Too Much Thursday in Thursday

 

I needed this cup years ago. One in particular thought nothing of her daughter sleeping around because she had so much fun when she was young. And, this fifteen-year-old was sleeping with the youth pastor with mother's blessing. I finally told her what I thought and we never spoke again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A short list for Thursday should be easy to do. Right? Not necessarily. 

We had three things to do.

*Tommy get car tag.

*Go to pick up free food for Thanksgiving, including a turkey

*Shop at Publix. 

We had a fourth thing to do--pick up two grocery store ads. We forgot about this one.

I rarely wake Tommy because I figure he knows how much sleep he needs, but I did on Thursday. He needed to get his tag. I thought he would go the courthouse about three miles away. When we had been on the road for about ten minutes, I asked him if he was going to get his tag. He was. When he got on the interstate, I asked where we were going. To Hoover. That is at least twenty miles from here. 

Last night, I asked him why he chose to go to the annex in Hoover that was so far away. He said he did not want to walk two blocks and navigate the courthouse, that he would rather drive twenty miles. I understood. It is a store front facility.

Then, we came home, I washed my hair which was filthy from not being washed for over two weeks. When we arrived at the food giveaway, we were shocked we were so far back in line. We just sat and talked and listened to Christmas music. Amazingly, we were out by 3 pm.

While we were sorting what we wanted from the food box, neighbor came to car to talk. Well, we waved her over. She took one of the two turkeys. Then, she came back for the sorted food we did not want. 

We were off to Publix. I had a list and told Tommy he could pick out two smallest turkey breasts to get it done faster. Plus, I cannot lift even the turkey breasts. He objected strongly, saying we did not have enough room in the freezer. I explained we could thaw and cook both and store them cooked in smaller packages. He saw frozen broccoli on the list and said he was not paying for food we could not store. 

That irritated me, so I told me to give me his credit card and go sit in the car and eat his chicken finger. He calmed right down, handed me his cc, and left. Silly man, I will spend his money if he won't. I could not help laughing inside. But, I kept a straight face. He hates it when I laugh at him.

All the cheap turkey breasts were gone. I did get two frozen broccoli packages. I got most of what was on the list. 

At home, we both had work to do. I labeled each can on top and front. He carried everything to me and then to kitchen.  I asked him what was coming on tv that we wanted to watch. It's a Wonderful Life. 

Between 6 and 7, I told him I was going to bed and not to wake me. I had not had dinner, nor had he. There were plenty of leftovers, so did not want to make the rice-chicken-broccoli casseroles for us. 

I woke up about an hour later, went to bathroom and back to bed. All night long, I did same. At 3 am, I had slept over 8 hours and got up. It is almost 7 am. We will be going to Home Depot for the storm door, Andersen. 

One thing may be too much today. I do want to go to Sam's Club, maybe not. I am sure we will both fade fast. At least, there are still lots of leftovers.

Tommy bought the two pair of pants and wore one pair yesterday. They seem too big around legs. I suppose buying four inches larger in the waist will do that. He does not have heavy thighs though. His legs are skinny guy legs. So, there is no need for all that thigh room. I asked him if he washed them. He said, "Yes, you made me!" I managed to keep a straight face. 

Lately, he has been sleeping in the pants he wore all day. That seems so uncomfortable. I have been saying I could hem pajama pants that I could buy him. He had said nothing. So, last night, he was digging around in his clothing and came up with Auburn pants. I have no idea if they are sleeping pants, "just regular sweatpants," he said. So, he slept in those last night. I do know there cannot be elastic in the bottom of the legs as he cannot get his feet through and cannot reach his feet. 

He is up. He does not want to go to Home Depot now, later. I thought 7 am was perfect...lol.

It's A Wonderful Life will be on other times before Christmas, so no regret there. 

I called the cleaner. She had more surgery for the carpal tunnel because after the first one a month ago, her hand went numb around the surgery. This time the doctor cut further. Now, she says it is very painful. So, it looks like she won't be back before Thanksgiving. I really need the Halloween stuff put away and the rest of Thanksgiving put out. The first time she comes back after Thanksgiving, at least she can put up my three outdoor deer. I am glad I never had recommended Carpal Tunnel surgery. 

The mower obviously does not want my car. He was supposed to call by Friday two weeks ago and no word yet. I don't even feel like selling it. Well, right now I do, but in an hour it will be nap time for me...lol. 😊My exhaustion plus recovering from the UTI have made me less able to do anything!

I have no idea what I did to get that emoji! But, I will leave it. 

Have you had carpal tunnel surgery? How was it?
