It’s been so long since I’ve written anything here that I don’t know how to begin so I guess I’ll just jump right in with I thought I broke my nose last weekend. The second thought that went through my head as I was gingerly tapping at my nostrils wondering when the blood would begin to flow was boy, this will make a great blog post. Too bad I don’t have time to write about how I was on my knees, hunched over, gripping pliers and pulling at a stubborn staple with all my strength when it suddenly let loose, my fist flew back straight into my nose which propelled me back onto my butt. But my nose didn’t bleed or swell or even bruise and my nose didn’t break. So no blog post there.
I thought maybe I could post about the shape my hand had assumed from ripping out four rooms of carpet and padding, yanking out those stubborn staples and scraping off the glued-on indoor-outdoor carpeting foam from the floor of two rooms, although I wasn’t sure how I could type if my fingers were curled over in the shape of a claw. But I managed to pry my fingers from the pliers and the scraper and with only a little massaging I was able to return them to their natural positions … or at least natural enough to hold a glass of beer. So no blog post there either.
Dean made the first mouthwatering homemade breakfast in our future retirement house but there were no fires or spills or burns to make that interesting to post about.
It seems all I’m left to write about is the variety of ways Angus found to stay cool while Dean and I were sweating as we pulled and ripped and yanked and scraped and groaned.
Well, that and the fact that we have just learned that Angus is not part Labradoodle/part Bernese Mountain dog. He is part Labradoodle and
Now we know why he likes to stick half his head in his water bowl when he drinks. I can’t tell you how excited I am for the drooling to start. I just hope I’m not holding a pair of pliers when I slip in it. On the bright side, if I can train him to lick up his slobbers from the floor I may never have to mop again!
