I posted Wednesday in the middle of a full and complete meltdown... which honestly lingered into Thursday and then Friday Bubba has some minor surgery to get rid of a rather large mass on his back hip so things were peaceful. Aunt Ing had time Thursday night to organize her thoughts, gather her data, and chill. Friday I got Bubba tended to and he was all mellow and happy. Which lasted until Saturday morning, but I'm getting ahead of myself..
Thursday busy at work, lunch out with my 'other' team I have two tasks right now and the other team went out to lunch then spent the whole time talking about their kids - leaving me and the other guy on the end with nothing to do... so I ate chicken. And green salad and cole slaw not a potato in sight. I have really be trying to keep the carbs down per my little binder thing and happily checking stuff off my list.
Ah my list(s)(s) Yes boys and girls believe it or not Aunt Ing made a list, she made several in fact and that beat back the panic. Don't judge it works for me Ok? You do it your way I'll make a list.
As Friday was mellow and the weathermen and women were breathlessly telling us the world was coming to an end with thunder and lightening and winds and rain and who knows what - Bubba and I gathered supplies and hunkered in for the night... plus he was still kinda loopy so he needed to be home and resting. Friday afternoon saw, dark clouds, some wind, rain by the buckets, and rain.... we barely lost the satellite feed... oh sure other parts of the DC world saw some twisty clouds and there were warnings and watches and all sorts of weather related panic buttons, but we were home, safe and fine so Aunt Ing was completely mellow. Bubba was bored.
Small tangent - but you've been sliced open, 5 inches, had a mass of yuck taken out of you 3 inches deep and 6 X 7 inches you'd think you'd mellow out for at least a day - seriously?!?! And on another side note -the in-laws... said Wednesday afternoon they were coming (yes mid-meltdown) and 4 hours later - they weren't. Makes your head hurt doesn't it?? Only now they are coming NEXT weekend when I am 1) on only liquids and 2) have Saturday completely booked. So upside less time with them, down side less time for gossip and the inside scoop as to what is going on back in PA... ah well...
Back to our time line... Saturday up too freaking early as I have reset the dog's bladders and tummies so got them out, fed and frankly I went back to bed... Bubba was up and moving before I was (second round) yesterday. But up moving, had my lists, we went to breakfast ran errands I have everything I need to get through this week, then we narrow what we like and am ready to face a week with liquid "food" and maybe just maybe I might survive this mess... maybe. But I can say I have beat back the crazy lady that posted Wednesday I have lists, I have completed things and I have received two lovely notes from dear friends concerned when they read the words on Wednesday from Meltdown Mary... Aunt Ing doesn't like to talk about her much but she's there right along side the drunken muse and the Crabby Patty... I think I need help.
Cripes. Nah, they are just flavors of Aunt Ing, not entirely new people. You know like Chocolate is base, then you have Dark, Carmel, nuts and all that other stuff you stick in chocolate. That's me - nutty gooey chocolate. Yeah I need help... where did I put those good drugs we got for Bubba?? KIDDING! - Mostly.
Saturday saw dinner at home, and grumpy Bubba with everything in the fridge, half of which were new purchases protein type drinking things.. and left overs... so tonight its leftovers and the rest of the week will be chicken. and veggies and nary a carb in sight. Oh yeah and protein drinks and smoothies. Blender at 5:30AM - won't Bubba be pleased??
Sunday has dawned lovely weather, old mower sold in less than 24 hours on Craig's list and I've got a list of stuff to get done today... believe it. I have a list. So, now at pushing early afternoon I am going to shower, clean my kitchen, finish the laundry, pay the bills, and do the dog's nails. And maybe just maybe take 10 minutes for Aunt Ing, chart next week and probably make another list to survive it... stay tuned. Meltdown Mary could make another appearance before the week is out.
Oh and for you all playing the in-law home game, odds on Sunday are 50-50 if they actually make down here - I see a facebook post from the niece regarding anything - those odds will drop fast... place your bets and prepare to lose if you bet they are coming here... Or have more fun and wait for their reaction when the do arrive and Bubba tells them I won't be joining them to eat because I'm drinking food... yeah.
Final thought - clear liquids - has anyone noticed that both Rum and Vodka are clear and liquid. I'm just saying things get rough the rough find rum.
