Today was a waiting day. This morning I got up and was almost dressed when Rose showed up to help walk the dogs. She was a few minutes early so I threw on my sneakers and left. Didn't have time to brush my teeth.
We took the street around in the big circle and while I was throwing away a poop bag in someone's trash, Cookie got in front of me and I tried to step around her on the curb, but twisted my ankle really bad again. I was in severe pain for several minutes and tried to send Rose home to get my husband to come get me in the car but she was reluctant to leave. So I called him on the phone but he didn't answer, he was downstairs and didn't take his phone with him. So I hobbled on back home. I switched dogs with her, had her take Baby since Baby was pulling to go really fast and I couldn't walk that fast. I took the Bobsey twins, Kira and Cookie. When I got home, I iced my ankle after giving hubby a guilt trip. Then he had to get ready to go to work. I was dropping him off so I could have the car so I could go see my sister who was in town for a couple of days but even though I called and texted messages to her, she never contacted me. Oh well, sounds like she was too busy.
I visited with my neighbor, Janice, for a while. Looked at some of her childhood mementos she had gotten from her parents, who are clearing out their house she grew up in because they recently sold it. We looked some of them up on eBay and Etsy, just to see how much they are worth. It was a lot of fun.
Then I watched some Mystery Diagnosis episodes on YouTube, that ever wonderful place of videos. Then I sat down and did the budget while sitting outside in the swing. Pleasant place for dealing with money issues. It wasn't until I was writing to my cousin that I realized I forgot to add two bills to the budget, the $100 payment to the dentist and the $75 payment to the IRS. Better put those in tomorrow.
I picked up hubby at the end of the day and we went over to Short Stop, a Colorado Springs famous burger joint, and ate dinner, cheeseburgers and fries and a coke. We sat there and talked about the shops that were in this little shopping center and how they have changed over the years. It was a lot of fun. By the time we got home, hubby's back was bothering him so I fed all the beasties while he went to soak in a tub.
The good news today is I didn't think about suicide like I usually do. Usually it passes through my mind, wondering how I would do it or think that if I did it, my parents, my daughter, my hubby, would be very sad. I think my sisters would just shrug it off and come to the wake but not really be affected. Frankly, I think my parents would be sad but would just shake their head and say "That's just Kari. Always wanting attention." Then just going on with their life. But today I didn't hink that way. I was happy all day. Today was a good day. Even waiting for my sister to call, I didn't mind just staying home waiting. I didn't let it affect my life.
