Hi folks – kind of sluggish here this morning and last night was shot - I’ll explain more in a moment, but first: Brandy wants more pictures of my cats, so on Mondays I’ll post a new one. Here’s Seamas Declan – A.K.A. Bubba the Red-Necked Kitty.
Around 7:00 last night Bebo received a phone call – her mother had fallen on the ice and she was being transported to a hospital near here (she lives near Terrell for you Texans). Bebo took off for the hospital of course and I started the waiting game. Turns out her mother broke her femur just below the ball-joint in her left hip. They called it a specific type of break, but Bebo can’t remember what they called it. Anyway, she’ll be having surgery today – they will just do a hip replacement. Because of the ice on the roads I waited up for her to come home – it was close to midnight before I crawled into bed, later before I fell asleep. Combine that with the arthritis which is giving my fingers, knees and hips fits, its been a slow morning. I haven’t even been to Jill’s blog yet! I have a couple of chores to get to this morning, so I’ll be slow to get to everyone’s blogs – I know, you’ll miss my early morning wit – come on, admit it.
The ice wasn’t so bad – our highways are terrible of course, with all of the overpasses. And we have some areas of what is called “black ice” because of the drizzle and fog which iced up on the surface. Our ramp is inaccessible and the garage door has suddenly decided not to work right (I’m hoping it’s the weather), so if we have to go out the front, we are forced to climb down the two-tiered (brick) flower bed using the ramp railings for balance. Should all clear up today as the temp just now got to 32 and will be in the lower 40s by this afternoon. It was a good weekend to tuck in.
Yikes! Sounds like a disaster of a Sunday and a
of a Monday. Hope Bebo's mum is on the mend and your garage door too! The weather has been really weird here also. BTW thanks for stopping by and for your kind wishes. The hard candy is working a treat!
