Silver Linings

Housewives Tarot

So I know how happy you'll be to hear that I managed to finish Destructo Boy's school sweater with only modest consumption of midnight oil - it's such an expensive price these days, one cannot afford to be profligate with such a labor-intensive commodity.

Lucky that I did, too, as I was then knocked sideways by severe stomach pain so bad it restricted my movement. According to the doctor, it was stomach acid; and he prescribed me Omeprazole which made me feel almost human again in a mere 4 days. I don't even know what is going on with that - it's connected to stress, apparently, of which I have exactly ... let me think .... none.

That meant that I was physically back on track for the weekend, so we could go to the beach on such a lovely hot, sunny day: and I actually got in the water with Mini Diva the water baby, got wet, and swam. Well, doggy-paddled would be more accurate, but hey, my feet were off the bottom.




Destructo Boy living up to his name by falling off his scooter; won't happen again, though, as someone stole it out of the front garden.

And some pictures of the Noble Hound as he is so purty to look at:




















And I accompanied DH to the hospital for his 2nd injection into his eye - but the check they did beforehand confirms that there has been an improvement in the condition of his retina; I guess you can imagine how happy I am about that !

So all in all, last week a bit of a mixed week ... Do come back on Friday to see pictures of Destructo Boy's school sweater - if he hasn't lost it in the meanwhile. If he has, look for him in the coal-hole.

  3. So happy for the good news for DH, and will continue to fill the atmosphere with good thoughts and wishes. Thanks for you comment - I love the dark foliage on the Dahlia. Those pods are definitely the Morning Glory, I don't know the variety.

  4. Well, they do say that "family people" have a wider emotional experience. Being a (single) "emotional flat-liner" may advantages though... But then the HOUND rises above it all - To the skyline, at least. :D

  5. A hound fit for a great home, despite the broohaha from the front garden. :( And I must admit, Destructo Boy's back does look like it would smart. Ouch. For you as well. We do love that better living through chemistry, though. :)

    Take it easy ... and have a cocktail!
