Sunday evening I took a horrible fall whilst on a run. Hadley came to pick me up, Jesse drove me to urgent care where the nurse literally backed away from me and said, “You’re gonna need to go to the ER.” So Jesse drove me there where we waited for a good long time. Around 9:30, they told me I’d need X-Rays and a CT scan, and that it will “take hours” to get those tests. This is when my freak out level took an ultimate turn because I didn’t want Hadley and Harper home alone until 12 or 1 in the morning. Yes, they are both teenagers. Yes, we have a dog that kills squirrels and groundhogs, hitting them as though they are ping pong balls. I needed my babies not to be home alone. So the world’s greatest friend left her family so that Jesse could go home, and she showed up in her PJs and with a cartoon of ice-cream, and sat with me while I took all my tests and was released around 1am.
I had a bit of time on my hands this week, and lucky for me, another great friend sent me some paintbrush pens and I’m learning how to paint with those.
The high school seniors have graduated, and for (I think) 30 years, Pioneer High School has set up a Casino Night lock-in in the high school. The place was completely turned into a beach, spa, casino, lounge area with a DJ and food. Some friends and I spent a bit of time helping to set up on Friday night. The one with “Pit Boss” duct taped to her shirt was there from the afternoon until 3:30 in the morning. God bless her. God bless all us mamas with teenagers. Good gracious, we are all so tired.
A trip to the Farmer’s Market for grape tomatoes, basil, and rosemary for our garden. We have oregano and mint that’s lasted all winter, too. Jesse made my Grandma’s hummus to go with the tabouli he made over the weekend. He also made mojitos.
One week later, I put on the same outfit I had fallen in, and went for a run. Same clothes, new story. You know how I roll.
