Tuesday Evening: A Disaster-Free Day

I am happy to report that I have nothing to report!

NOTHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED TODAY!

Bill even feels a tiny bit better, and rested! He is terribly white, and very nauseous sometimes, but at other times, can eat quite well! He wanted to ride in the car today, and was able to help a little with the dogs, and things like that.

Best of all WE DID LAUNDRY AND ALL DICKENS DIDN'T BREAK LOOSE!

(Poor Charles Dickens! Wouldn't you hate to have your last name be a euphemism for hell? How did he get stuck with THAT?)

Of course, if there is someone you REALLY don't like, you can substitute their names for all kinds of things, and get a mwa-ha-haaaa chuckle out of it. Example: They pumped all the Hitler out of my septic tank yesterday. And when I ran the washing machine on LARGE LOAD, I saw not one iota of liquid Hitler coming into my shower, sink or john!

Wait! Ew! How did "john" come to mean "toilet"? It should be "Adolph". Here: Not one bit of Hitler came up into my Adolph today!

Wow. Beth needs to find a constructive use of her mind... this particular conversation is getting way too strange.

Anyway, the only $1200 thing that happened to us TODAY (and compared to the septic tank saga, this seemed like nothing!), was that our outdoor stone staircase fell apart. Yeppers. The ONLY stairs we have, outside leading from the basement where we now dwell, up to the actual level of the world of the living.

So our "Is he human or angel?" general contractor Steve made one phone call for us and got his genius stone masons out here SAME DAY (just like he got all those plumbers SAME DAY) and these masons are doing a beautiful job of rebuilding our outside stone stairs. Meanwhile.... Yes, we have to go around the side of the house and walk up hill for a couple of days, and yes, that involves walking over the Septic Tank from Dickens, but at least the septic tank isn't filled with Hitler right now, and our Adolphs are sparkling clean!

Love to all! And thanks for all the email hugs I got yesterday! Got us both right through it all!!!!!
