I didn't think so....and.....haha I didn't.....I know most of you think I did but I didn't! I have definitely been put on warning that my official birthday month is over-hence all the bad karma-so far this month. I tell you, you just let it get a few days from the birthday month...and all hell breaks loose! Hell, I don't even think I'm going to celebrate next year, that way nothing bad can happen right after. And by the way, I don't really believe in the
karma thing, but something is
definitely going on here!
First of all, my best friend Princess Carla is moving to Nashville, pretty much for sure now. I've known her since the 6
th grade and our kids are 28 and 24, if that tells you how long its been, I couldn't bring it to myself to really say how many years...so she tells me to put her house on the market and it sold in 4 days! Most people would think this is good, but.....
Then, we had 2 outings to go to on the 4
th of July, so it was a very busy day...had to keep everyone happy...Lord help me! This is hard to do. Well, I go to mom's house and Bill has the above the ground swimming hole set up for the four little nephews, they want Aunt Princess Lisa to get it, so what do I do...I get in, but I did it the hard way. You have to climb a ladder...I made it that far without loosing my balance, that was a miracle all in itself as I have been referred to as "Bubble Butt" on more than one occasion in my life. I make it up to the top step and then want to impress the children, so I jump, tucked and landed, then proceeded to almost drown in what I discovered was about 24 inches of water! I did realize that this pool was not very deep, however, I obviously misread how deep. I did tuck my feet and was doing what I thought could be recognized as a "cannonball" as I was going to try to splash most of the water out of the pool to get a laugh out of the kids. I evidently,
automatically straightened my leg, and hit my right foot down very solidly. I am pretty much sure I dug out that part of the ground for Bill for next year! I hurt very badly instantly, my ankle, my knee and my hip. By the end of the day, I was asking my husband to amputate from just right above the hip, my whole leg was hurting to so bad. I'm pretty sure that this is the way poor little horses feel right before they put them down. I was a real trooper Princess though and toughed it out for two days and went to
Ortho on Monday, he took one look, looked over at Jim and said I think I might need to check you, I think she left part of her foot up your a-- when she kicked it. This sorta shocked the husband because he thinks he's Popeye, the doctor obviously knew I could take him... Had the MRI yesterday and will get result at 9:00 in the morning. Symptoms are a fractured tidbit (
tibea) something like that, oh well, guess we'll know tomorrow... enough on this my ankle starts throbbing just talking about it.
Then, I am busy as heck with the real estate thing right now, have two inspections, two appraisals and lots of contractors to meet this week to get things fixed on houses. Prince
Jaret, decides he wants to loose his job, so he can haul my fat tail around, on top of it all, which did come in quite handy this week. I keep almost falling on the crutches, and my left butt cheek keeps getting severe cramps from trying to hold my old, out of shape self up on one leg. It just ain't right!
I do believe my dad is getting
Alzheimer's, and I'm not trying to be funny on that one,
cuz it ain't anything funny about it. He gets severely pi--XXX ticked at me when I cannot talk to him the very second that he calls. If my phone rings and I haven't picked it up by the second ring, he hangs up and calls me back, or tries a different number for me. So, I told him last night that I was going to be real busy all day to day 9-4:30 for inspections! He calls as soon as I get to the first one, I answer, tell him I can't talk, he says okay, and calls me back a little later, I tell him I'm still with the same people, that I will call him as soon as I can. I get settled in my second inspection and call him and he tells me that he has decided that he is fixing to drive to Denver, Colorado, from Memphis, Tennessee, going 40 miles an hour, with no phone, not much money for hotels and such, can't see worth a crap to drive, his car has over 200,000 miles on it, the windows won't even roll down for
petesake. Now this is a man that I live 1.3 miles from and I can't even get him to come over to my house but on Holidays and when my sister, Princess Debi, is in town. Then he has to leave at before 5:00 so it won't get dark on him, if he makes one wrong turn, he gets lost for hours and don't even tell us about it until six months later, .........and he's going to drive three days across country, stay for two days because he gets so impatient with people, he just wants to go home, strip down to skid mark stained drawers, and lay on the couch. This just did not make sense to me! I had a feeling for some reason he was just trying to pay me back for not talking to him very much for the last few days, because I couldn't because of work and hurt! I got off the phone and my stomach ulcer started bleeding (because I can feel it) and my eye started twitching! What the... I had to calm down before I could call Princess Debi to tell her about it, so she could help me talk him out of it...well of course, by the time she calls him, he's changed his mind! He's decided both he and his car are too old, Thank God!!
I'm laying here on the couch, starting to feel sorry for myself, looking down at my poor leg, my skin that I've just discovered is getting very thin, which is a huge sign of "old age", just realized I have poison ivy on my left arm, and that I've probably got skid mark stained drawers myself by now..what the...I'm taking a pain pill and going to bed....
Peace out to the Princesses!
