For the last few days I’ve had wicked edema in my feet, ankles and legs. Like you needed to know that, right? I told you that so I could tell you this: I’ve been laying around with my feet up (which helps but not as much as I’d like). And I told you that so I could tell you this: Today I got comfortable in my recliner with a pillow on the foot rest, bottle of water and phone beside me. I settled in with my laptop to do some homework. Then I realized I wanted some Aleve and something to eat. I also realized I’d forgotten to feed the cat. So I called MoC.
Me: Can you come over?
MoC: Maybe. What do you need?
Me: I need some Aleve. And I forgot to feed Indy. (cue pitiful meowing in the background)
MoC: Well, maybe this afternoon …
Me: I’m also a little hungry. I have some yogurt in the fridge. You’ll have to stay until I finish it, though, so you can rinse the bowl out. If I put it on the floor, TRC will lick it and bad things will happen to her.
MoC: Oh, we can’t have that!
Me: No, we can’t. It ain’t pretty. So what time can I expect you? And before you say “next Thursday” just remember: Jo Anne would do it. In fact, Jo Anne wouldn’t have made me wait so long and would already be knocking on the door.
Instead of giving me a time, MoC changed the subject! The audacity!
MoC: If we win the lottery, you can pay someone to wait on you. Did you see the article about the girl who used visualization to win the lottery?
MoC and I decided we would use visualization for the ticket she already bought. I will concentrate on the amount ($192 million) and she will concentrate on the numbers. It’s going to work, I can see it.
Me: Does this mean you’re not coming over to get me the Aleve? I have a little headache.
MoC: Just visualize yourself without the headache.
Me: I’m never going to win, am I? But it will be so much more fun to torture you when we’re rich.
MoC: Just keep in mind that we may win – but I have the ticket!
Me: I love you!
MoC: Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Jo AnnE (with an E!), if you’re reading this, could you bring me a little dish of ice cream? Any flavor is fine, except mint chip. I don’t like mint chip. But anything else is great. Well, I’m not really fond of pistachio, but I’m sure whatever you pick will be wonderful. Thanks!
How can you NOT be fond of pistachio! That’s ONLY the best flavor icecream there is! Just sayin’
Dutch, LOL Maybe I shouldn’t have been so specific because no one brought me ice cream of any flavor. True, Jo AnnE lives 4 hours away, but still … I was sure she’d bring it to me
Michael went right out and bought 3 flavors of ice cream: Rocky Road; Chocolate Carmel Fudge and double chocolate – they are in the car right now – ready to go! The trouble is – he forgot where the car is.
Oh – so close – I was there for you – honestly!
hahahahahaha! Did you give him the key with the magic button?
Oh well … enjoy a bowl of all three for me
We have some popsicles in our freezer, but you’ll have to get on a plane and fly down here to have them.
Lass, I’m not sure they’ll let me bring my recliner on the plane.
