You know that things are decent when the most noteworthy event of the week is the gift of a fifth rubber ducky, This one is a little bigger than the others and is black and white striped. He arrived with a name...."Zed" because he is a Canadian duckie. This is a good thing because, we just ordered 20 pounds of bath salts instead of the 10 pounds that we have been ordering and they came without a rubber duckie. The 10 pound ones come with a duck
Things have been good this week. I still get tired, have slight, but improving shingles pain and the finger neuropathy is ever present. Did I tell you that I eat an orange each morning before I play tennis so that I have sticky hands and can hold on to my racket?
Speaking of tennis, I am improving slightly, moving a little faster and actually have won a few sets, including two today.....but that was against two women.........oops*...... er, I won playing with a woman yesterday. So there.
I am wondering about the research manager, however. Each day, I slice open the avocado for the day. Today, she was looking on the internet for an avocado slicer. Whoever, he was, he was only charging $2. So, not likely much of a threat. Besides, I could use the $2. However, she then went on to look for a collard green stripper. I think this was one of those Australian guys (Thunder from Down Under) who uses collard greens as part of his act.
That's okay. My receipt from Earth Origins yesterday charged $4.99 for "Blondie." I explained that was for spending 5 minutes with Blondie in one of the back rooms. The research manager did not believe me. It was actually a creative employee's technique to charge me a little less for my carrot juice which I get every day. I am actually starting to enjoy it.
All of our routines are in place. I am starting to take salads with me to the bridge club when I am going to be there over dinner. I am looking forward to January 8 when I get a petscan and bloodwork.
Meanwhile, I am doing this blog a little early since I will be out late tonight at a Christmas event.
*I will go right to bed when I get home so that I can play tennis in the morning if those women don't kill me first.
