What do you write when you have nothing to say?
The biggest news of the day is that I aspirated a hunk of chicken meatball during dinner. Will the excitement never end?
I still have the akathesia, it’s pretty bad tonight. I cannot take the meds my doctor gave me because they have and will make me nuts. I took some benadryl and that didn’t help either, though in hindsight I should have taken the Walmart generic which works for me and NOT the Costco generic, which doesn’t. When it initially kicked in and I started flapping my hands, I think Dave was just a few seconds away from getting a giant person-sized butterfly net and taking me over to UNC. It looked like I was in a tent revival, waiting on the snakes to come out.
Henry used the phrase, “I’ll be back in a gypsy!” the other day. It was cute.
That meatball, I feel it. Will it sprout and grow baby meatballs in there, like the man who aspirated a pea?! Granted, that would be cheaper than buying them at Costco…
Oh! I bought a pair of wool laundry balls! They’re so neat, they cut down on drying time and they act like a fabric softener. My kids are allergic to fabric softener everything so this helps get rid of static and makes their clothes less stiff. While I’m on the subject, I tried my homemade laundry soap on a pail of FILTHY cloth diapers. We’re talking, like, hazmat suit-needed grade raunch. And it performed BEAUTIFULLY! Some of the diapers looked cleaner after the wash than they did before they were pooped upon. It really brightened them up. And all for about $2!
This meatball is killing me.
Kombucha! I was getting bored with the plain old Lipton-esque tea so I mixed things up this last time around. I used fruit tea bags and hunks of ginger. The batch that’s closest to being ready tastes soooooo good. And it’s red! I can’t wait until it’s ready!
I’ve got three African violets I’m trying to find homes for. I’ve asked two people so far and they’ve both declined.
“Would you like an African violet?”
“NO.”
“Would you like an African violet?”
“I kill every houseplant I have…”
Do you know how hard it is to kill a stinking African violet? You basically water it once a year and bam – it lives.
Would you like an African violet?
