I went into work on Tuesday. It was considerably colder,
with a wind! I found that out when I took the trashcan out to the road.
My eye had turned a lovely, deep purple (my Mother would
have loved it – she was fond of purple) and invited a lot of comments.
I went to the eye doctor (ironic) in Farmington and got my
old lenses installed in my new frames. On the way back, my low gas light came
on. Dammit! So, I pulled into a gas station, bundled up and filled up the tank.
I didn’t have time to eat out, so I stopped in Wendy’s to
grab another one of those bacon and blue cheese burgers. But, the promotion was
over!!!
So, I got one of their “Pacific cod” sandwiches. I ate it at
work and was under-impressed.
I thought I was doing okay, but my Boss sent me home at 3:00
p.m., telling me to put some ice on my eye. She didn’t have to tell me twice.
Sidebar: Did I ever mention I have a good boss?
Since it was early, I stopped on the way home at Costco and
grabbed some peanuts for the squirrels and coffee for me. It only took about 10
minutes and I had another missed weekend errand checked off.
I came in after bringing in the trashcan. I treated the cat
and then walked out back, filling up the feeders.
I did wet a washcloth, added some ice cubes and held it to
my eye. It didn’t help with the color, but the swelling did noticeably go down.
I took out a pound of ground chuck to thaw (I really need to
go to the grocery store!), but it was too late for today. So, I heated up a can
of Campbell’s Bean with Bacon soup. I got out some saltine crackers and ate
that for my dinner.
Both my Tuesday night NCIS shows were reruns, but I watched
them anyway. Then I went to bed at 10:00 p.m.
"invited a lot of comments."
ReplyDeleteHopefully you responded with a lot of, "you should see the other guy."
"Boss sent me home at 3:00 p.m." Did she say to go shopping too? NO...Ice the eye
ReplyDelete@ Jake: No, I went with the more modern, "I guess no, means no!"
ReplyDelete@ GPF: But, the squirrels were hungry!!! I am the steward of this world of mine...
