Wednesday

Dear Blog,

Well well well, its week three, middle of, and here I am, slightly worse for the wear, but fighting on. I am beginning to understand the routine. Eat, sleep and pee. Hey I'm a newborn baby.

And because I am such a sucker for punishment, we have contractors coming tomorrow to tear out and renovate my bathroom. Its the bathroom from hell. If I submitted a picture of it to the Oprah Winfrey show she would personally supervise the make over herself.

To give you an idea, when showering I never put my hand on the outside will because I am afraid the bricks will give way and I will wind up soapy and naked in the backyard.

If you are in the tub, you must avoid the falling insects and Andre leveled the faucet in the tub with a margerine tub lid. Long ago.

The other night I was ....well peeing. I looked into the tub and there was the biggest thing with a hundred legs I ever saw. I beat it to death with Andre's Sports Illustrated.

The next night I was again well.... you know and there was a spider in the tub the size of a nickel. Yup, same fate, same magazine. My cat jumped into the tub and ate that one. Is there a mouthwash for cats?

Anyway, with the renovation starting tomorrow I will have no bathroom for a week. I hope the neighbor really likes me. I hope I can learn to pee in a pail. I hope I don't do bodily harm to one of the contractors. Apparently being able to do bodily harm is one of the symptoms of the drug. So we are all on "hatchet murder" alert.

Strange, but as I sit here writing this silliness, I looked down, and there on the desk beside my computer is my Grandma Naomi's WCTU lifetime membership pin. Thats Women's Christian Temperance Union for the uninitiated. It is a little gold bow covered with seed pearls. She cherished it and it is/was tucked safely away in a special box at the top of my closed. And yet here it. Someplace it should not be. They say spirits move things to let you know they are there caring for you. I think she is. And of course looking shocked at my lack of ladylike behavior in discussion bathroom things in public. I think I will wear the pin today. A person needs all the angels she can get.

sending love
