boys andddddddd bedtime for moi.

That's All Folks!
